QloApps Marketplace On-Desk Booking is an addon for QloApps Marketplace.
This addon will allow your marketplace sellers to take on-desk bookings.
In a marketplace, admin allows his sellers to list and sell their hotel rooms on his website. And for these bookings admin charges a commission.
But, what if the seller gets an offline booking aka on desk booking.
How the system will know that it has to decrease the number of rooms for a date range? How the system will manage the inventory?
In short, this can cause inventory mismanagement which will lead to overbooking and underbooking.
Consequently, deterioration of your relations with sellers, and loss of revenue.
The QloApps Marketplace On-Desk Booking will solve this issue for you.
So whenever a customer walks into a seller’s hotel the seller will take this booking with the help of this addon and the system will manage the inventory along with other stats.
So let us take a detailed understanding of this module.
Note:
- To use this module you must install QloApps Marketplace first.
- In case of on desk booking the admin commission will remain zero as the on desk booking are seller’s own booking and the marketplace has nothing to do with it.
