On 7th May of this year, the first of Availpro's hotel clients were able to take advantage of the new connectivity between Availpro and HRS, the European leader in online hotel bookings. Since then, over 150 new hotels have started using the Availpro extranet every day to update their rates on HRS in addition to their other distribution sites.
HRS, a diversified clientele to help optimise occupation all year round
For hotels, being connected with HRS means not only taking advantage of a nationwide clientele, but also having a real window onto the international market, with the aim of developing business revenues...
Hotels present on HRS.com have access to:
- Business customers for weekday stays. HRS.com has contacts with over 20,000 businesses in countries around the world.
- Leisure customers, especially at weekends, encouraged by the impartiality of HRS.com, the instinctive navigation of the site, the numerous exclusive rates offered by HRS.com and of course the range of hotels on offer.
With this connectivity, hotel owners benefit from simplified management and can now manage HRS directly from their Availpro planning.
"This partnership with Availpro is a key part of our strategy for developing our selection of hotels and offering our clients the best possible properties and rates," says Olivier Mouchet, France Business Manager for HRS.
The Availpro directory, a collaborative marketplace at the service of hotel owners
Via Availpro, hotel owners get unlimited free access to the Availpro directory in order to optimise their distribution network, including in particular all of Availpro's distribution partners. Accessing the directory is done directly from the Availpro extranet, allowing complementary businesses in the sector to contact each other.
Sébastien Boher, CEO of Availpro, and fervent supporter of this marketplace, had this to say about this function, for which no competitor has an equivalent: "Each new partner - such as HRS in this case, or a web agency, or a hotel application - is highlighted as soon as it registers on the extranet. This means that hotel owners are notified of the existence of the partnership and can contact the companies via their Availpro interface. Similarly, Availpro partners (distributors, hotel applications, web agencies...) can offer their services to hotels using Availpro. This service represents important added value and will continue to grow in the next few months, as there is an enormous amount of interest from hotels."
