OVERVIEW

As part of an integrated and well-balanced online hotel distribution strategy, today's hotel marketers focus on driving direct online bookings and achieving a substantial ROI via their own hotel website.

From a technology standpoint, they demand a hotel booking-engine that is easy to integrate in an existing hotel website, supports the sale of various types of hotel offerings including promotions and stay enhancement add- ons, and fully support not only desktop but also mobile users.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS

BOOKING PROCESS

Our Premium Booking Engine can be easily integrated into your existing hotel website - you decide if you prefer a simple booking-button or a customized search form that meets your website's design.

Search, Select, Options, Check-Out: The four-step booking process follows industry best-practices and allows for a fast,

unobtrusive and secure booking- process that ultimately leads to less abandoned shopping carts and higher booking conversions.

MERCHANDISING

While following rate-parity best practices will get your customers to consider your hotel website for the final booking, up-sell offers within your booking-process ensures you get the maximum booking value from each guest.

This engine supports your merchandising activities with features like Promotion Prices, Packages/Deals, Room Upgrades,Room Add-On Sales (i.e. food & beverage items, spa treatments , parking lots, etc.), and Promotional Messages (Teasers) that can be scheduled to appear only for certain days of arrivals.

MOBILE

From mobile browsers to netbooks and tablets, users are visiting your hotel website from an increasing array of devices and browsers. Our Booking Engine is built on Responsive Web Design standards that anticipate and respond to your user's viewing needs.

In addition, dedicated mobile versions for iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows devices make booking your hotel on smaller screens fast and simple.
