Why is it better to use *evolution hotel software

compared to traditional CRS or channel management solutions?

As a result of its fully integrated all-in-one design, *evolution hotel software is capable to deliver a unique advantage - one single real-time image of inventory on all channels – hotel system (PMS), reservations desk, traditional channels, travel portals (ADS), global distribution systems (GDS), hotel's web site. This opens a whole new set of opportunities to reach your potential consumers on all available channels.

*evolution hotel software is better than a CRS because:

Real time integration between on-line channels and hotel management system

While CRS or channel manager solutions operate independently and maintain separate images of inventory from hotel reservation software, *evolution hotel system provides full integration between hotel database and on-line channels (travel web sites, GDS, on-line booking engine).

You do not have to upload room allocations, rates and restrictions manually, as they are transferred directly from *evolution hotel software. All new or updated customer requests or bookings will enter automatically into your database, which opens new customer interaction opportunities.

All certified interfaces to public web sites are free of licensing or of recurring monthly fees, unlike those charged by CRS vendors for interfaces to hotel management software ranging between USD 100 - USD 300 per month for more limited functionality.

This real time integration allows much smarter allocation management, better customer interaction and reduced technology expenditures.

Smarter availability management

Traditional CRS or channel mangers use staic daily allocations, managed into a separate image of inventory from the one in your real time hotel system's database.

They would close the respective channel after the allocated capacity for it has been booked - irrespectively if there are available rooms in your real time inventory. Thus, they will miss real sales opportunities. In contrast, *evolution hotel software keeps your channels open until you have available rooms in your entire inventory by telling the hotel system when to stop selling (closing thresholds in remaining rooms), instead of how much to sell (fixed allocations). This way the hotel reservation software gives you a possibility to sell any available room, rate or promotion on any channel - wherever demand comes from.

As a result, you can maximize your bookings volume, potential and even improve ratings on the travel web sites (ADS).

Bypass switching fees and monthly minimum commissions for travel web sites with direct interfaces

Thanks to the certified interfaces, which connect *evolution hotel software directly with leading travel web sites, you can deal directly with their vendors at their best contractual conditions.

Thus, you may eliminate the switching fees or monthly minimum commissions usually charged by CRS or channel manager vendors, without sacrificing the convenience of managing your channels from a single location.

As a result, you will pay less fees and commissions and will retain more of your revenue for yourself.

Commission free on-line booking engine for hotel's web site

*evolution hotel software provides on-line booking engine for your hotel's web site which is completely free of any commissions or fixed fees. As an alternative, web booking engines provided by CRS or WBE vendors would generally charge you not less than 3-5% commission from reservations booked from your own hotel's web site.

This way you may redirect maximum traffic through your on-line booking engine, without bothering for extra commissions. For example, you may encourage all your companies and agents to check availabilities, send requests or directly book at their negotiated rates. Or, you may try to convert present GDS or travel portal bookers into direct customers - fully free of any booking charges.

As a result, you may benefit on new sales opportunities, eliminate commissions over web site reservations, provide faster and more convenient ways for your customers to interact with you and save efforts and time on processing reservations workload.
