How Secure Is Your Online Booking System?

Mitchel Wallenhoffer • Apr 26, 2024

Having guests book their stays online is now the most popular and convenient way to receive and manage bookings.

However, as with everything online, the concern is raised as to how secure your online booking system is? Here are some non-negotiables:


DOES IT LOOK SECURE?


Most guests are comfortable booking and paying for products and services online, but if something doesn't "look" right, they'll be less confident booking with you.


Does the online booking process look like it's a part of your website, or something completely different?


Do the online booking interfaces look new, up-to-date and well maintained, or do they appear like a relic from 2007?

THE PAYMENT GATEWAY


How do you accept credit card payments online?


The most secure way is by integrating a payment gateway into your online booking interface, as provided by a reputable financial insitution. The banking and financial industry requires stringent security measures for online payment processors, referred to as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Your payment gateway must be PCI DSS compliant and adhere to the latest standards to ensure the transaction is safe and secure.


HOW SECURE IS YOUR DATA?


Who hosts your data? For that matter, do you have full access and control over your data?


RezExpert utilises AWS cloud security, which is encrypted at rest, to keep client's data safe and secure.  AWS is designed to be the most secure global cloud infrastructure, backed by a level of investment in security that gives you and your guests peace of mind.


IS IT HACKABLE?


RezExpert is utilised globally by government organisations and large corporate networks, all of which require the highest level of security available on the market.


RezExpert engages an independent firm to conduct penetration testing and security advice on our booking platform. Our developers and management are constantly updating RezExpert's security capabilities and features to keep ahead of industry standards.

In the competitive world of hospitality and property management, maximizing occupancy and, in turn, revenue is a top priority. Today's travelers demand seamless experiences, and property managers require efficient, user-friendly tools to meet these expectations. Enter RezExpert’s cutting-edge online booking and reservation management system, complete with an impressive auto-optimisation feature that promises not just to meet, but exceed, these industry demands. Unlocking the Power of Auto-Optimisation For the uninitiated, auto-optimisation may sound like a complex algorithm. In reality, it's a sophisticated but user-friendly feature that automatically enhances the efficiency of the booking grid. It works diligently in the background, ensuring that your property’s spaces, whether they’re hotel rooms, campground spots, or rental units, are filled optimally. Here's the magic of it: the system assigns individual units or sites to guests upon their arrival. This dynamic assignment, steered by advanced algorithms, ensures optimal usage of available inventory, minimizing gaps and maximising occupancy. Impressive Results Right Out of the Gate It's not just about advanced technology; it's about measurable outcomes. With RezExpert’s auto-optimisation, clients have witnessed a staggering increase of over 12% in occupancy within just the first month of implementation. When translated to revenue, this uptick can be the differentiator between an average fiscal year and an outstanding one. Imagine this: if a property with 100 units boosts its occupancy rate by 12%, that's an additional 12 units filled every night. For properties with premium pricing, this increase is tantamount to significant extra revenue month after month. Beyond Revenue: Streamlined Management and Enhanced Guest Experience The benefits of RezExpert’s auto-optimisation feature aren’t confined to the balance sheet. By ensuring optimal occupancy and efficient inventory use, property managers can offer a more streamlined guest experience. No longer are guests shuffled around last-minute or given suboptimal placements due to manual oversight. Instead, each guest is assigned the best possible unit, enhancing their overall experience and satisfaction. A satisfied guest isn’t just a one-time revenue entry; they're potential repeat customers and enthusiastic brand ambassadors who can drive referrals and positive reviews. In the digital age, where online reviews significantly influence booking decisions, ensuring every guest has a standout experience is invaluable. Conclusion: An Investment in the Future Embracing innovative solutions like RezExpert’s online booking and reservation management system is more than an operational decision; it's an investment in the future. With features like auto-optimisation at the helm, property managers are equipped to navigate the dynamic and demanding landscape of the hospitality industry. If you're in the hospitality sector and looking for a robust solution to raise your revenue, give your guests an unmatched experience, and streamline your operations, RezExpert’s system is a worthy contender. With tangible results in just a month, the ROI is not just promising; it's proven. In the ever-evolving world of property management, standing still is not an option. With tools like RezExpert by your side, you're not just moving; you're soaring.
