Reservations Integration Reduces Hotel Operational Costs Associated with Managing Group Reservations
Passkey, the worldwide leader in online group reservations, today announced that it has completed a full reservations integration with Visual One Systems. The integration of the two technologies provides a completely automated on-line solution for all group reservations, providing hotel staff 24/7 access to accurate attendee and event data, and further decreasing the costs and time associated with manually entering and managing group reservations.
'We are very excited about our integration with Passkey at our properties,' said Dan Wasser, senior vice president for Visual One Systems. 'By leveraging the unique strengths of both our systems, our two companies have worked together to create a reservations integration environment for group properties such as The Scottsdale Plaza Resort, and the National Conference Center.'
The integration utilizes Passkey's GroupLink, an industry-leading reservation interface that enables delivery and synchronization of reservation data between Passkey and a hotel's property management system.
With Passkey hotels gain an important competitive edge that lets them:
• Increase staff efficiencies by eliminating manual reservation processes;
• Reduce operational costs and intermediary commissions by automating reservation data delivery process;
• Eliminate human errors associated with the manual entry of group data;
• Improve forecasting and yield management using accurate reservation information.
'The benefits of our solution increase significantly with partners like Visual One where we share in delivering value to a mutual client,' said Greg Pesik, president & CEO of Passkey International, Inc.
