Frontdesk Anywhere Completes InnLink Enhanced CRS/PMS Interface


Hendersonville, TN - November 22, 2011 - Hotel management software company Frontdesk Anywhere and InnLink Central Reservation services announce the introduction of an enhanced CRS/PMS interface to provide their joint customers with simplified inventory management and increase sales visibility.

The GDS and OTA connectivity allows Frontdesk Anywhere customers to manage their hotel from the online PMS and, in combination with the InnLink CRS/PMS interface, distribute rooms to the GDS and IDS. The interface includes reservation delivery from the CRS to the PMS, and inventory exchange between the two systems, enabling properties to sell their entire inventory without fear of overbooking.

Frontdesk Anywhere co-founder, Thomas Lyle stated, “Frontdesk Anywhere is focused on providing easy-to-use web-based hotel management software solutions for our customers. The interface with InnLink as our GDS partner will allow hotels to manage their inventory from the Frontdesk Anywhere PMS with their rooms available on the GDS. All reservations received will be available in the PMS with no manual intervention required.  It’s the best of visibility and ease of operations in both worlds. We are pleased to be able to offer this solution.”

“It’s a great program,” Stacy Page, General Manager of the Budget Inn & Suites in Brownwood, TX stated. “We immediately saw the bookings start to flow in once the connection was made. As an added bonus, everything is online so I can easily check on my property from any computer at the property or at home.”

Kristin Intress, InnLink CEO, stated, “The CRS/PMS interface is a key component of hotel efficiency ensuring the best sales opportunity. We are pleased to be able to provide significant benefits to both Frontdesk Anywhere and InnLink customers through this agreement.”

The interface is available for deployment today. Customers may contact Frontdesk Anywhere at 1-866-924-1949 or www.frontdeskanywhere.com or InnLink at 800-525-4658 or www.innlink.com
