De Vere has made it easier for event planners to access real-time availability of meeting spaces and to book instantly by digitally integrating its online meeting booking engine, Smart Booker with venuedirectory.com.
De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, De Vere Horsley Estate, De Vere Latimer Estate, De Vere Cotswold Water Park and De Vere Beaumont Estate can now be booked through venuedirectory.com’s Instant Book while three more properties will be live on the system shortly. The instant booking and live connectivity between De Vere and venuedirectory.com are enabled via MeetingPackage Channel Manager that connects directly to the Property Management System.
Alan Corlett, De Vere’s Chief Commercial Officer, explained why the company has taken this step.
“By digitally integrating our extensive collection of properties through the De Vere online meeting booking engine, Smart Booker with venuedirectory.com, event planners will have an even wider distribution platform with access to real-time availability and dynamic pricing across hundreds of De Vere’s meeting and event spaces.
“venuedirectory.com‘s customer base will now easily be able to search, filter and book De Vere’s event spaces in one simple process online, giving event planners greater flexibility throughout the process.”
Michael Begley, CEO of venuedirectory.com commented: “To offer live availability and Instant Booking for De Vere’s Grand Connaught Rooms and its many country estate properties is a wonderful addition to the increasingly large and wide range of meeting spaces that event planners can now access so much more easily. The movement towards digital integration of venues is gaining strong momentum month by month.”
