Best Western International (BWI) announced today that it is pleased to recognize HSS as an Endorsed Vendor for their new Central Reservation System Two-Way Interface. HSS's Property Management Software, "FrontClerk" was endorsed by BWI after being certified by BWI's quality control lab earlier this year. HSS has successfully installed test sites throughout the U.S. and passed final endorsement. For many years, HSS has provided a one-way reservation interface for many Best Western hotels. Jonathan Cooley, HSS CEO, was quoted, "Best Western has taken a bold step forward in the aggressively competitive reservation and internet space, and HSS is pleased to take this next step in technology with them. Our team leaders, Jerry Homer and Alan McNamee, worked closely with BWI throughout development, testing and implementation. Together, they did a great job bringing this to a smooth conclusion."
The new HSS Two-Way Reservation Interface provides "last room availability" and automatic, real-time rate and inventory updates based on Open Travel Alliance standards. Central Reservation Agents and the BWI website will always have current room and rate information for hotels using the Two-Way Interface so hotels never miss an opportunity to sell a room.
"HSS has developed several reservation system interfaces in the past. Partnering with Best Western for a seamless CRS interface is an especially exciting development for hoteliers' in the world's largest hotel chain. This should definitely enhance both the hotel's and BWI's occupancy, RevPar and attractiveness as a brand, while reducing the hotel's work load," said HSS Executive Vice President, Ken Fuller.

It provides rich functionality for small to large hotels with the proven performance and a price to value that makes it attractive to hoteliers.
