In 2017 a group of accommodation and event providers presented us with a challenge: their Property Management System wasn’t meeting their needs.  They asked us to build Turbo and promised their support to help us make the perfect PMS.  After completing significant software development and fine-tuning, we launched our first module in 2019 and since then we have kept up the pace with upgrades, new features, and new modules. Turbo PMS is part of Redburn Innovations Ltd., a Suffolk (UK) based team of dedicated software engineers, product designers, testers, and support specialists.  Our mission is to develop online solutions that delight our clients in the travel and hospitality markets.
