The Pelican System provides Concorde Hotels future technology solution for today, bringing the Concorde Hotels ahead of its other competitors. 

The five Concorde Hotels that have signed up for this service with effect from September 2004 are:

• Concorde Hotel Singapore � 515 rooms and suites
• Malaysia � Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur � 570 rooms and suites
• Malaysia � Concorde Hotel Shah Alam � 381 rooms and suites
• Malaysia � Concorde Inn Kuala Lumpur International Airport � 423 rooms and suites
• Australia � Concorde Hotel Gold Coast � 199 rooms and suites

• Distribute "last minute" rates to travel agents, corporate clients and Internet users � To maximise yield and reduce the possibility of unsold room-nights, hotels would adjust room rates on a weekly or daily basis to conform to seasonal demands and prevailing market conditions.  The Pelican system can distribute announcements and other information instantly to agents and clients throughout the world. 

• Distribute room allotments � Manually issuing room allotments to individual travel agents and corporate clients is costly, time-consuming, and subject to error.  The Pelican System solves this problem by automating the allotment process. Hotels can determine room allotments for a specific group or type of client, which can then be shared by hundreds or even thousands of agents and corporate clients worldwide, optimising room allocations and providing equal opportunities to all clients. 

• Distribute costs � Pelican System�s Internet-based technology allows the hotels to make considerable savings in distribution expenses.  Room rates and allotments can be distributed globally at minimal cost.

About Pelican System 
Pelican is an Internet-based reservation system designed to manage all types of bookings, whether made directly by guests or through travel agents and corporate clients.

For Internet users (direct guests) Pelican will provide instant confirmation of reservations made through a hotel website, and will notify the hotel�s Reservation Department though automatically generated e-mail messages. 

For travel agents and corporate clients Pelican offers a feature called �Online Contracting,� which eliminates the need for paper-based, fixed-term contracts, allowing the hotel to set and adjust rates and allotments instantly according to seasonal period, special events, or unexpected demand. 

Pelican System provides a secure link to agents and clients, allowing hotels to distribute confidential trade rates to pre-authorized recipients, and to share allotments among many agents and clients on a �first-come-first-served� basis. Each agent or client accesses the system directly from the hotel�s own website with a unique login/password combination, allowing the hotel to assign each user to a specific group, and to determine the information and privileges each group will receive.  

With Pelican System, the hotel has complete control at all times, and can easily monitor activity through instantly generated summaries and full reports.
