Smartomate is a Slovenian digital innovation SME focused on tourism, hospitality, process automation, and AI-supported services.
Founded by Janja Viher and Branko Kmetec, Smartomate combines tourism and project development understanding with strong expertise in business process automation, low-code platforms, data, and AI orchestration.
We work with providers and partners who want practical digital transformation — especially in sectors where experiences, communication, and operational coordination matter as much as the technology behind them.
Our work focuses on:
- tourism and hospitality digitalisation
- visitor engagement and storytelling
- reservations and operational workflows
- process automation and AI-supported services
- innovation and pilot implementation
Through Spotvibez, we help tourism and hospitality providers move from fragmented communication and manual coordination toward clear digital presentation, bookable experiences, and stronger year-round visitor engagement.
