GuestCentric Systems, the social cloud provider of e-commerce solutions for the independent hotel industry announced the launching of yet another extension. The new module allows the seamless insertion of GuestCentric’s booking engine on any Joomla! website.
Finally web designers using Joomla! will be able to provide hotel customers a modern booking experience and distribute online promotions to Twitter and Facebook. The booking engine provides guests a unique secure shopping experience with a Rates+Availability map that allows increasing conversion rates, maximizing revenue-per-stay and generating satisfied guests. GuestCentric provides the only booking engine in the industry that provides two security shields that guarantee that the customer’s information remains private. The shopping experience is uniquely interactive, allowing key features like deal shopping or one-click checkout for returning guests.
This innovative module further extends the lead of GuestCentric’s booking engine as the most portable in the industry. Just recently GuestCentric announced a plug-in for WordPress, this new Joomla! module is available for any Joomla! website and supports different languages and layouts.
“The insertion of the module is extremely easy, in a matter of minutes Joomla! developers can offer their customers a website with professional online bookings,” said Rolando Isidoro, author of the booking engine module for Joomla! “The module provides freedom to Joomla! users to customize their booking engine by selecting from a wide range of languages and layouts. Joomla! users with basic CSS knowledge can optimize its look and feel by customizing simple properties like fonts, colors and buttons.”
Joomla! is a community-backed open source CMS with a large and active fan base. The default system includes an assortment of basic extensions and templates, but many more are available for installation. Joomla! has a large installation base and enjoys wide developer and third party support.
“By adopting GuestCentric’s cloud computing platform, Joomla! developers will gain access to a cost-effective web-based e-commerce management solution,” said Filipe Machaz, GuestCentric’s VP of Product Management. “Independent hotel managers can finally fight their increasing dependence on online travel agents by marketing their properties online and leveraging new customer engagement techniques like social commerce.”
