Booking Engine and image merchandising

With YieldPlanet’s Booking Engine you can add an indefinite number images of rooms and other services and amenities

YieldPlanet understands how important photography is for selling rooms. That is why we have developed a booking engine, which allows you to add an indefinite number images of rooms and other services and amenities. When clicking a showcased image, the same will be enlarged and the user will able to navigate through the available images in the slideshow. Make sure to add photos from different angles and to group them in a logical manner.

Remember, inspiring photos increase the likelihood of converting a looker into a booker.

XML connectivity with Szallas.hu!

YieldPlanet is constantly expanding its OTA partners portfolio, in the interests of increasing the sales potential of our clients, both future and current. We are happy to offer our latest XML partner connection: Szallas.hu.

XML connectivity gives hoteliers the ability to manage their prices and availabilities in the Szallas.hu system from the YieldPlanet Channel Manager in real time. Peter Sziebig (Expansion Manager, Nocleg.pl, which is the Polish sister site of Szallas.hu,) says: “Cooperation with YieldPlanet for us is a big and very important step. In the region, most of our properties are already ready for the booking process in real time, so the next step is to go for this type of hotel reservation in Central Europ“. For hoteliers it’s a good opportunity to increase their distribution in new attractive channels, but also to attract visitors from new markets such as Hungary, Croatia, Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania. In the words of Piotr Wierzbicki (CEO, YieldPlanet): “Cooperation with Szallas is very important to us because of the markets in which our new partner operates, and which in turn are strategic for us.”

Szallas Group started in 2007 as a start-up founded by a group of friends. It is currently considered a major player on the Hungarian hotel booking market, operating in 8 countries and 10 languages within Central Europe.

Hoteliers are now able to make use of our new StopSell parameter. The fearture applies closure to all freesale inventory.

StopSell means applying closure to all freesale inventory, thus making not only sales but also auto-replenish of rooms impossible.

Please proceed to the Prices, Allotment and Restrictions section in our Channel Manager to check it out.

Those OTAs which are coded for receiving StopSell will be sent appropriate separate parameters soon; those without StopSell capabilities will simply receive ‘0 rooms’ availability.

Feature update: we have smartened up the ‘Minimum price’ settings!

We are happy to inform you that we have smartened our approach to ‘minimum price’ settings within the Channel Manager. All users have the option to save an additional ‘minimum price’ setting at the room level.

The idea is simple – every room type by default can use a minimum price defined at the property level in ‘Settings’ or a ‘Minimum price’ defined directly at the room level.
Please note that along with an option to define the minimum price at the room level we also launched an absolute ‘Minimum price’ mechanism within the Channel Manager.
This means that any rate below the set ‘Minimum price’ can not be saved to ‘Prices, Allotment and Restrictions’ – no matter if it is a parent or child rate (recalculated according to formulas).
