The Existing System
Most properties run a manual booking system and therefore requires customers to only book for rooms or any other service by walking to the receptionist or calling them on phone or using a third party option. Any enquiry to be made demanding feedback must usually be forwarded to the property in person. Sometimes management is given false reports concerning the work flow of the property and employees also give falsified pricing information to customers from time to time. Details of customers are hardly used in the traditional book keeping methods and that also, records are not properly kept; books used to keep records are disposed of when they get filled up.
This Online Central Reservation System was developed to replace the manual process of booking for a property (room or any other service). It will be used to manage the front-desk activities of a property, and able to accept reservations, to record information about the guests, to verify availability, and to allocate to the guests.
Smart eBookings will provide service to on-line customers, travel agents, and an administrator. On-line customers and travel agents can make searches, reservations and cancel an existing reservations through Internet.
