here is a growing trend toward implementing cloud-based hotel PMS to drive efficiency and connect with customers. If you haven’t

considered it, you might want to put it on your list of things to do. With a host of software solutions out there, WebRezPro – a browser-based PMS created by World Web Technologies Inc. (WWT), is striving to position itself at the forefront in the industry. “WebRezPro is the future of hotel property management,” says company president Frank Verhagen. “As a cloud-native solution, properties of all types and sizes benefit from our system’s ease of use, unmatched accessibility and affordability.”

Innovative Advantages

“The WebRezPro system is reliable, secure and simple to use,” says Frank. WebRezPro runs via the Internet, so there is no need to install or maintain computer software. With WebRezPro, the big advantage for small properties is you do not need tech expertise to use it. There are no worries about CD-ROMs, backing up files or computer crashes.”

Users have anytime access to the system’s latest features, and updates are free and seamless. All you need is access to the Internet. WebRezPro is accessible from tablets and smartphones, for a streamlined user experience, allowing you to manage your property wherever and whenever you want. Bookings, check-ins and housekeeping reports are always at your fingertips.

Frank explains that another big WebRezPro advantage is it lets you easily manage your operations with all the functionality of software used by big hotels, for a reasonable cost. Unlike expensive on-premise hotel management software that can cost thousands of dollars to set-up and maintain, WebRezPro is a SaaS [Software as a Service] that costs $5/month/room (min. $60/month). A one-time set up fee of $499 covers system training and ongoing customer support.

“Our customers tell us our system is very intuitive,” says Frank. “Its capabilities allow you to deliver personalized attention to your guests. We understand the hospitality business. Excellence in customer service is the cornerstone of everything we do.” The typical timeframe for ‘going live’ with WebRezPro is one to three weeks. Five hours of initial training via telephone and Web conferencing is provided, as well as ongoing telephone and email customer support. Clients also have access to an easy-to-use online training manual and training videos.

Key features include an integrated online reservation system. There is no need to allocate separate room inventory for Web bookings. WebRezPro has two-way interfaces to Expedia, TripAdvisor, Booking.com and many others.

An additional advantage like automatic data backup ensures your reservation data is automatically stored in a secure computer facility with redundant Internet connections, 24-hour monitoring and diesel-powered electrical backup. This helps protect data from theft, physical damage and computer viruses and malware. Client data is instantly replicated to two separate servers as soon as it is received, and most data is stored indefinitely.

Powerful Functionality

As a pioneer in the Web PMS business, WebRezPro has developed all the tools needed to run independent properties via the Internet.

Electronic Signature Capture

This feature allows guests to sign check-in receipts or registration cards using an electronic signature capture device such as a tablet or smartphone. Front desk personnel only need to log into their WebRezPro system to access the feature.

Reserved Allocation

WebRezPro allows you to set aside blocks of rooms at special rates for affiliated tour operators, group bookings or special events. Release dates may also be setup so that your inventory is returned automatically if the allocation is not used.
