Booking engines

Your brand, all the way to checkout.

Most hotel booking flows were built for everyone. That’s why they work well for no one in particular. We build booking engines from the ground up — connected to your ecosystem, shaped by your brand, and optimized around one metric: conversion.

Problem

Templated booking engines make compromises at every layer — interface, speed, integration depth, personalization. They work. They just don’t work hard enough for a luxury property. The gap shows up in your numbers: a conversion rate that should be higher, an OTA dependency that’s eating margin, a guest experience that drops the moment someone clicks “book now.”

The industry data confirms it. Optimized checkout and room selection design alone has led to up to 15% higher revenue per visitor. Continuous A/B testing has shown a +20% increase in booking conversions. These aren’t edge cases, but the standard return on building a booking experience that’s actually designed to convert.

What we build

We build custom booking paths connected directly to your systems — not a reskin of someone else’s product. That means we design around your brand, integrate with your specific tech stack, and optimize for your guests’ behavior.

The technical foundation

  • Custom frontend — built to your brand standards, not adapted from a template
  • Backend API integrations with your PMS, Channel Manager, loyalty platform, and payment gateways
  • CMS so your team manages content without touching code
  • Single Page App architecture for load speed — because every second of delay reduces conversion
  • QA embedded throughout, not added at the end
Integrations we connect

SynXis CRS via API

OHIP and Opera Cloud

Channel Manager synchronization

Loyalty and membership platforms

Payment gateways

CRM and guest profile systems

Brand-specific 3rd party & In-house systems

Every integration is tested against real operational conditions — no double-bookings, no rate parity breaks, no surprises at go-live. What works in staging works on your busiest night of the year.

We’ve done this

We’ve built custom booking paths for European and Asia-based global hotel brands — transitioning each from SynXis Booking Engine to fully custom implementations connected directly to the SynXis API. For another Asia-based hotel group, we developed a booking experience integrated with OHIP, and we’re currently rebuilding their legacy OWS system from scratch as they migrate to Opera Cloud.

What’s next? AI agents

Guests who feel known book more, return more, cost less.

A custom engine already beats a templated one. AI agents take it into personalization: an agent reads each session — and, where available, the guest’s history.

It surfaces the right room, the right offer, at the right moment. A front desk agent who remembers your guest.
