Agoda,
an online travel company specializing in hotel bookings in Asia, has
partnered with DerbySoft, a company that provides connectivity solutions to hotels and travel agents across the world. DerbySoft’s technology helps hotels distribute last minute inventory and prices
updated in real time to preferred suppliers.
Founded in Shanghai in 2002, DerbySoft’s DSwitch is in use at
many premier properties throughout China, including independent hotels such as
the Jianguo Hotel in Beijing, Hong Qiao State Guest Hotel in Shanghai, Tianlun International Hotel in Guangzhou, Grand View Hotel in
Shenzhen. Also, chains such as InterContinental Hotels Group, Hilton, Jinling Hotel Group, BTG-NIKKO Hotels which operate properties such as Jinlun Hotel in
Beijing, use the DSwtich to distribute their inventory.
Hotel properties are increasingly using such technology to
better automate the
distribution process. “We are pleased to connect with merchants like Agoda Company via DerbySoft, so that bookings, prices and
availability can be managed seamlessly and in real time, increasing our operating efficiencies,”
explained Sun Xiuhua General Manager from
Skyfortune Boutique Hotel in Shanghai.
For Agoda, the increase in inventory comes at a critical time. "China’s emergence as a top tourist and business destination in Asia
is even more evident in the build up to the Beijing Olympics,” said Wilfred Fan, Agoda’s Vice President, Business Development.
“Access to this platform will give us inventory to China’s most desirable locations when they are most in demand.”
