Intelligenz Solutions, the Australia-based provider of integrated software for the fitness, spa, wellness and hospitality sector, has revealed plans to enter the UK market for the first time.

In addition to its existing sales and support offices in Australia, New Zealand and the US, a base is to open in Northampton, UK, to serve the Europe, Middle East and Africa region.

Intelligenz sales manager Neil O'Connell told Spa Opportunities that the group will be targeting smaller hotel chains and independent hotels/day spas as part of its UK move.

Among the company's products are the intelliSpa and intelliFitness services, and O'Connell said that "there was a strong opportunity in the UK for a specialised spa solution".

Intelligenz is planning to showcase its solutions at a number of upcoming shows and has attracted "great interest" from a number of its already-identified target businesses.

O'Connell said: "We believe that our software solution is more comprehensive and functional than the major competitors and perhaps is more current in its integration of web and mobile facilities.

"We would therefore aspire for Intelligenz UK to be one of the top three or four companies by way of new installations within the first three years."
