Accommodation - Reservation - Booking Systems

The Zeald e-commerce system is not an accommodation, reservation, bookings or property management system.  If you offer the facility for website users to book accommodation, or make reservations, then there are a number of areas in which the Zeald e-commerce system would need to be adapted:

• Booking on behalf of others.  Typically one person makes the booking, but may also book also for other people (guests)
• The graphical display of resource availability and rates, e.g. rooms available and seasonal rates.
• E-confirmation.  Sending an electronic booking confirmation to the customer upon booking
• Property / Resource Management.  The facility to manage the various resources that can be booked.
• Reservation Management.  Tracking, Managing and reporting on the bookings made, including the facility to handle reservation cancellations and transfers.

 

Zeald Solution:

Zeald does not offer reservation management software.  We can provide a link or in some cases a 'widget' on your website that connects to the Reservation Management web portal of your choice.  Speak with our support team or your e-business consultant for more information.
You can use a third party accommodation software provider (see below) and either:

• Link a button or text on your website to the accommodation provider's website 
• OR iFrame the accommodation provider's page onto a page within your website

 

Third Party Solutions:

There are a number of online reservation systems available.  Depending on your industry you may find there is a reservation system tailored to your needs. For example bookabach.co.nz offers a system specifically designed for individuals offering holiday accommodation.  In New Zealand, major software providers in this reservations space include www.bookit.co.nz.  For bookings systems http://www.thebookingbutton.com/ and www.ezybook.co.nz offer online appointment booking software.

Note that data captured by a third party solution will not integrate in any way with your Zeald website - data will exist in a separate database which will need to be managed independently from your Zeald website.  Note that Zeald does not support third party products, contact the third party software provider for support.
