Online Availability - Make your life easy

One of the biggest issue accommodation providers and other tourism providers face is ensuring that their rates are up to date on all websites and availability is up to date.

The simple solution is to use an online booking system on your website that it is part of the Open Distribution Network (ODN).

Why is this important you ask?

The concept behind ODN is one of shared inventory i.e. you update inventory and rates in one place and all your suppliers access this shared inventory.

This means instead of updating availability rates for example:

• via email to your agents who might sell one or two rooms a year
• blocking out rooms for resellers who may not sell the rooms
• updating wotif.com
• updating hotelclub
• updating worldchoice travel
• updating your own website
• updating your manual book

You can update all rates and availability in one place.

Rainbow Tourism uses an ODN software called Seekom. We strongly recommend this product as it has all the above functionality and the New Zealand developers of this product have worked hard to intergrate this product with other systems.

Seekom also has a number of wholesalers and agents which you can automatically access with minimum of fuss.

Examples are:

• Jason's Travel Media
  
• Tourism Distribution Systems
• and the list goes on.

What Seekom does is operate a good Open Distribution Network online booking system and provide it at a very competitive rate. So what are you waiting for - compare systems today and then compare prices and you might be surprised. Seekom is not only full of features but very cost effective.
