Our Internet Booking Engine (IBE) HOL-RES lies at the core of the Hotels Online product suite.
The core purpose of the IBE is to handle the placing, modification and cancellation of accommodation reservations; HOL-RES can work either on a standalone basis or in conjunction with other add-on modules such as HOL-PMS or HOL-Connect.
HOL-RES in it's standalone form is suitable for:
- small to medium sized hotels;
- bed & breakfasts;
- guest houses; and
- self-catering establishments.
Larger organisations, such as travel agents or destination management companies can also utilise many of the features of HOL-RES via other add-on modules such as HOL-Agent, HOL-Canvas and HOL-XML.
How does HOL-RES work?
Outlined below is a simple description of the flow of the most basic method of HOL-RES operation;
- A prospective guest visits the web site of the accommodation whether that is a hotel or a guest-house.
- Guest decides to place a booking and so clicks a "Book Now" link or button which launches HOL-RES.
- Guest now enters pertinent reservation details and completes the secure payment process.
- Guest is returned to the starting website; and both guest & hotelier are then notified of the appropriate reservation details.
