RoomKeyPMS Booking Engine, or eRes, lets hotel guests reserve rooms online through a hotel's website. It supports daily, weekly and monthly rates, membership and corporate rates, group blocks, packages, add-ons, promotions and free-night offers. Hotels can link to eRes or add a Book Now or Reservations button, and RoomKeyPMS can apply brand colors, fonts, banners and logos during onboarding. The maker describes the engine as mobile-ready, with reservations passing instantly into the PMS. It says reservations update the PMS in real time and inventory adjusts across other channels to help avoid overbooking. Listed tools include OTA price comparison, dynamic packaging, language translation, recovery messages, alternative offers, locked deals, flexible-date calendars and layout choices. Integrations include Booking.com, Expedia, Guestfolio, Duetto, IDeaS RMS, SiteMinder, SynXis, TravelClick/iHotelier and Vertical Booking. The web product requires RoomKeyPMS; it is included in onboarding for new clients. Pricing is on request, including for purchase or customization after go-live.
