TUI-owned accommodation supplier Hotelbeds has relaunched its hotel partner portal.

MaxiRoom is described as being a “faster, smarter and easier to use” extranet, designed to drive maximum occupancy through the bedbank’s distribution channels.

Features of the new portal include a global dashboard providing Hotelbeds’ partners with a complete overview of all their inventory, as well as the ability to make instant adjustments to the presentation of products.

Other functionalities include a fully interactive calendar, an ‘intuitive’ content manager, a mass update tool for use across multiple rate and room types and ‘intelligent’ alerts which inform users of any sold dates, missing descriptions or images.

There is also a tool which allows hoteliers to directly and dynamically launch their own offers.

In addition to these functionalities, MaxiRoom provides a snapshot view of how the user’s hotel is performing in a range of aspects against their local competitors.

Javier Arevalo, product director at Hotelbeds, said: “Our fresh focus to redesign our processes and platforms to be as simple and intuitive as possible is paying dividends.

“The new Maxiroom platform has been embraced by the sector with lots of enthusiasm. Feedback has been highly positive with many partners rating Maxiroom as best in class.”

The unveiling of Maxiroom follows the launch in World Travel Market of APItude, Hotelbeds’ new hotel distribution API.
