Vertical Booking CRS/BE - Features
It is the most complete, flexible, straightforward and fastest system on the market.
The main characteristics are:
- It is able to manage various types of properties: hotels (both business, leisure, resorts and even B&B), Hotel Chains and Apartment Complexes.
- It can manage all room types (or apartments): the system allows hoteliers to specify occupancy in a very detailed way.
It is possible to create 'virtual' rooms, meaning that the same room type can be sold with different definitions and marketing strategies but with the same room inventory. - It is able to manage any kind of rate type, special offers and packages. Thanks to multi-layer derivation, simply modifying the master rates updates all the derived rates in real time which can be associated to different distribution channels (website, mobile, IDS, GDS).
- The system includes a control panel for quick and accurate management of booking rules, by property, rate type, room type or distribution channel.
- Cancellation Policies and Payment Methods can be managed in a very detailed yet rapid way.
- It includes very effective corporate customer management (companies, TOs, TAs) and their relative agreements. Special corporate rates, commissionable public rates and allotments can be associated with agreements very quickly.
- It includes Group Agreements which can be used for events, congresses, weddings and also for membership agreements or loyalty programs.
- Distribution is completely integrated into the system: a synchronised Channel Manager and GDS connectivity are part of the Vertical Booking software.
- It includes innovative Marketing Tools (including conversion analysis tools both for BE and GDS, BE upselling tools, Intelligence tools like a rate checker and a guest review software).
- Easy and complete reports and statistics available in real time, including charts and graphs and a Dashboard Snapshot provides a “real time” quick view of performance at any time.
