The world-leading online solutions provider for the hospitality industry and the Italian leader in PMS systems announce a certified 2-way interface between the FastBooking Engine and Scrigno management suite that will help hotels improve sales across all channel, from e-channels to more traditional ones, using cutting-edge technologies.
FastBooking and GP Dati Hotel Service S.p.A announce the integration of the FastBooking Engine with the Scrigno® hotel management applications suite.
According to the two companies, the partnership is dedicated to quality and innovation: the partnership aims to give to the market a "global solution" which covers the entire hotel industry value chain from promotion to online sales to CRM to revenue management, and front and back office solutions.
"The agreement is very important; it responds to a clear customer demand for integration between revenue management, PMS and online sales functions, says Piero Pellegrini, CEO of GP Hotel Information Service.
“Our goal is to provide hoteliers with seamless connectivity, “ adds Francis Louis Passerini, FastBooking Managing Director, Italy. “We pleased to join forces with GP Dati to make this a reality.”
The first step is the launch of a bidirectional interface that integrates Scrigno, GP Dati’s modular, data-driven revenue management tool and the FastBooking Engine, the industry’s most comprehensive, high performance Internet booking engine. Integration between other FastBooking solutions and GP Dati tools is also underway.
FastBooking has been active in Italy since 2005 and the company’s performance-based business model, a first in the industry, has been in place since its inception in 2000. Concurrent with the announcement of the partnership, GP Dati is launching an innovative “No Investment” sales formula, the first-ever for a PMS provider, aligned with the innovative FastBooking business model: hotels take advantage of all sales and marketing services and front-office Scrigno functions paying a small fee on the room nights occupied.
The FastBooking Engine incorporates a fast, intuitive, simple-to-use interface which offers visitors the best booking conditions and thus increases hoteliers’ conversion ratio. The FastBooking Engine is entirely integrated with Scrigno and is managed by a single back office tool: the advantage is that bookings, room availability and prices can be managed in real time from the property management system (PMS).
Scrigno® is an integrated, modular and entirely Web-based multi-hotel management suite created on Oracle technology. The suite allows for cohesively sharing information across the Marketing, Sales, Administration and Finance and Production departments. All the suite’s solutions for managing the various hotel departments or an entire hotel chain are based on a single customer database that allows for sharing customer databases, production statistics and rate policies in real time.
“Thanks to this integration, the hotel manager has access to a single complete solution for managing the hotel, online sales and communication and promotion via the Web, with the aid of top-of-the-range solutions provided by two leading market players, says Francis Louis Passerini.
