Why teams choose Univents
Univents covers the DACH compliance stack — XRechnung, DATEV export and GoBD-compliant finance — which a platform geared to international hotel chains does not provide.
Univents also covers the operational depth after the sale — staff and shift planning plus production and material planning for caterers, whereas iVvy's run sheets target the schedule rather than staffing and production.
Univents includes an AI assistant across the whole tool (voice memo to event, chat commands, mail inbox that reads along). iVvyAI uses AI agents for sales: reading enquiry emails, scoring leads and preparing proposals.
