Hotel Reservation Software HotRez 1.02
Room Booking Software - Hotel Software

HotRez 1.02 is now fully integrated in DiveShopManager 2.5, the award winning dive resort software. We could see DiveShopManager as the extended version of HotRez, the hotel reservation software, that has literally been covered in awards since it's first release two years ago. DiveShopManager can handle many more tasks than HotRez. And some of the features that have been built into DSM 2.5 now will also soon find their way in the new HotRez 1.5 which we will see in the beginning of 2010. [...]

Obviously on the plus side of a free hotel reservation software is that it is FREE! That means that even the smallest resort can work with a software today. Working with a hotel software will make your life easier in the long-run, even though you will have to work a few hours more in the beginning, until you fully understand how the software works.

The minus side of a free hotel software is that nothing really comes for free! There is always a hidden price tag on such things as free software. In case of software, it is all to easy to add a little spyware to a software that collects valuable customer data. Data theft becomes even easier if the hotel reservation system works online. A data collecting hotel software, that is provided for free, looks suspicious to me... to say the least.

HotRez has been awarded once again. To the many awards the hotel reservation software HotRez, has gathered during the past years, we can proudly add a new trophy today. If you are running a small or medium hotel or resort, this reservation software system might just be the right solution for you. Try HotRe for free. It's easy to use and you will have a great overview of your hotel reservations.

Lately we get a lot of support e-mails asking why this and that doesn't work in HotRez. In almost all cases the answer is the same: Wrong Setup! To get a hotel software working for your hotel, you will need to follow the setup steps beyond the automatic installation of the software. Please read below how to setup your hotel reservation system the way it will work for any hotel or resort.

A Property Management System (PMS) is a software application that is designed and can be implemented to meet the varied requirements of any size hotel or hotel group. A PMS should provide all of the tools that hotel staff need to do their day-to-day jobs - such as managing room inventory, handling reservations, checking guests in, assigning rooms, accommodating in-house guest needs, checking guest out, handling all billing and accounting requirements, reporting and marketing. The application should be configurable to each property's specific requirement and can be configured to operate either as a single-property or in a multi-property configuration, whereby all properties within a group share a single database.

Multi-Property functionality can help hotel chains dramatically reduce hardware and software investments, and labour expenses, by running multiple properties off of a single database / hardware platform. Centralised hardware and software can also make system support and upgrades easier as all hardware and software is contained to one central location. Hotels may also reduce labour costs by sharing common functions between properties such as reservations, accounting, sales and PBX.
