SoftBrands Hospitality, Inc., a leading international supplier of enterprise-wide software and internet-enabled solutions for the hospitality industry, has announced the release of the RIO Web Booking Engine (WBE), to provide spa and resort properties an online reservation system that integrates with their own website. This new booking engine is the latest in a series of enhancements to the RIO solution.

The WBE module provides a series of web pages and software components that provide spa guests with rate and inventory aware booking via the internet. Designed to work like a live reservation agent, the WBE functions in real time, taking into consideration the client’s existing reservations and preferences as dictated by the customer’s centralised profile.

“We are pleased to offer our spa clients the ability to capture reservations 24-7,” commented SoftBrands` Vice President of Marketing Don Bryan, “But this is only the initial phase of the web services we intend to offer. Forthcoming developments will incorporate profit-generating components that complement our current retail point-of -sale product. The RIO Web Booking Engine will help spas profit from these virtually labour-free features, while creating an online extension of the quality services RIO helps them manage.”

SoftBrands RIO is a guest-centric leisure management solution that helps spas, resorts and clubs manage spa and activity appointments, dining reservations, retail point-of-sale, food and beverage point-of-sale, membership billing, classes, events and web reservations.
