While you are maintaining your bookings in PIMS, the availability calendar on your own website can be updated automatically for you - instantaneously! The calendar can also be customised to match the colour scheme of your own website
Since you will naturally want to create a rate card in PIMS, you can display the rates table in your website without any copy/paste!
Display a simple (or complicated) contact form on your website, and when a visitor completes the form an enquiry will automatically be entered into PIMS for you - in addition, of course, to sending you an email !
If you wish to offer instant on-line bookings, you can add a form to your website that will check that the dates are available, and conform to your rules. Then if the dates are clear, it will invite the guest to make a provisional booking directly in PIMS - and, of course, send you an email ! By linking your PIMS account to your PayPal account or selected other Credit Card accounts, you can also invite the guest to pay the booking deposit (or full amount if its close to the date) directly online and Securely.
If you have taken the enquiry from a different source (say a listing site), then you can send the guest a specific link to a customised booking form for the guest to complete all his details and if appropriate to agree to your Terms and Conditions.
If you have a large portfolio of properties, you can let your website visitor enter their preferred dates and PIMS will offer up all of your properties that actually have the availability. You design the search results and define what happens next.
