Hotel technology provider Conferma is pushing a significant upgrade to its Hotel Booker system allowing multi-traveller bookings and better trip management tools.
The system is aimed squarely at travel management companies and corporate travel managers and follows recent additions to its model to include flights, car hire and rail.
Conferma says the upgraded portal, which allows TMCs to manage bookings through a single system, will include 150,000 hotels around the world as well as - for the first time - 70,000 images of properties.
The system will also allow connections and management of other bookings made through a GDS.
Although much of the new system is replicated elsewhere on other platforms, Conferma is a good example of a well-establishedtravel technology firm forced to adapt its systems and strategy to keep up with other providers.
