�We see this as an important step in providing intelligent and integrated solutions to our client base,� says Hebert Frosch, Novacom�s Managing Director.  �Furthermore, as we expand our activities, it is important for us to have a partner providing an international solution with the ability to communicate with a wide range of platforms.�

Because it is a true two-way interface, hoteliers will also be able to receive reservations directly into their property reservations systems, a task that currently involves sending faxes to the hotel and manually typing them in.  The human error factor inherent in this process can sometimes make for an unhappy arrival for guests if the reservation is entered incorrectly � or not at all.

�Novacom�s excellent reputation of responding to customer feedback led them to conduct a careful analysis of their clients� concerns,� says Darin McAuliffe, Senior VP of Global Sales and Marketing for Hotel Booking Solutions.  �We are delighted that Novacom has chosen hobooBox to provide a channel management solution in response.�
