Charts Portal interfaces with internet reservation systems

Some of the Charts Portal interfaces

You no doubt know that bookings on 'last minute' internet sites such as Lastminute.com, Wotif.com, Needitnow.com, RatesToGo.com, Hostelworld.com, and Quickbeds.com are becoming hugely popular. Charts PMS now interfaces to these, using our powerful Charts Portal technology. Our clients love the ease with which they can subscribe to a large number of portals without the struggle of maintaining them. And they love the increases in revenue that result! We're adding to the number of portal interfaces all the time. Just ask us!

How does Charts Portal work?

  • The portal interface works in a similar way to the current Charts Web interface.
  • It allows the hotel to nominate which portals it has subscribed to, and put in the user name and password for each portal.
  • Then an allotment can be set up for either each portal or for all portals combined, or you can simply (as with the Charts Web interface) publish all available rooms at predefined rates.
  • Charts Portal will automatically update all the portals with the hotel's availability. Charts Portal will pull down any reservations which have been received and put them straight into Charts.
  • Currently we are interfacing in real time with Wotif.com, RatesToGo.com, Quickbeds.com, NeedItNow.com, LastMinute.com, HostelWorld.com, Hostelbookers.com, Check-in.com.au, Standbyrates.com.au, ReadyRooms.com.au, Gogogo.com.au, Howzat.com, Not1Night.com.au, Ezibed.com, BookPayStay.com, TheOaksGroup.com.au, Travelocity.com, Hotelclub.com, Tastemptations.com.au (IMS), Mybookings.com.au, Roamfree.com, Expedia.com.au, Stay247.com – and the number is growing all the time.
