Bookt Platform Portal Features
What do you need to build an effective lodging portal?
An aggregation portal has slightly different needs from a regular lodging website:
Of course you also must make sure that you base any business with rapid growth potential on a solid and scalable technology platform. That’s what Bookt offers…
In order to effectively market lodging inventory over a wider geographic area,we employ location search functionality like Ajax populated lists and other tools like automatic spelling adjustment (San Fransisco vs. San Francisco) and disambiguation if the info entered has multiple possible matches.
We can also handle a very complex level of hierarchical landing pages with integrated search results that allows you to provide both an easy to navigate and search engine friendly portal.
Bookt is as far as we know, the only lodging technology company that can offer these types of features in a turnkey solution that still allows for a tremendous amount of flexibility and customization.
A lodging portal must allow for drill down. E.g. first show available hotels and their lowest rates and then more details and the available room categories. All this sophisticated functionality is built in to the platform.
Because of the data quality and standardization processes we perform on any data we import into the platform, you can use a wide verify of supplier sources and market it in a consistent way.
Automatic and Manual Inventory Management
In order to have an effective portal you need inventory. Bookt’s inventory partner extranet technology allows you to quickly set up private areas where your partners can manage rates and availability. They can also edit their reservations and unit descriptions.
An even more streamlined solution is to have us create automated links to your specific sources of inventory. That may be from Bookt’s customer base or from other technology vendors. Bookt's open architecture typically makes each link very easy to set up and manage.
