Integrated Internet Distribution Solution

The Levart solution can help tightly integrate and streamline your properties online distribution.

The Levart Property Website allows for the efficient distribution of information about your property. The Booking Engine facilitates the sale of the rooms available at the property. Channel Control allows you to distribute your rates to third party systems both locally and internationally.

Bookings made directly on your property website will not attract any additional fees or charges! This encourages the property to promote its website address to encourage direct sales. It's the property's most cost effective distribution channel.

The Levart Booking Engine
The property Booking Engine is the heart around which the distribution flows. It pumps out rates and inventory to the property's own website and through to Third Party Intermediaries (TPI's). It allows the property to update and change rates & inventory.
The Property Website
The rates and inventory are displayed on the property website. Bookings can be made via the simple to use and intuitive booking process that provides immediate confirmations.
Third Party Intermediaries
Third party distribution channels (such as Wotif.com, Booking.com and Rates To Go) are a critical part of a property's distribution strategy. The pooled inventory model employed by Levart allows the property to be listed on many sites to broaden the chances of rooms being sold. It also increases the awareness of the property the more sites that you are listed on. After all it's about exposure and making the rooms available for sales with the most effective channel being able to sell them on a ‘first in, first served’ basis.

Global Distribution Systems
Levart provides interfaces to the Global Distribution Systems (GDS). This provides distribution through to the Sabre, Galileo, Amadeus and WorldSpan booking systems. By linking to the GDS you can make your property available to nearly every travel agent around the world.
Online Travel Agents
These specialised online sites have huge audiences around the world. Sites like Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz are all interfaced through Levart.
Domestic and Overseas Wholesalers
Levart has developed interfaces with a number of wholesalers that will assist in the dynamic delivery of rates and or inventory.
Inbound Operators
Similar to the Domestic Wholesalers Levart is developing interfaces to inbound operators.

Property Management System Integration

The Integrated Internet Distribution Solution provided by Levart allows the property to interface to its Property Management System (PMS) with the Levart website Booking Engine.

PMS Interface
Levart has developed interfaces with a number of PMS providers to permit inventory and rates to flow from the PMS into Levart and for bookings from all sources managed by Levart to flow through to the PMS.

The benefits of the PMS interface cannot be overstated. Some of these benefits are:
- Not having to key in hundreds of email bookings.
- Accuracy is improved as the information is transferred dynamically.
- Saving in staff time.

Additional Distribution Options

Within the Levart booking engine you also have the following distribution options:

Client Profiles
Provide the ability for the property to issue confidential client rates. The client will access the rates via a user name and password. They will be the only people who are able to view their special rates. The property will be able to create a strong one-on-one relationship with the client.
Portals
The Levart distribution model requires all sites to be hosted on the one web server. This provides us and the property with many advantages. We are able to provide accommodation search facilities on third party sites that will enable the user to locate and book accommodation around Australia.

The system permits us to have an unlimited number of portals of which we have three types:
- General Portals: where the general rate is available to users.
- Members Portals: where the property is able to nominate a special rate that will only be available through member’s portals and is accessible through a user name and password. These rates would be available on all member portals.
- Client Profiles Portals: Provide for the distribution of negotiated rates through special client profile portals.
Traditional Internet Marketing v Satellite Internet Marketing
Traditional website distribution systems require considerable promotion to encourage site visitation. This can be expensive and in a large number of cases meets with limited success. The Levart Distribution Systems' model places the search facility onto sites that are already well known and that generally have a large membership base. We have termed our distribution model Satellite Internet Marketing.
