Adoria was founded in France in 2003 and is used by 2,700 organisations, offering solutions for tendering, procurement, logistics and production.

Our aim will be to support Adoria's international development, while simultaneously benefiting from its expertise and from a highly qualified team."
Laurent Gueye, chief executive of Adoria, said: "We are very pleased to be working with AccorHotels as we are both focused on the same goal: providing the most innovative digital solutions in order to enhance our customers' experience.
"Adoria is growing structurally in its market and we are proud to be a recognized leader among organizations and medium-sized, large and global catering groups. By combining our strengths with those of AccorHotels, we are going to increase the performance of our customers."
