What is webres?
webres is an online reservation system that is currently being implemented by almost 4000 companies*. The system was introduced to the market in 1998 and is now being utilized by many hotel chains such as Accor, Intercontinental Hotels, Hilton, NH, Ramada, Rezidor and Steigenberger etc. as well as hotel conglomerates. Webres is also being used particularly by private individual hotels for commission free bookings on their own web sites.
webres has a prominent market presence with over 350* proprietary city and destination portals as well as providing the technical know-how and support for hotel bookings.
* accurate as of Jan, 2006
The scalable server architecture of webres guarantees rapid adaptation of the system with increasing access and load. (eg. Telegate 11880, Koelnmesse, FairFairs, Dehoga NRW)
What is the difference between webres and other booking systems?
Apart from cost free booking on the hotels own web site, webres with its motto ‘connecting systems’ has endeavoured to minimize the maintenance requirements of hoteliers on commissionable internet portals. Actually, it is the wish of every hotelier to have one system that connects to all booking platforms globally. For the corporate segment and their central reservation systems this is already possible with some limitations. For private hotels, webres provides this solution.
webres provides an interface to almost all of the worldwide booking portals that are important for the hotel industry.
The interface with Worldres provides a connection to over 2000 global web sites. E.g. Opodo, Hotelstravel, Bestlodging, SAS, Otels-Europe etc.
The interface with Pegasus provides a connection to a further 1000 internet portals that can be maintained directly by webres. E.g. hotels.com, Orbitz, L`tur, TUI, DER, Expedia, travelchannel etc.
Furthermore, webres allows all hotels access to bookings in all the GDS systems, such as Amadeus, Galilieo, Sabre and Worldspans. Additionally, the hotels can be booked by over 650.000 Travel Agents. webres has now also become a GDS Provider itself with its own ‘Private Label’ (XW) in the GDS Systems. This gives an enormous advantage to German hoteliers as they now receive German administration of the webres system and German language support from the office in Hamburg.
We load your special Corporate rates into the system and allow your hotel to booked through organizations such as American Express, TQ3, Carlson Waggon Lits and others. Because of our centralized invoicing system, managing your commissions is so much easier.
Important is that each hotel apart from having direct bookings on its own web site, also has a presence in all available booking systems to ensure maximum exposure and access to reservations. This gives hotels, independent of size, the same advantages as hotel groups and chains.
Which webres version for which hotel?
There are six versions of the reservation system available to a hotel depending on its requirements. Which system is the most effective is determined in a personal meeting together with a webres consultant.
The webres system is flexible and able to meet the requirements of many differing company systems and strategies. Webres is also the ideal solution for the conception of a central reservation system for hotel groups and chains.
