Hertford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/20/2015 -- Latest research has found that a lack of room availability is the top frustration for business travelers when booking accommodation.

Travel management firm Egencia found that unclear cancellation rules and payment options as well not being able to view the location of the hotel versus the desired destination were among the other top concerns.

The study also revealed that brand was an important attribute among travelers when choosing a hotel with 64 per cent of business travelers in the US always stay at the same brand when traveling on business.

Egencia said that globally business travelers compare an average of two-sites before booking a hotel and almost one-third spend more than 30 minutes comparing hotels online before booking. Around 17 per cent spend more than 45 minutes searching for the right hotel with the average coming in at 34 minutes.

Luis de Souza, CEO of NFS Technology said: "Business travelers are not searching for ideas, but for a solution, expecting to book a room quickly and efficiently to accommodate their requirements. And in today's busy workplace, this demand is equal whether they are in an office or on the move and sourcing a room via their mobile.

"The complete process really has to be easy and seamless with all the necessary detail quick to find and digest on every device from a desktop to smart phone. Latest room booking software designed for hotels has the capability to provide everything, alongside dedicated travel detail, all in real time to keep the global travel industry moving."

For latest hotel reservation software, NFS Technology Group offers roomMaster with specialist online booking capability to offer 24/7/365 service for business and leisure customers, with all details and costs updated in real time.

With the business client increasingly looking for instant solutions to their accommodation needs, it is even more important for hotels to be able to manage rates in an automated manner. Hotel management software with integrated yield management, which automatically changes rate levels based on occupancy, will ultimately provide the best average daily rates (ADR) for hotel owners.

Luis concluded: "Getting additional support from specialist software for hotel reservations and management will help add that competitive edge to your property. And it is likely to make a difference to convince business travelers not to always choose by brand when an independent hotel is close to their destination. Such software has been carefully created to enable instant booking to ease the hassle for business travelers, whether it's directly with the hotel or via a booking agent."

Latest research by Orbitz and Travelocity has suggested that 60% of hotel bookings happen via mobile within 24 hours of any stay.

Hertford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/29/2015 -- The latest findings highlights how booking a hotel is often a last minute decision for clients and completed on smart mobile technology, and hotels must be prepared to accommodate quickly and efficiently.

Sanjay Saptarshi is Head of Hospitality at NFS Technology Group, creator of the innovative Rendezvous integrated hotel management software. Here, he explains the implications of these findings on the hospitality industry.

Says Sanjay: "Reliance on last minute bookings is undeniably a feature of the last decade, with the rise of more mobile friendly, easy to navigate booking websites as well as the increasing demands of the working week and stretched resources meaning more jobs require extended commutes.

"In theory, last minute bookings are of course excellent revenue, but in practice, this can prove stressful for hotels to coordinate efficiently. This is where having the right technology is integral, so that online bookings can be synchronised with the reservations taken by the hotel team to ensure a good experience for both the guest and the hotel front of house staff.

"Today software solutions need to deal with many aspects of a hotel's operation, from an easy online booking experience to managing rates, which are key to profitability and also to making sure that the hotel guest is kept well informed from the point of the online booking to check in at the front desk.

"When the guest checks in, it is critical to have the right technology to deliver a great guest experience. This includes fast check in, potentially on a mobile device, integration with in room entertainment systems, and the ability for the guest to book a range of hotel services like food and beverage and spa treatments in the most efficient manner. Here, an integrated hotel system maximises benefits for both the hotel operator and the guest."

Hertford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/24/2015 -- Embedded in a report concerning the top hotel technology trends, interesting statistics have come to light that more than 60% of hotel bookings happen within 24 hours of a stay, according both to Orbitz and Travelocity.

This highlights that booking a hotel may often be a last-minute decision for clients, and this ultimately emphasizes further the importance that they get a quality and efficient service. However, what the implied last-minute nature of booking also potentially accentuates is that this may well put pressure on hotels and their management. Especially when controlled manually, co-ordinating room bookings can be complicated in itself.

Last-minute bookings are of course excellent revenue, but potentially stressful to co-ordinate efficiently. It is anticipated, furthermore, that last-minute bookings have become a more ready feature of the last decade – considering the rise of online booking sites, as well as the increasing intensity of the working week and more jobs involving extended commutes.

Quick to comment on these interesting results were RoomMaster, leading experts in software solutions for the management industry: "The fact so many more bookings happen with 24 hours of a stay means that hotels regularly have to work with extra efficiency to get things done on time," a spokesperson told us. "Because so many of these last-minute bookings are the product of the internet – both to book and for clients to get the best deals, it is increasingly important that hotels also take the appropriate steps to get to grips with technology.

"Keeping in touch with technology ultimately means an efficient software solution. Software can be synchronized to increasing areas of hoteling including facilitating online booking, which is where so many last-minute stays sourced from.

"In opting for a software solution, this efficiently manages elementssuch as room-booking too, so those last-minute entries can be practically logged and even emphasized. A software solution is increasingly important for keeping businesses on-point, and in the hoteling industry this not only allows for spontaneity, but can also mange a number of other tasks such as appropriate size allocation; they can even be linked to entertainment systems, significantly enhancing the guest experience."
