It's About Conversion!

The World's Leading Hotel Booking Engine

There are lots of booking engines on the market. They can all be used to book to some extent or another. Some are even free! So if you are looking for the cheapest booking solution, take our advice: do a Google search for "free hotel booking engine" and go get one.

But effectiveness is a completely different issue. Being able to take bookings is not the same as ensuring people book. The capability for strong and consistent conversion of lookers to bookers is critical. That's where Bookassist, the World's Leading Booking Engine Technology Provider, delivers: by analyzing customer patterns, building technology to match and by providing professional account management to continually up the performance of your online business.

FACT: If you do nothing else but replace your current booking technology with our customer-centric booking system, you will see conversion grow.

We've proven this regularly, and you can read more in our customer testimonials. If you work closely with our account managers who ensure that your online offering is specifically targeted, then we can drive your conversion even more. And with our Traffic Builder online marketing service, we'll use Google Analytics and our powerful Ecommerce integration in a completely transparent way so you can check performance of your advertising spend for yourself. We have nothing to hide.

Get Social - It's All About The Customer!

We all know customer-generated content or customer-generated media are a significant factor in choosing where to stay. But reviews are also critical intelligence for you in helping you understand your customers' needs and views. What they think is the only thing that matters! You need to capitalise on what they view as your strengths and eliminate what they view as your problems. With Bookassist Booking Engine you can

Perfect for Hotel Groups

Bookassist Booking Engine and related technology works perfectly for the individual hotel. But the system can also be used for multiple hotels in a group. The advantage for groups is the additional layer of access for the customer that we can provide online.

Using our hotel group technology on your website(s) means that online customers can view all hotels on a single page for easy comparison. They can search for availability and rates across an entire group with ease, or they can search within a specific geographical area only for example. They can search directly from a map view that shows real live availability. And customers on a particular hotel website can be automatically recommended other hotels in the group if there is an availability problem.

Our loyalty and corporate systems can also be used across the entire hotel group. And our mobile solution caters for groups as easily as it caters for individual hotels.

Your hotel. To go.

People are booking on the go. It is the fastest growing sector of online booking. You need a location-aware mobile site or app that offers languages, reviews, mapping and routing, social media, photos and video, and of course a fully functional booking engine.
