Four years of SMS services in Bookassist Booking Engine

Bookassist celebrates four years of SMS messaging this month.

Making a reservation on any of hundreds of Bookassist client hotels has always been easy, but it's also remarkable convenient. Your reservation details can be delivered by SMS text message instantly when you click the confirm reservation button. There are still very few systems in the marketplace that have managed to develop SMS text messaging as part of their offering, indeed a recent press release from a new Irish online reservations company quoted the company founder as saying that SMS was an innovation they were planning for somewhere down the line! But Bookassist have been using SMS technology to underpin their reservations engine for 4 years now, another example of the technical innovation that Bookassist has brought and continues to bring to the marketplace. Bookassist extends SMS to the hospitality provider also in a number of ways, one of which is to allow proprietors to receive SMS notifications of bookings made. This has been particularly advantageous for guesthouse or apartment operators, where a permanent reception desk is not manned.
