US: Hotel connectivity specialist eRevMax has completed integration with BridgeStreet Global Hospitality.
BridgeStreet will use eRevMax distribution solutions RateTiger and RTConnect to make Availability, Rate and Inventory (ARI) updates to its channel in real-time.
BridgeStreet partner properties will also benefit from eRevMax’s reservation delivery service, which facilitates automatic transfer of reservations booked at the channel directly to the hotel systems (CRS/PMS).
“Consumers and guests shape technology. At BridgeStreet Global Hospitality, it is our job to try and keep up with their needs by directly influencing guests and making it easy for travel managers. Our partnership with eRevMax will bring this vast and growing portfolio of apartments, homes, extended stay hotels and unique living spaces, searchable on BridgeStreet.com, to a global audience that has traditionally been difficult to access for this sector,” said Aaron Turner, CTO of BridgeStreet.
Udai Singh Solanki, CTO and managing director at eRevMax, said: “The demand for serviced apartments is growing faster than new supply as an increasingly mobile global workforce is driving business travel and relocation activity.
