Agilysys and B4Checkin Partner to Offer Web Booking Engine
Agilysys, Inc. and B4Checkin, Inc., a developer and provider of cloud-based hospitality software solutions, have announced a partnership agreement whereby Agilysys will offer the B4Checkin booking engine to its Visual One™ PMS customers.
The B4Checkin booking engine is a highly interactive online booking solution that drives conversions and provides superior property merchandising. The solution has certified two-way interfaces with the Visual One PMS, which means crucial information — such as room rates, inventory availability and guest profile data — is automatically exchanged in real time between the two solutions, speeding confirmation times and ensuring that guests have an accurate view of booking options. Designed specifically for independent hotels, the solution is fully customizable to match the look and feel of a property's website, so that a consistent brand image is presented to potential guests. Easy-to-navigate screens and availability calendars enable users to view room types and rates, and guests have the option of purchasing pre-built packages or selecting specific components to create dynamic packages.
The B4Checkin booking engine also upsells users to better room types and displays value-added items that enhance the guest experience, such as wine, flowers and local attractions. Personalized email communications with guests, both pre- and post-stay, encourage loyalty and repeat visits. Add-on modules allow for group deposits, thereby reducing operator expense. And, unlike most booking engine vendors, which typically require hotels to pay on a per-reservation commission basis, B4Checkin features an affordable flat monthly subscription model.
