SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Online Hotel Reservation System firm Frontdesk Anywhere expands reach for hotel distribution for its customers. BookIt.com and Hoteliers.com join the ranks of Expedia.com, Travelocity.com and over 130 other online travel agencies where Frontdesk Anywhere hotel customers are able to list their properties.
BookIt.com is the largest privately held online travel agency in North America and has developed a patent on searches for travel deals by focusing on the guest's point of origin. Hoteliers.com focuses on European properties and fills out the sales channel options for those European-based Frontdesk Anywhere customers.
Today, maximizing online exposure is key as more than 148 millions bookings are made online every year. However, being listed on multiple Online Travel Agencies can lead to over-bookings and requires a great deal of management from the hotelier due to each channel particularities. Frontdesk Anywhere FDx channel manager platform centralizes inventory and rates and updates in real time all the channels the hotel is listed on.
"Frontdesk Anywhere is focused on providing easy-to-use web-based hotel management software" stated Frontdesk Anywhere co-founder, Thomas Lyle. "Integrating our powerful channel management platform into our service allows hotels to manage their inventory from within the hotel reservation software platform while making their rooms available on OTAs. All reservations received will be available in the system with no manual intervention required. It's the best of both worlds with regards to both visibility and ease of operations."
Eric Jursin, owner of the Tavern Hotel in Cottonwood, AZ has been using online sales channels for several years. "Linking my hotel management software directly to OTAs made perfect sense," stated Eric Jursin. "My Frontdesk Anywhere account handles all of the booking retrievals and updates the inventory availability so I no longer oversell my rooms."
