4,700 Hotel Properties Select Central Reservation System
More than 4,700 hotel properties will implement Pegasus' next-generation central reservations system, RezView. Recent implementations were completed by Hospitality International Inc., Gaylord Entertainment and Great Hotels Organisation.
RezView NG offers hotels an enterprise solution that provides chains, representation companies and independent hotels with a one-stop shop for easy management of room and non-room item inventory, status, restrictions, pricing and policies. Currently Pegasus is upgrading its hotel customers receiving Unirez reservation services via the HotelFactory platform to RezView NG.
RezView NG also offers dynamic packaging, universal integration with external applications and operation in multiple languages. For Chris Guimbellot, manager of information technology for the Georgia-based Hospitality International, these features were attractive given their direct revenue benefit to the company's 262 hotel franchises that have upgraded to RezView NG, including select Scottish Inns, Red Carpet Inn, Master Host Inns, Passport Inn and Downtowner Inns.
"The transition to RezView NG will empower our franchisees to capitalize on more intuitive rate and availability structures. Also, the Concierge feature allows for up-selling and dynamic packaging from within the booking engine, which I believe will be reflected directly in the bottom lines of our properties," says Guimbellot.
RezView NG was developed based on the stability of Pegasus' existing CRS platform, RezView classic, which in 2007 boasted 99.997 percent availability for the year, and response times averaging under a tenth of a second. Additionally, the new CRS platform incorporates software, technology and expertise Pegasus secured through its 2007 acquisition of GuestClick, which have empowered RezView NG to process transactions for thousands of hotels simultaneously, while consistently maintaining sub-second response times.
