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
