The Seller’s Homework, Done Properly

The Engagement

In a sale process, the buyer’s advisors will take the technology apart — the only question is whether the seller knows what they’ll find. A Vendor Due Diligence answers that question in advance: an independent, defendable assessment the seller commissions on their own product and organization.

For easybooking, we prepared exactly that — a report a counterparty can trust, and a management team that walks into negotiations knowing its own numbers.

Assessment Angles

• Platform & architecture — the booking and guest-management stack end to end: strengths, constraints, and what carries growth.
• Technical debt inventory — a quantified account of what a two-decade-old market position brings with it, and modernization initiatives.
• Team & organization — who builds and runs the product, and continuity through a transaction.
• Security & data protection — posture and practices, with hotel and guest data in scope.
• Documentation readiness — a findings base structured for the data room: no scrambling when the process starts.
• Roadmap — where the product is heading, and what credible levers are.

What the Seller Takes Away

Transparency is negotiating power. A VDD lets the seller address issues before buyers price them, and replaces surprises with a narrative the company controls.
