ANAHEIM, Calif., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SoftBrands, Inc. (NYSE
Amex: SBN), a global supplier of enterprise application software, announced
the launch of a custom developed integration platform for the company's
property management systems and EZYield's full suite of automated distribution
and reservation solutions.
"We continue to add value for our global customers by integrating our
technology solutions to industry leading partners that help our customers
streamline operations and improve efficiencies," said Jo Masters, senior vice
president and general manager, SoftBrands Hospitality.
While many current SoftBrands clients already use EZYield.com for channel
management distribution, the new integrated platform provides hoteliers with
the ability to automate and create technological efficiencies that were not
previously available. The integrated software suite consists of three
additional products: RoomRez, a unique reservations technology for rates and
inventory restrictions that is tied directly to a company's or property's
website; GDSConnect, a two-way link from the PMS to the global distribution
systems (GDS); and EZYield.com, the original channel management software with
the industry's largest number of connections to OTAs and third-party
reservation services.
"Property management systems are the best place to centralize and streamline
operations because of the volume of information that can be fed into, and
derived from a single database," said Ed St. Onge, president of EZYield.com.
"With this partnership, we now have the ability to pull rate and inventory
settings directly from the SoftBrands PMS to push to all of our OTA and
traditional wholesalers, which currently include 430 sites. We can also push
reservations from any of our travel partners compatible with our rez-delivery
product back to the PMS. Our WBE and GDS can push and pull ARI and bookings
seamlessly, so it is a very powerful and efficient operation."
