bookatonce is certified partner of cultuzz. So the cultuzz channel manager CultSwitch is available for bookatonce users. The interface retrieves the current availability of hotels and distributes this information to distributors and, simultaneously, collects and transmits back all booking data from the Distributors to bookatonce: one solution for all distribution channels.
The modular structure of bookatonce offers tailor made solutions for the complete range of accommodation facilities such as small hotels, Inn's, Bed & Breakfasts or any kind of apartment rentals. The functional modules range from room and guest management to invoicing and can be purchased for a small fee in addition to the free and unlimited basic version. One major concern of the web-based solution is the topic of online booking via the Internet: It is irrelevant whether bookings are made through the own hotel website or via other connected 3rd party distribution channels, as i.e. connected via the bookatonce interface to Cultuzz.
