Edelweiss Hotel  a leading 5-star hotel in Argentina has recently embarked upon collaboration with Pelican's "Hotel Distribution System", aimed at enhancing its travel agents' productivity.

Edelweiss deals with numbers of travel agents many of whom require an advanced system for successful operation and they have thus chosen Pelican system.  Pelican Hotel Distribution system caters to specific needs. Rather than lengthening the distribution chain, with Pelican system travel agents can now have direct access to a hotel's room rates and allotments, when a hotel decides to grant a travel agent access and a password.

Mrs Martha Velez, Sales Manager of Edelweiss Hotel, states "Pelican system definitely facilitates our communications with agents. Not only can a reservation be arranged comprehensively, and with instant confirmation, but the agent can also save a lot of our time as rates and allotments are assigned in advance." 

The switch from a manual paper contacting protocol to online contracting brings significant revenue enhancement to a hotel. First, a hotel can be flexible in setting its room rates and allotments, whereas a travel agent can view rates, make reservations and confirm immediately. All reservations are treated on a "first come – first served" basis in this system, unlike in an inflexible paper contract. 

Secondly, the online reservation system is a hotel's "reservation office", open 24/7. Travel agents from anywhere around the world can contact a hotel and make reservations regardless of any time difference. This will eliminate revenue losses due to operational time limits.

Pelican system also provides report features, which can assist a hotel in managing its rates and allotment. Even though a hotel may be dealing with numerous travel agents, monitoring and evaluating them will not come as any problem, with features such as a productivity report, insufficient inventory report, or payment facility. 

Mrs Martha Velez, Sales Manager of Edelweiss Hotel affirmed, "The system not only favors our hotel in raising revenue, but also pleases travel agents.

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.
