GuestCentric extends cloud computing access

Launch of Developer’s Cloud will assist independent hotels with websites

GuestCentric has launched a new e-commerce solutions service designed to help independent hotels offer fully integrated websites without having to go through a lengthy development process.
The Developers Cloud enables web designers and developers to provide an end-to-end solution to their customers based on a leading hotel e-commerce cloud.

GuestCentric VP of product management Filipe Machaz said: “Opening our cloud to web designers and developers around the world provides them the opportunity to take advantage of GuestCentric’s leading web-based platform tailored to the hotel industry. This unprecedented access to the cloud will allow designers and developers to come up with some new ideas and innovations that may not have been previously considered or even thought possible”.

The launch of the Developers Cloud is the second step in opening the GuestCentric community for designers and developers, and follows on from the successful launch of the WordPress booking engine plug-in and Joomla! booking engine module.

GuestCentric user, Rodrigo Costa, managing partner at Monday Interactive Marketing, commented: “Since we moved our website development to the GuestCentric cloud, we were able to deliver top-notch solutions to our customers with very limited effort, since GuestCentric provides a complete e-commerce and social marketing platform, and have been able to focus on what we do best: innovate.

“We are now in the process of developing a mobile reservations application based on the GuestCentric API that will provide our customers a powerful way to engage guests on the day of check-in and GuestCentric already showed interest in potentially reselling it to their growing customer base of properties around the world,” said Costa.
