Hotel Rate Collection and Publishing Workflow
Business challenge
A hotel organization needed a controlled workflow for collecting complex room-rate information and passing validated data into its hotel-content operation.
What SoloSoft delivered
SoloSoft built the guided rate-collection experience around dependent business steps, helping users complete and publish rate information consistently. The documented workflow and product detail remain below.
Documented project detail
Original project record
Intercontinental Hotels Group is the biggest hotel chain by number of rooms, with 620,000 rooms in over 100 countries around the world. It built and manages a diverse portfolio of brands across multiple economic segments, including Intercontinental Hotels and Resorts, Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, Holiday Inn, and Holiday Inn Express.
Business Case
The Rate Collection Management (RCM) is envisioned as a tool for collecting complex set of data (rates) for hotel rooms and passing it to the Hotel Content Management system.
Rate Collection Solution
SoloSoft has developed flex-based application integrated with existing Hotel Management tools; it works with XML input and creates XML output.
RCM is a wizard-like application which consists of 9 screens, each step is dependent on the inputs in the preceding steps. A user would need to pass through all the steps to complete the data collection.
