– Timeshare software developer, SPI Software, announced today their Guest-Connect web application has been enhanced with new capability including support for promotional code-based reservations, web-based secure payment processing and a travel protection revenue opportunity.  Guest-Connect delivers 24/7 access, resulting is a significant revenue opportunity by directly leveraging available room inventory to outside guests.

SPI Software’s “Guest-Connect” application provides a ready-to-go, web-based resort room sales portal.  When implemented, Guest-Connect will eliminate the costly middleman OTA and GDS booking fees that have a direct bottom line impact.  The Guest-Connect portal functions as a web services extension of SPI Software’s “Orange System” platform.  Reservations information entered on the web is immediately and securely reflected in the SPI Orange System’s database – as if it were entered by your staff.  Guest Connect provides the following capabilities:

  • Booking Engine: On-line booking capability that is fully integrated with the SPI-Orange Platform.
  • Resort Room Content: Images, descriptions, reviews, directions, etc.
  • Availability: Real-time availability assessment for room bookings.
  • Dynamic Rate & Yield Management: Adjust rates and accept promo codes
  • Shift4 i4Go® option: Provides PCI compliant security and protection for web-based e-Commerce environments.
  • VacationGuard® option: Market self-service travel-protection products directly to guests at the time of booking

“While Guest-Connect is not intended to completely replace your OTA and GDS channel outreach completely, it will provide a needed boost to resorts with a net bookings revenue increase. With channel commissions on the rise, Guest-Connect can be a game changer” says George Stemper, CEO for SPI.

SPI is currently offering Guest-Connect demos. To see the latest evolution in web-based owner servicing, contact SPI at sales@spiinc.com
