Hotel Central Reservation System – BookingXML
A central reservation system or CRS is a platform used in the hotel industry to centralize reservations, distribution, charges and listings in real time. BookingXML is a key tool in order to streamline the operational processes behind running a hotel because it joints and centralizes information from the property management system, several distribution channels, and call centres all in one platform.
In this article, we’ll see more in detail about what a CRS is, what it’s used for and how it works. Understanding how this system works is key to optimizing your distribution strategy and increasing the revenue available per room and taking the human error factor out of the equation.
What is a hotel CRS?
A Central Reservation System, or CRS, is a technology that lies at the heart of a hotel’s functions. It’s a computerized system that contains the hotel’s accessibility, rates, and inventory (ARI) data and helps handle online and offline bookings. With the support of the channel manager that we discuss below, it distributes the hotel information to different sales channels — such as GDSs, OTAs, independent travel agents, and its own website, — synchronizes reservations, and processes transactions.
Implementing a CRS expansion overall efficiency due to the automation of numerous processes, i.e., immediately updating the hotel’s ARI across all distribution channels or sending confirmation emails. Obviously, that speeds up performance, minimizes errors caused by manual operation, and decrease the cost of human labour. Also, the CRS booking capabilities offer an easy way for clients to handle their own reservations which increases their satisfaction and loyalty.
