IMS Voyager Reservation software allows any hotel website to become a significant and powerful hotel room booking, destination, management and reservation e-distribution centre.
Internet Merchandising Systems Inc. announced today the availability of their new 'Calendar Driven Multiple Placement Selection Engine' module with a graphical user interface providing a powerful color-coded graphical seating or placement display (using customer provided graphical layouts) with easy mouse or keyboard-driven placement selection for their IMS Voyager Reservation Management and Merchandising Software.
With the new selection engine module, reservation information can be presented graphically, which can be taken through to either hotel room selection, (floor/view maps), seat selection, marina docking space, campground sites, etc. Users then have access to an enormous amount of visual information thus, allowing fast, efficient client service.
The result is an inviting, interactive room, seat or placement purchasing process that readily supports an advanced customer service experience.
'The capability for active room, seat or placement selection and integrated seat/place view graphic links support our customers' efforts to make it as easy as possible for people to make that reservation." said IMS President John Shenton.
Also, recently released was their latest Enterprise Hotel Reservation Portal software. Making it possible for hotel chains, regional properties or properties with a common theme to expand their Internet presence save on distribution costs and generate more sales by allowing each licensed hotel to log-in directly to a central website and access their own secure hotel administrative area to control their rates, availability, photos and descriptive information and also has features for controlling rooms on allocation rather than in active inventory.
It provides a powerful new database search box allowing visitors to search hotels by a variety of criteria, such as, Destination, Room type, Price range and Star rating, plus the result page can be sorted by Name (A-Z) and (Z-A), by Price (low to high) and by Star rating (low to high).

The Enterprise Hotel Reservation Portal also includes the newly released IMSEdit, the IMS online WYSIWYG/HTML authoring tool that empowers their reservation and rental software users with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface for creating and publishing web descriptive content using any of the IMS software.
"This new version with its powerful online contracting & rate distribution capabilities for travel agents, resellers and corporate clients, allows hotels to easily set rates and allotments in the system, at which point any approved agent will have access to view availability and make reservations immediately. Many other powerful features and the new graphical editing interface allow any website to become a significant and powerful hotel room booking and reservation e-distribution centre," said IMS President John Shenton.
