Why Is Hotel Reservation Software Needed?

In the past, before the Internet era, bookings came in via phone, fax or by snail mail. Nowadays bookings can come from all over the place from normal offline areas like phone, fax, but also now by email, internet booking sites and from websites such as hotels.com or Expedia. How do you keep up with this rush of information?

The Answer

Hotel reservation software is the answer to managing all of these booking sources quickly and with ease. When a potential customer phones your hotel and asks for availability on particular dates, can you answer them within seconds? When a potential customer views your website, can they check room availability and book online? Like it or not, to stay competitive, hotels need booking systems which can offer real time availability and minimum fuss in making a booking as it's all about time these days. If a customer can't get an answer or find availability on your website, they will go elsewhere to make a booking.

What else can Booking Software do?

From making a booking to creating invoices (Email/MS Word/Open Office) to checking in your guests, to booking information, customer payments reports, guest arrivals reports. Hotel software manages your business and provides reports as and when needed from the system. There is too much information to manage your business by book alone, especially when you have internet bookings as well. The hotel booking system will manage both your online and offline booking sources from one place. Perfect!

Online and Offline Room Booking Software

I wanted to update everyone on our newest version of the hotel booking system. Our latest version is version 2.6. It is now possible to take on-line bookings as well as off-line bookings.

The new on-line bookings system works as follows:

1. Download our new In-house booking system to your computer.

2. Sign-up for the internet booking service. We will respond by providing details such as your booking page for which you will want to link to from your own website in order for your customers to book on-line.

3. Bookings made off-line will be synchronised to the internet and on-line bookings will download into the In-house booking system.

4. Bookings made on-line will download straight into the In-house system. No manual entry required.

Other hotel owners use hotels.com and laterooms.com as an additional means to get bookings. This will require manual entry into a booking system. If you can get most, if not all people booking through our online booking service then you will save time as no manual entry of

bookings is required. Also, your customers can be assured that their room booking won't be liable to any changes such as caused by double booking.
