UK: Serviced apartment agency SilverDoor has launched an online booking platform called Orbi.
It says the platform will enable companies to manage and customise their serviced apartment programme online. Orbi has been developed specifically for the serviced apartment market and works in partnership with SilverDoor’s account management service to provide clients with control of their programme.
Users are able to make online bookings utilising live apartment availability, view all their reservations in one place and generate bespoke management reports.
SilverDoor says Orbi is “completely customisable and allows travel managers to create multiple users with specific access rights, set defined apartment budgets to help drive compliance, enter office locations and add cost centres which makes it easy to attribute serviced apartment spend”.
Duty of care was a key consideration throughout Orbi’s development. Users can view their travellers’ stays via a detailed calendar and interactive map, while Orbi also integrates with traveller tracking services International SOS and Anvil.
The platform is compliant with the latest data security best practice and built on a reputable cloud-based infrastructure that ensures client information is secure.
Orbi has been developed entirely in-house by the SilverDoor Technology team and is the latest addition to the serviced apartment provider’s suite of technology, Orbital Platforms.
SilverDoor commercial director, Stuart Winstone, said: “We are excited to be launching the next generation of our online booking technology. Orbi has been developed with the serviced apartment industry in mind at all times and we’ve listened to our clients to ensure every consideration has been taken into account. Through one relationship with SilverDoor, and harnessing Orbi’s technology, our clients are able to manage their whole global serviced apartment programme, make instant bookings and collect all the associated information and data in one secure place.
“We’re confident that Orbi will revolutionise the way serviced apartment programmes are managed and make it easier for companies around the world to utilise apartments as part of their business travel offering,” he added.</p
