Many hoteliers nowadays are aware of the importance of setting room rates. Adjusting rates nowadays is not a matter of choice for the hotelier, but rather one of needs. Therefore, Pelican Room Reservation system designed a very user friendly yet sophisticated system that allows the hotelier to adjust room rates instantly.

In business, the ability to cope with sudden change or to seize the opportunity on a particular moment determines achievement. Hoteliers should notice and take immediate action towards events such as city festivals, exhibitions, and ceremonies. Likewise, when there is a sudden group cancellation, filling up the empty rooms could be easier when rates can be flexibly adjusted.

Rates can be adjusted as varied, when a hotelier wants to select types of rooms, occupancy, month, day, time and guest segmentation. To address these needs, Pelican system is replete with user-friendliest features, helping the hotelier to maximize its revenue.

Pelican system starts with rate templates, so that hoteliers may fill them in based on room type, occupancy and period. As many rate templates as necessary can be created, and then with one click assigned to an appropriate rate category / tier level.

Another powerful feature from Pelican system is called Priority rate. Priority rate is used whenever an outstanding situation occurs, i.e. sudden group booking cancellation. A hotelier could use priority rates to overwrite all rates applied to all (Rate category / Rate tier level).

Pelican system is dedicated to bringing into the limelight for the Hospitality industry the ways information technology can maximize a hotelier's time management. Features developed by Pelican system not only bring flexibility in managing rates, but also reservations management, room distribution, e-mail marketing, productivity report and many others.



About Pelican System
Pelican is an Internet-based reservation system designed to manage all types of bookings, whether made directly by guests or through travel agents and corporate clients.

For Internet users (direct guests) Pelican will provide instant confirmation of reservations made through the hotel web site, and will notify the hotel' reservation department though automatically generated e-mail messages.

For travel agents and corporate clients Pelican offers a feature called "Online Contracting," which eliminates the need for paper-based, fixed-term contracts, allowing the hotel to set and adjust rates and allotments instantly according to seasonal period, special events, or unexpected demand.

Pelican system provides a secure link to agents and clients, allowing hotels to distribute confidential trade rates to pre-authorized recipients, and to share allotments among many agents and clients on a "first-come-first-served" basis. Each agent or client accesses the system directly from the hotel's own web site with a unique login/password combination, allowing the hotel to assign each user to a specific group, and to determine the information and privileges each group will receive.

With Pelican system, the hotel has complete control at all times, and can easily monitor activity through instantly generated summaries and full reports.
