YUVENDA Get-together 2026: Growing Together

Since 2024, ALVARA has been part of the YUVENDA Group and thus part of a strong European network for software solutions in retail, gastronomy, and consumer-oriented services. This merger has unlocked cross-industry synergies for us. The biggest advantage is clear: we grow together. This was once again demonstrated at this year’s YUVENDA Get-together in March.

Growth of the YUVENDA Group: New Partners and Synergies

One for all. And all for one. What the Three Musketeers stood for also applies to our YUVENDA Group. That’s why the business units meet once a year to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. How has YUVENDA developed in recent months? What is the current composition of the group? How do the portfolios of the individual organizations complement each other?

The most positive news: YUVENDA continues to grow as a software platform. The latest additions include:

• Octobox – provider of modern Android-based POS systems
• SEAK – a solution for effective workforce management
• FID SOFTWARE – solutions for store auditing, loss prevention, and custom development
• Cinetixx – a comprehensive solution for modern cinema management

For ALVARA, this growth means one thing above all: new opportunities for integration and collaboration. Through close networking within the group, innovations can be driven forward more quickly and solutions can be developed in a more targeted way. Customers in particular benefit from this through better-integrated systems, more efficient processes, and future-proof technologies.

In addition to professional exchange, personal interaction played a central role. Networking sessions and a shared dinner provided the opportunity to make new connections and strengthen existing partnerships, an essential foundation for successful cross-company projects.

Artificial Intelligence as a Driver for New Solutions

Alongside the introduction of new business units, networking, and an outlook on future projects, one topic took center stage at the YUVENDA Get-together - AI. One thing is certain: artificial intelligence will be the key driver in the years ahead. This has already become evident across individual companies over the past twelve months.

The clear mission of the exchange: move away from the AI hype and toward real, value-generating use cases. Various YUVENDA examples of meaningful AI applications in development were presented, including a chatbot based on ERP data. In addition, demo sessions on practical applications for coding, support, content creation, and data analysis allowed us to share and refresh existing knowledge.

In 2026, many exciting developments will undoubtedly emerge in this area, optimizing business models and creating advantages for YUVENDA as a group as well as for our customers. All business units are currently working toward this goal.

Moving Forward Together

Together we are stronger. This applies to all areas of life and to business as well. That’s why we are proud to be part of the YUVENDA Group and to regularly exchange ideas with other companies within our network. Ultimately, it is our customers who benefit from these expanded resources and expertise through connected solutions for the digitalization and automation of work processes.
