BA Bedz

BA Bedz is a hotel specifically for use by members of a major UK airline's cabin crew located in Harmondsworth, London. Cabin crew can often come across difficulties when looking for decent accommodation before a trip. This opportunity was realised by a cabin crew staff member and as a result, BA Bedz was formed.

e-availability's accommodation system has brought the BA Bedz business to life by allowing cabin crew to view availability of rooms and book simply online. Furthermore, if rooms are full, the system can put crew member's details on a waiting list and notify crew if rooms become available at short notice. e-availability's system facilitates the process by sending automatic notification by SMS text messaging and email. The system also allows crew members to create a login which records their details in order to make the process as effortless as possible for subsequent visits.

e-availability prides itself on developing customisable software solutions which meet the individual needs of each client - BA Bedz is a prime example of this!

"e-availability's understanding of the fast paced, unpredictable nature of our industry has been crucial in developing a system which meets all our business needs. The team are never more than a phone call away and we are extremely happy with the personal service we have received. We simply couldn't operate without the e-availability system!"

Loch Leven Accommodation

Loch Leven Holiday Accommodation is situated approx 4 miles from the village of North Ballachulish, 16 miles from Fort William in the stunning West Highland of Scotland. Loch Leven Holiday Accommodation is the perfect get away for families, couples and anyone looking for the ideal holiday retreat.

To maintain a competitive edge Loch Leven knew that they had to allow customers to book at a time which was convenient to them, hence online booking was the perfect solution. Loch Leven became aware of e-availability after a recommendation was made by their web designers. They wanted a system which was easy for staff and customers to use and e-availability's Accommodation Module was the ideal match.

The module allows customers visiting the site to quickly view availability of accommodation and book simply online. e-availability's Accommodation System has provided Loch Leven with many benefits. They do not need to always be near the phone to get new bookings, the system is integrated into their site so it is easy for the customer to use and understand and customers receive an automatic email confirmation with all booking details. Another benefit for Loch Leven is that the system records all customer information, such as bookings and payments so it is also a very useful database.

"More and more people are using the internet to look for holidays and if we can make that process as simple as possible for them, then that's great and e-availability helps us do that!"

MacLeod Hotels

The Broadford Hotel and Bosville Hotel are luxury hotels situated on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, run by MacLeod Hotels. MacLeod’s has recently purchased a third hotel, the Marmalade, making it a major employer on Skye.

MacLeod’s was looking for an online booking system that could synchronise the availability of room bookings across the Broadford and Bosville hotels. E-availability integrated a modified version of the e-availability Accommodation system within each hotel’s website, which were connected to each other. When prospective customers check availability at either hotel, they are presented with appropriate options for the sister hotel if nothing suitable is available, ensuring MacLeod’s maximise their booking potential. New bookings are added to MacLeod’s existing Five Star Hotel System and confirmation of bookings are automatically emailed to both the Hotel and the customer.

In addition, the e-availability booking system allows for upselling items at certain times e.g., chocolates or champagne for Valentine’s Day bookings, and taking online payment via PayPoint.
