Our second version of Lodging Link is live and handling all the hotel reservations for Youth 2007 SPLAT Convention (SPLAT = Seek, Pray, Learn, Act and Teach) in Greensboro, NC. Anyone can reserve rooms for this event online, selecting from thousands of rooms offered by multiple hotels.

This software was designed for Convention and Visitors Bureaus. Accomodating the lodging for a convention is time consuming and error-prone. Lodging  link automates much of the work, benefiting both the guest and adminstrators. With version 2.0, Administrators can allow Guests to reserve rooms in blocks (configurable).

Administrators can take phoned-in reservations. Usually Administrators know a large reservation is going to be phoned in from a particular group. To ensure the rooms will be available, the administrator can designate blocks of rooms/dates as unpublished. This hides the block of rooms from public view and access.
