innRoad and InnLink CRS Join Forces to Centralize Global Distribution,
Web Bookings and Hotel Operations
 

Unique single platform enables independent hoteliers to compete more cost-effectively for customers


Hendersonville, TN—innRoad, the leading Software-as-a-Service hotel management solution, and InnLink today announced the introduction of an enhanced interface to provide their customers with access to the GDS—and allowing management of  inventory and reservations from a single dashboard.
 
This seamless GDS and OTA connectivity makes innRoad a fully integrated, web-based property management, global distribution, central reservations and marketing solution, bringing new levels of ease and affordability to bear for independent hotel owners. innRoad’s innovative platform, in combination with the InnLink CRS/PMS interface, automates reservation, rate update and availability exchange between the two systems, enabling properties to sell all their inventory without fear of overbooking.
 
Since the introduction of the InnLink interface in July 2009, innRoad has been selected by more than 20 customers who realize the value of this new offering in increasing occupancy—and profits.
 
innRoad CEO Murat Ozsu stated, “innRoad is all about saving independent hoteliers time and money, and increasing bookings. So when you consider the cost-effectiveness of InnLink’s GDS connectivity solution, and focus on service, they were the obvious choice in partners. Their interface streamlines operations, provides real-time availability sharing and allows our joint customers to sell more rooms through more channels.”
 
Added Per Wendin, InnLink CEO, “The CRS/PMS interface is a key component of hotel efficiency. We are pleased to be able to provide significant benefits to both innRoad and InnLink customers through this agreement.”
 
The interface is available for deployment today through innRoad, by contacting 866.504.0632 or visiting www.innroad.com.
