Can't be anything better than the Broadmoor Flash-based hotel reg system that was the poster child for RIAs.Just search for Broadmoor Reservation System and I'm sure you'll find it.

Of course it's not freebut it's GREAT!

Subject: hotel reservation systems

Anyone have an apps out there for making hotel reservations? I need
something that does it all pretty much. So people can see what rooms are
open, bed types, times, all that. A comany I am looking at wants to
totally upgrade there reservation system, and whatever it is needs a web
side for web reservations and must work with there internal system,
whatever it maybe. So if there is somethign like that for both the
internal hotel desktop app and web app that would be great. If not any
pointers you have would be good. I don't know where to start looking
really.

To be honest with you, this sounds like a quite complex application. When you say, must work with their internal system, this sounds, on the surface, like it could be quite complex. If by start looking you mean you're looking for a pre-built application, I'm sure there are a few on the DevExchange. Don't know if they're free, though.

Are you toying with the notion of writing as complete application on your own if you don't find one?

sown admin to block the dates and room type and all that fun stuff and the
other one is http://www.lodgingdepot.com http://www.lodgingdepot.com/

Thanks,
Ketan patel

RE: hotel reservation systems

2004-05-21 Thread Jeremy
Well my boss wants me to so we can sell it to one of his buddies that
owns a hotel. But I was thinking that would not be very efficient for
the hotel owner. I mean it does indeed sound complex, lots of time and
money. Which is what my boss want to charge, but it seems like bad
business to put 150,000 of time in something while there is a well
tested something out there for 30,000 or whatever. What are your
thoughts?

Re: hotel reservation systems

2004-05-21 Thread Bryan Stevenson
I think the big question will be whether or not the well established proprietary systems will be for sale.Why would they sell if they have a big advantage over other systems.

That said, yes I'd say that buying a system that does what you need for a lower price than develop;ing your own is probably a good idea PROVIDINGyou don't need to customize it in the future ;-)
