Thanks for all the replies.
When I first tried researching it, everytime I searched for PMS, all that came up were female help websites, so I am glad I found innspiring. Superinn I dont think is appropriate as we need the extra business that comes from GDS integration.
I downloaded a couple of programs and tried them out. John, I would be curious about your comparison. I just signed up for webervations and talked to bedandbreakfast.com.
I like there setup quite alot, but webervations is just an engine i believe and really doesnt handle your reservations. What I saw as a possibility was to put all reservations through our website with webervations, ie all phone reservations we will have the front desk person checking availability and entering the reservation through with the form that is already on the website. It is definitely a backway to do it, but seemed rather easy. Anyway, webervations is 14.99 month after the 2-3 month trial. bed and breakfast.com membership is $30/month and by the end of the month they will be on most of the websites. So the final cost is 49.99/month plus 25% of each reservation, the percentage only applies to ones booked on expedia or travelocity etc.
My biggest concern with desktop software programs is ease of use. Our staff is not that technologically knowledgable and training and use is a big concern for me. I know that it is extremely important though, to be online these days, so I am committed to doing some sort of program. So webervations is a good option I believe, but John can you tell me the comparison between the two and why I would choose gt over it.
From what I see, the setup with webervations is fine, I would just addon GT, especially since you are the same company. I do not understand why your booking engine prices vary drastically though. Is there a different connection to GDS that is used with your software?
Thanks for all the input and I hope this thread can be informative to everyone.
