Global brands and local hotel owners are facing fierce competition in the internet era. Over decades, hotels need to manage their own booking reservations from many channels and spend long hours sorting out the room availability and customer schedules. OwlTing, a Taiwanese technology company focusing on blockchain & e-commerce, is launching “OwlNest Blockchain Hotel Management Service,” an integrated lodging management platform to help hotels worldwide improve brand awareness and customer satisfaction. Global Tourism Continues to Grow and Challenge the Hotel Booking Systems Integrated Hotel Management System built on OwlNest Blockchain Service OwlNest is the world’s first all-in-one Ethereum-based hotel management service with Booking Engine and Property Management System(PMS). Smart contracts in Ethereum allow flexible inventory management and efficient booking transactions, with enhanced customer privacy and transaction security, thanks to blockchain. Staffing costs can be greatly reduced by integrating hotel management systems (Booking Engine, PMS and Channel Manager) on a shared ledger, while consolidating orders from official hotel portals, OTAs or other distribution channels. OwlNest blockchain services also allow hotels to design customized pricing packages, identify returning customers, collect customer preferences and automatically adjust promotion campaigns by seasonality and customer behavior more easily. OwlNest’s scalable design also enables hotels to earn more revenue by adding on-premise services, local experiences and other travel partners to an integrated dashboard, providing an one-stop shopping experience on their own portals (Booking Engine). OwlNest also supports multiple payment gateways such as credit card, PayPal, WeChat, Alipay, Apple Pay, Bitcoin and other blockchain-based payment services in the future. Hotels and hoteliers will be able to take full advantage of the online PMS and Booking Engine just like the Amazon Web Services (AWS) for small businesses, anytime, anywhere.
