RedAwning Launches Booking.com Content API And Receives Booking.com’s Prestigious Preferred IT Provider Status
(PRWEB) November 18, 2016 -- RedAwning.com, the world’s largest network of branded vacation properties, is pleased to announce that it has received full certification on Booking.com's recently announced content API for the fastest and most accurate delivery of new properties to Booking.com, the world leader in booking accommodations.
In addition to full certification on the content API, RedAwning has also been awarded Preferred IT Provider status by Booking.com. The Preferred Provider program identifies channel partners and suppliers who provide consistently excellent service and support, and who can be confidently recommended to property managers seeking connectivity, as well as to customers seeking vacation rentals on Booking.com.
"We are thrilled to get this distinguishing endorsement,” said RedAwning CEO Tim Choate. “RedAwning was in the select group of early users who underwent a successful round of beta testing for the API earlier this year and this recognition confirms that our teams share the goal of being at the forefront of innovation, technology and service in the vacation rental industry. We are delighted with our massive growth working with Booking.com and we look forward to continuing to expand our partnership to maximize reservations for our property owners and managers, and ultimately make vacation rental booking easier, safer and more consistent for millions of vacation rental-seekers on Booking.com.”
Since receiving Booking.com’s first certified content API in August of this year, RedAwning has been able to accelerate the loading and delivery of vacation rental content to Booking.com, allowing property managers to go live on Booking.com within hours of going live on RedAwning.com. Changes to content, photos, and updates to calendars, go into effect automatically on Booking.com, significantly reducing the risk of lost bookings and double bookings due to inaccurate or delayed data.
RedAwning is not only a one-stop connectivity provider to Booking.com, but it is also the only complete solution for distribution, reservations and channel management for property managers and owners. RedAwning provides 24X7 reservation and guest support, full contracts management, credit card decline handling, payment processing, and value-added, pre- and post-stay guest resolution support with each booking. Property managers using RedAwning to connect to Booking.com can expect significantly more reservations with significantly less complexity, costs, and work. While their guests can expect one efficient, more standardized, booking experience.
