Over 50% of travellers make reservations online these days, but they want to book their stay with instant confirmation, it’s no longer acceptable to simply offer an enquiry form — the majority will simply look elsewhere.
Similarly, many guests use sales channels such as booking.com and Expedia as hotel search engines rather than places to actually book – and once they find a property they like the look of, as many as 2 in 3 will then use traditional search engines to try to find and book directly on the hotels own site for their peace of mind — and at no commission cost to the property!
Completely integrated with iBex PMS or your 3rd party PMS, our online booking software shows your current availability on your website in real time. Display multiple rates like room only, B&B — and even create packages with a fixed fee component like mid-week golf specials. Vary your internet rates by occupancy, season, day of the week or duration of stay — or any combination of those. Set child and infant rates, sell extras like meals, travel cots, parking etc.
Our virtual rooms feature allows you to market the same physical room in a number of different ways, for example a twin and double with connecting door could be sold as either the individual rooms or a suite, without ever running into double booking problems.
iBex has a number of options for taking deposits ranging from a percentage of the booking value, a fixed fee or number of nights stay, all integrated with real time credit card processing at the point of booking.
Best of all, we price iBex without commission at an incredibly low fixed fee per month based on the size of your property. The price for our online booking engine includes all the functionality of our channel manager, so you can download reservations and upload rates and availability automatically from booking.com, Expedia and others.
