- Hotel Booking Solutions, LLC and Hotellinx Ltd. are pleased to announce
the development of a two-way interface between Hotellinx and hobooBox.
Using OTA compliant XML technology, the new interface will allow Hotellinx
customers to automate the process of updating online distribution channels
with rates and availability. It will also process inbound reservations
directly into Hotellinx, and will extend Hotellinx's yield management capabilities
by allowing the system to automatically control online rates. The
end result will be a system that reduces man-hours and human error while
maximizing RevPAR and the accuracy of online rates and availability.
"I applaud Hotellinx for finding a solution to one of the greatest challenges
facing hotels today," says Darin McAuliffe, Senior VP, Global Sales and
Marketing at HBS. "This joint effort will provide hoteliers the tool
to streamline the reservation process, not just for their customers, but
their distribution channels as well, by providing them with low-cost, cutting
edge technology."
 "The
new interface to Hotel Booking Solutions is exactly what all hoteliers
will be looking for," says Eva Soderholm, Marketing Director at Hotellinx
Systems Ltd. "It will be the optimal way for the hotels to streamline
distribution of room availability, as it offers them one single gateway
to many sales channels."
