Stayntouch's cloud-based property-management system platform will now integrate with the central reservation system from European hotel distribution technology provider D-Edge. This partnership comes after the pilot program with the Crystal Hotel St. Moritz, a boutique property in the Swiss Alps, and will add to Stayntouch’s library of more than 1,100 integrations.
D-Edge delivers a suite of products designed to optimize a hotel’s online distribution strategy: from a CRS platform to revenue management data intelligence tools and digital media marketing, website development and an integrated central data management solution. Stayntouch’s integration with D-Edge will deliver information on inventory, availability, restrictions and rates, while facilitating reservations from various booking channels.
D-Edge CRS will provide Stayntouch customers with an integrated, ‘a la carte’ family of platforms:
- A connected channel manager;
- A central inventory that lets hotels manage all rates and inventory from a single location;
- A booking engine to maximize direct conversions;
- A payment automation system that automatically validates credit cards used in OTA bookings while immediately notifying the PMS.
“This new partnership with D-Edge deepens and accelerates our continuing expansion into the European market," said Stayntouch Chief Revenue Officer Michael Heflin in a statement. "Both companies embrace a philosophy of empowering hotels with solutions that are powerful, infinitely scalable, and easy-to-use. Our customers will benefit from a CRS solution that compliments Stayntouch’s emphasis on seamless interconnectivity and mobile accessibility.”
