Online booking site for a major hotel group

The hotel group wanted a tool which could filter availability in real-time so users could quickly book available rooms at all its hotels from any range or brand.

The WebBookingEngine (WBE) allows real-time group hotel room searches thanks to its middleware and different features to be managed.

The responses returned by the OWS (OPERA Web Suite) are processed and analysed by the middleware. Before the results are shown to users, they are filtered by business rules and/or the SharePoint repository. Extra packages (options) can be offered to clients (breakfast, bottle of champagne, etc.).

Once the results are displayed, users can book one or more rooms. Room bookings are usually subject to a bank guarantee (card number). The OPERA setup (configuration) decides the guarantee type depending on rates.

Une fois la réservation créée, celle-ci peut être annulée en fonction des règles d’annulation. Cette réservation va être utilisée par l’hôtel pour la facturation jusqu’au chekcout du client.
