Central Reservation System

Online Reservation system Development Company

CRS with GDS

Initially CRS – central reservation system was only limited to airlines and was called as airline reservation system (ARS) which used to act as an inventory management system containing all flights, their available seats, airline schedules, fare tariffs, passenger reservations and ticket records. Thus a computer reservation system in airline is an interface with the global distribution system (GDS system) to support online travel agencies and other customers to book flight tickets and other associated services through one single system.

CRS with IDS

Later central reservation system (CRS) got associated with hotel distribution system (IDS) or hotel CRS to manage hotel profile, rooms rates, room type, room availability, other information, descriptions, amenities, pictures, videos, local attractions, rate and conditions, administration, reporting  etc. It helped the hotel managers to manage most of their sales online through CRS and distribution system.

Apart from the above information a CRS also contains

•        registrations, validations and profiling

•        search and sort.

•        reservation details.

•        agents and customer profiles.

•        rate and inventory control

•        booking and payment

•        reporting (agent wise report, daily reports/monthly report)

•        administration (user management, agent control master, back-end profile

The inventories in CRS are also controlled by different XML web services and Hotel GDS. This makes agents, corporate and other customers to access large inventories of hotels in real time.

Integrating XMLs from different hotel suppliers such as GTA travel, Kuoni, Hotelbeds, Tourico, DOTW, Travco, Special Tours, HotelsPro, Path Finder and Versys allows real time access to the inventories of hotels and associated amenities across the world. One can integrate one or more XMLs based upon his necessity and priority.
