MINNEAPOLIS— SoftBrands Inc., a global supplier of enterprise application software, announced the endorsement of SoftBrands’ Medallion property management system (PMS) as a result of the successful certification of the Medallion Best Western Two-Way Interface. As an endorsed PMS, Medallion is approved by Best Western International for potential selection in more than 2,400 North American hotels. The Two-Way PMS to CRS interface will make it possible to book or update guest reservations through multiple channels including the Best Western central reservation office, online or through individual properties using real-time hotel availability data for Best Western member properties. Providing single point of entry for availability, rate and reservation requirement management for the PMS, the Best Western member properties will benefit from streamlined maintenance of the Best Western CRS and multiple distribution channels, according to SoftBrands. The Two-Way interface will provide a much improved flow of information enabling Best Western member properties to sell more effectively, offer better guest service and give guests greater control over their reservations, SoftBrands indicated.
