18-Jun-08 Hotel Concepts and Brilliant Hotel Software Launch RezExchange
New technology platform offers channel management capabilities straight from the PMS
Hotel Concepts, a leading global provider of property management/CRS technology and software solutions for the hospitality industry and Brilliant Hotel Software, an internationally acclaimed software developer specializing in products for the hospitality industry, today announced the launch of RezExchange, a distribution platform for hotel rates, availability, content and reservations.
With RezExchange, hotels can manage their GDS, CRS, ADS and branded website channels straight from the PMS, and will receive all reservations made through these channels directly into their PMS database. The single image inventory design allows for last room availability on all channels and eliminates the risk of overbooking.
“Making PMS based channel management affordable to every hotelier has been a long time personal desire,” said Bas Blommaart, Chairman and CTO of Hotel Concepts. “With the launch of RezExchange we have now accomplished this.”
Patrick van der Wardt, Managing Partner of Brilliant, added, “Gone are the days of our customers requesting interfaces with third party channel management software. We can now offer it as an integrated part of our property-based solutions.”
“I see enormous potential,” said Erik Weller, Director of Business Development for RezExchange. “Not just for RezExchange, but more importantly for our customers, whose incremental business is guaranteed when all of these channels are connected to the one place that holds their inventory, the PMS.”
With an already impressive list of connected buy-side channels, which is continuously expanding, RezExchange offers direct connectivity to small independent hotels, as well as hotel chains with their own Chain Code on the GDS.
