bookatonce by protel: Expanding horizons

As bookatonce, the web-based PMS innovation by German protel hotelsoftware GmbH, is rapidly conquering new markets, interested businesses now get the unique opportunity to join in an affiliate program. To satisfy the growing international demand bookatonce has been facing since the very beginning of its commercial launch, now sales, distribution and technology partnerships are ready to be established.

Even though bookatonce was first marketed in Germany only, just within a few months it gained more than a thousand customers in 58 countries worldwide - with an upward trend. The foundation for successful international marketing has already been laid. bookatonce is available in several languages: German, English and Spanish, and a French and Dutch bookatonce version are planned. Due to the remarkably high international distribution rate, bookatonce is now, a year after its introduction, focusing on expanding marketing strategies for further growth of its international business.

The advantages of bookatonce are obvious: As an SaaS (Software as a Service) solution it is easy to use, user-oriented and requires minimal investment costs, as you lease applications instead of purchasing licences. At the same time, bookatonce demands low technical requirements: Nothing but an internet-ready PC or MAC is needed as bookatonce offers data storage on external servers. This means low initial investment costs, low maintenance, high data security and a minimum of operating costs for the user, which makes bookatonce the ideal choice also for smaller properties like B&Bs, motels etc. bookatonce offers perfectly tailored solutions for those wanting to profit from a professional property management system at a reasonable price. Besides the free basic version, bookatonce has a modular build-up with reasonable fixed charges and a flexible and fair pricing structure.

More than 15 years of background knowledge and essential experience in successfully developing and marketing hotel software have made protel one of the most prominent companies in the industry. With bookatonce, protel has now transferred this knowledge onto a whole new technological basis. Last but not least, a ground-breaking transparent customer relationship management - allowing direct communication and even proposing and discussing new product features with the bookatonce development division publicly - is just another example of user-orientation and customer focus at the highest level. This is exactly what makes bookatonce one of the most promising innovations playing to worldwide customers` demands and enriching international hotel software markets.
