Hotel Technology Next Generation

Most hotels operate a dozen or more disparate systems to manage their business operations. For years the industry has struggled to make these systems interoperable, and as a result, hotel staffs have spent many frustrating hours managing and duplicating data in multiple systems. SynXis has solved the problem for its customers by implementing an integration services architecture using the Open Travel Alliance (OTA) and HTNG (Hotel Technology Next Generation) standard XML specifications which help enable flexible and robust integration products.

Property Connect addresses the growing demand of hotels to integrate reservations from RedX to their property’s PMS. In the first quarter of 2006, SynXis has seen a 45% jump in the volume of reservations integrating directly from RedX into the various PMSs. Property Connect also makes it quick and easy for RedX to interface with a hotel’s other critical systems such as those that manage Yield Management, CRM and even Spa and Golf reservation functions.

RedX connects with dozens of the most popular PMSs. With both “one-way” and “two-way” interfaces, Property Connect automates critical tasks such as: reservation delivery, inventory and rate updating, stay controls (or booking rules) management, reservation and profile synchronization and yielding functionalities.

Channel Connect integrates RedX directly to third party travel sites such as Travelocity and Groople as well as custom-built booking engines. Channel Connect enables hotels to better differentiate their products by providing information such as detailed stay policies and child pricing directly to retail points of sales.

“We are proud to be able to offer these powerful integration technologies to RedX customers. Other industries have had great success subscribing to ‘open standards.’ Because we have implemented web services and supported both OTA and HTNG standards, we are able to overcome many challenges of custom software development, and our customers will reap the benefits,” commented Bill Nicholson, CEO of SynXis. “Our technology innovations will continue to drive distribution for our properties.”
