osie Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi AllI have written a hotel booking system for our hotel which has saved us lots of time and accountancy fees over the few years in has been running. It allows for reservations and bookings, as well as purchases. It then generates the books(purchase orders, sales ledger, cash book & bank book) necessary for our accountant each month. It also has features I have added when ever I see a need (i.e. Facture generation, stock report, calendar, forecasting, statistics, bank book consolidation, and links with the reservations page on our web site).The concept is that the hotel puts in the bookings and purchases and it automates all the rest.I was wondering what bookings procedures others use, whether it be a piece of paper or a purchased product.The software I have written is not written in a software language I would sell and so my question has been put out there to see if there is demand for a web version which I would need to write.I was on holiday recently and all the hotels we stayed at seem to do a manual method with Excel which is quite crude.Thanksosie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 As a B&B we use Easybook which is also suitable for hotels and campsites. Been using it for 5 years now. It generates letters and bills in multiple languages. I think its very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osie Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I checked out their web site. It looks quite a nice simple package and is very cheap. I does not seem to include any book keeping stuff or the ordering side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 No it does not which is why it is cheap. It does however use an Access database which you can use to plug in to other accountancy packages using ODBC.Its not really meant for big hotels and does work well for B&B's and multiple Gites. I like it because you can send letters in guests native languages, the same with bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 HiAngelfish offers a wonderful system. We used it for a year but we are too small really for the system which does everything for you. Probably worth having a look.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Try out www.sirvoy.com, they offer a free trial, and it's cheap - €15/month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osie Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Sarvoy does take bookings but it seems that is all it does... handy but you get pretty much all that from the likes of booking.com etc.osie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 After 14 months you can own outright a booking system which is flexible and also produces documents/invoices etc in multi languages. I noticed that Sarvoy charge also to link in PayPal which quite frankly is a bit of cheek as you are already paying commission on payments via PayPal.
