Hotel group Best Western International and Datalex have announced the Irish travel software producer will supply its new booking-engine solution to the hotel group.
The technology will extend a range of online searching and booking capabilities to customers and travel professionals via Best Western's websites, connecting travel buyers to Best Western's central reservations system (CRS).
Through a licence agreement, Best Western will take delivery of the Datalex Internet booking-engine platform, which will provide a broad range of functions that allow the company to replace its current per-transaction cost base for outsourced Internet reservations services.
Best Western will operate the booking engine from its centre in Arizona.
The new system will provide travel customers with destination search and recommendation capabilities, dynamic links to property information, and bookings made against real-time room availability.
At 11.00 a.m. Datalex shares were trading on the ISEQ at €0.40, up €0.03, an increase of 8.11 per cent
