IWBFrontDesk – New Property Management System
Instant World Booking recently announced the soon-to-be-released IWBFrontDesk, a brand new full-featured property management system (PMS or Front Desk System). Subscribers to Instant World Booking’s services, and our insider’s distribution list, have been the first to learn of this new product, which promises substantial savings for hotel owners, hostel managers and innkeepers alike. Our core principles and technology platform have always led to a single philosophy: properties should not overpay for services that are designed to make our lives easier and more efficient.
IWBFrontDesk certainly achieves these goals, with significant savings compared to comparable products including Rezovation GT Online, Webervations, HostelPower, SuperInn, Resnexus, and dozens more.
IWBFrontDesk offers all the features you would expect from a property management system (PMS), and much more. Some of the features you can expect from this new product include:
- Availability Calendar Management
- Guest Management
- Reservation Management
- Accounting and Reporting
- Billing Statements
- Fully online solution (no backups or software updates needed)
- Attractive, Uncluttered, and Effortless Interface
- Full Customer Support
With this level of capability, Instant World Booking’s PMS makes it easier and cheaper to run your property and front desk. It’s also nice to know that IWBFrontDesk has no setup fees, and hassle-free startup.
If that’s not enough to convince you to at least try IWBFrontDesk, consider having these additional integrated services at your fingertips. Each of these services are offered in conjunction with the IWBFrontDesk PMS or separately as standalone products of Instant World Booking. You can choose which services you want.
1. Booking Engine for your website
- Instant World Booking’s leading Booking Engine for your website integrates perfectly with IWBFrontDesk. Our booking engine includes more flexible pricing and payment options for your guests than any other provider. You tell us how you want guests to pay. Collect a deposit or not. Offer special discounts or not. Choose instant booking or request-method reservations. You tell us how you want it to work, and we’ll provide it for cheaper than any other provider … we guarantee it.
2. Credit Card Collections
- We can handle deposit collection and customer payments for you. No merchant accounts or bank applications are required.
3. Online Requests or Instant Booking
- While instant booking is always preferred for online reservations, we understand that not every accommodation is prepared to accept instant confirmations. This is why we offer an optional request-method version for your website’s booking engine.
4. Channel Management
- Do you want to be able to manage your calendar only once, and then feed it to multiple other sources? Now you can. Use either the IWBFrontDesk PMS to manage your calendar (or the Instant World Booking calendar interface). Then feed your calendar to multiple 3rd party booking services, channel managers, etc. Our automatic calendar feeds are fully XML compliant, and we can integrate with virtually any 3rd party channel distribution system.
5. GDS/IDS Feeds
- Multiply your online exposure by feeding your availability to your choice of more than 100 GDS channels and booking sites (e.g., Expedia.com, Booking.com, Hotels.com, etc.). If you currently use a similar service elsewhere, or are considering taking online reservations from GDS sites, know that we offer pricing up to 60% cheaper than most other providers. Please let us know if we can help you save money on your GDS marketing.
6. Chain and Association Management
- Instant World Booking features special services and discounts to help lodging chains and associations manage their properties and online marketing. Any of the services described above can be customized specifically for your chain or association, all at substantial discounts.
If you have special needs or requirements, Instant World Booking specializes in developing custom solutions for your accommodation business or association. So please enquire with your own specific requirements. And remember, Don’t Overpay! As you can see from the sample discounts shown above, Instant World Booking always offers substantial savings over competing providers for the customized services you need to run your business.

More Free Stuff from Instant World Booking
Of all the marketing services you can subscribe to, IWB offer more free stuff than anyone else:
- Only Instant World Booking gives you up to 15 or more unique search engine-optimized pages just for your property, each page translated to a different language. You probably don’t even have this on your own website, let alone other online booking services. And again, it’s free.
- As a tip, we can activate your property for “request-only” bookings. This is an easy method to maintain free advertising on our network, and not have any work to do maintaining a calendar. Of course, instant booking is always the preferred method over request method. Here’s why: http://www.instantworldbooking.com/blog_iw/2010/07/instant-booking-hotels-hostels/
- Save time and work by feeding your availability directly into our system from your current front desk software. It’s also free. We have an XML API that allows any 3rd party PMS, channel manager, or front desk system to feed your availability to us. Just contact them and tell them you want them to integrate with us. Send them this URL: http://www.instantworldbooking.com/blog_iw/category/xml-feeds/
- Free Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising. Instant World Booking has proven to be very successful in gaining top search engine rankings for its listed lodging partners. When you maintain an availability calendar with us, we use PPC advertising to market your property on Google and other sites. A PPC campaign can cost you hundreds of dollars per month, if executed on your own. However, we advertise our partners in PPC campaigns for free.
- Cheapest Booking Engine for your website – guaranteed! An online booking engine for your website is a critical part of your marketing strategy, especially now with 45% of all travel in the world booked on the internet. If you haven’t already tried our online booking engine for your website, perhaps now is the time to consider that Instant World Booking offers the lowest cost options available from any provider. We can save you money because we offer more options, at a cheaper cost than HostelWorld … cheaper than HostelBookers … cheaper than BedandBreakfast.com … cheaper than Hotels.com, Webervations, Rezovation, HostelsClub, Venere … etc. In short, here’s our guaranty. If you are using a competing provider for your website’s booking engine, we guarantee a lower cost for the same service. Please don’t overpay!
- How about Free No-Show and Cancellation Protection. Not offered by other services, this protection comes free with your booking engine.
- Optional Credit Card Collection services. If you don’t currently accept credit cards online, we can provide that service also, with no merchant account, location, or credit restrictions for you. How about this. Charge guest credit cards for no-shows and cancellations, regardless of where or how they booked. Charge guests for virtually any cost associated with their stay with you, regardless of where or how they booked.
- Also free:
- Unlimited photos
- Custom, searchable maps for your property on our network
- Get back-links to your webpage directly from our 100+ websites.
- Post your videos on our site

Why Instant Booking is Better for Hotels and Hostels?
Many hotels or hostels don’t want to manage yet another availability calendar. But, why is the instant booking calendar really better than the online request method? Instant World Booking has discussed this at some length, but for many hotels, the choice continues to be request-only. There are clear advantages to the instant booking method that far outweigh any administrative inconveniences. In the end, online requests always end up with some degree of frustration for hotel administrators. Here’s why instant booking using an online calendar is best in almost every situation:
- The vast majority of users searching accommodation on the internet want instant gratification. If they have to wait for a response to a request, they disappear quickly. With instant booking, you capture the booking immediately, before they have time to search elsewhere.
- Instant booking has a much higher reservation success rate because of (1) above.
Some users will submit a request simply to find out what rates are, and have no intention to book soon. This forces the hotel to respond to requests that will never turn into reservations. - A percentage of all users never receive the response email because they are using some free email service (e.g., hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc.) that blocks mail from new senders as spam, and they don’t realize that this is happening. This is a simple fact that affects virtually all online services these days. A user that falls into this category will either disappear or complain that they never received a response. Nevertheless, with instant booking, this is never a problem, since the user receives confirmation directly while they’re still online.
- Hotel and hostel managers that are concerned with maintaining a calendar online have many options available to them. If they don’t want to use our interface directly, they can use one of several third party interfaces that feed into our system. You can contact us for recommendations, or get more information at: XML feed for availability calendars
- The risk of an occasional overbooking is more than offset by the higher level of bookings, income, and benefits mentioned above that can be achieved with the instant booking method.
