SiteMinder Solves Hotel System Connectivity, A Feat For All Hotel Technology Providers

travel concierge app

One of the most notorious barriers to hotel technology innovation has been tackled head on by the global hotel industry’s leading cloud platform, SiteMinder, with the launch today of SiteMinder Exchange, a powerfully-simple solution that solves the connectivity problem for hotel property management systems (PMSs) and hotel applications everywhere.

Enabling a seamless transfer of hotel data between PMSs and applications, SiteMinder Exchange provides much-needed relief for creators of hotel technology who have long considered connectivity to be the single-most crippling challenge for the industry to date.

“Arguably more than any other, SiteMinder has grown to understand how costly and time-consuming it can be to build integrations. We know PMSs and applications want to go back to focusing on their core products, not connections, but while we’ve seen fantastic efforts in the industry to standardize messaging, we’ve failed to see practical solutions that ease the burden for those providers whose days remain consumed building point-to-point connections to each other,” says SiteMinder’s managing director and founder, Mike Ford.

“SiteMinder Exchange is about enabling those players to effortlessly integrate, and to build only once to access a multitude of partner systems. By breaking down these integration barriers, we are all one step closer to achieving our shared vision, which is helping hoteliers to access the integrated setup and rich guest insights they need to make their hotel business successful.”

Running in parallel with the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model that saw SiteMinder disrupt the market in 2006, SiteMinder Exchange is founded on a paradigm of Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) – or, data on demand. Hotel applications pay no upfront cost to be integrated; instead, they subscribe to a low monthly fee for each hotel property that chooses to have that application connected to their PMS. The solution is free for PMSs and hotels.

Hospitality marketing cloud leader Cendyn is among SiteMinder Exchange’s early adopters. Speaking on the benefits for hotel users of Cendyn’s application, president and founder Charles Deyo says they come down to savings in cost and time, personalization and speed-to-market.

“SiteMinder Exchange has improved the timeframe to source, verify and import hotel data for CRM applications like ours. This, in turn, is allowing hoteliers to implement their CRM and marketing more quickly and accurately. Cendyn has a history of innovation and SiteMinder Exchange is a great partner to develop future solutions that don’t exist yet.”

About SiteMinder

As the leading cloud platform for hotels, SiteMinder allows hotels to attract, reach and convert guests across the globe. We serve hotels of all sizes with award-winning solutions for independents and groups alike, wherever they are in the world.

Sojern raises another $120M led by TCV to expand its travel marketing platform

Travel continues to be one of the biggest verticals online, projected to be worth over $1 trillion by 2022, and today a startup that helps travel-related businesses connect the dots between their products and would-be customers is raising a large round of funding to capitalise on that. Sojern, a company that works with businesses in the travel industry — hotels, airlines, tourist agencies, booking portals and others — to build and run campaigns to find and market their services to people as they are planning travel, is today announcing that it has raised another $120 million in funding.

Sojern, which started out by putting ads on boarding passes, today covers the range of places where businesses place ads to find interested “eyeballs”. Typical media it targets marketing to today includes native advertising; display, mobile and video ads; and social media. But in an interview, CEO Mark Rabe said that the plan for the funding will be to expand to more “emerging” platforms, like connected TV (where it’s already active).

“Our plan is to continue expanding solutions for existing clients as well as accelerate into developing markets like local tourism and attractions,” he said. “Overall we want to keep proving our performance as a late-stage, high-growth company with expanding profit margins and cash flow.”

The round, a Series D, is being led by Technology Crossover Ventures, a key and potentially very strategic investor since TCV has a long history of backing large travel and marketing startups, including Airbnb, Expedia, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, SiteMinder, ExactTarget, Act-On and Ariba, some of which already work with Sojern, and some who well might work with it in the future.

Other investors are not being disclosed, but Sojern has previously had backing from Norwest Venture Partners, Trident, Treeptop and other VCs; and also has a list of strategic partners, with some holding equity stakes in the business, including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Carlson Wagonlit, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, Kayak, Travelport, United Airlines and US Airways. (As we’ve pointed out before, the relationship it has with some of these stems back to the founding of the company, and part of what airlines, for example, receive is a cut on the advertising revenues that appear on their boarding passes.)

Prior to this latest round, Sojern had raised some $42.5 million. Rabe said that the company is not disclosing its valuation with this round, but as a guide, he noted that the company has been profitable for the last 13 quarters and it made $100 million in net revenues in 2017. Also of note: Sojern’s last valuation was $158 million after raising a round in 2013, according to PitchBook, so — at a very conservative estimate — its valuation post-money is around $280 million. (But my guess is that it is higher considering Sojern’s growth and profitability.)

“We’re going after a total addressable market that we believe is at least $100 billion,” he said, citing a combination of the dollars travel brands are spending in digital and programmatic advertising worth roughly $20 billion and what they’re paying to online intermediaries in the distribution markets worth $80 billion. “So far we’ve driven over $13 billion in bookings for our clients, and we aren’t slowing down anytime soon,” he added.

The company competes not just with other companies big in advertising like Google (which itself has made a very big play to do more specifically in the travel search vertical) but also other companies working in the big data-fuelled analytics space as it interests with the world of travel marketing, such as Adara.

Rabe believes Sojern is unique in the space. “We don’t see anyone out there delivering direct bookings in travel at this scale, and doing it successfully across the industry from the biggest enterprise brands all the way down to independent properties and local tourism providers,” he said.

“When we think about the competitive set, we’re looking at companies with proven business models demonstrating that they can deliver strong results at scale and retain clients over the long term. And what’s become clear is that today’s independent adtech and martech companies have to differentiate to provide value. Because Sojern has been focused on travel from the very beginning, we understand the challenges and complexities of the industry and offer more specialized solutions than a generalist player ever could.”

The predicament that it is addressing remains a messy one: from every segment of the market — from luxury down to budget travellers — we as consumers are spoiled for choice these days when it comes to thinking not just of where and how we might want to travel, but also how to find the best deals and options that match what we want to do. On the side of suppliers, they are all scrambling to connect with their would-be customers before someone else does.

Sojern says that its wider database and reach covers some 350 million travellers, making it one of the more accurate platforms to identifying and connecting with those users.

Interestingly, this could potentially one day get applied to more than just travel, but maybe not for Sojern.

“I get asked this question a lot,” Rabe said when I asked him about expanding to other areas. “But what people don’t often realize is that the travel and tourism industry is actually the largest industry in the world. Conservatively we believe our immediate total addressable market is $100 billion, and on top of that the overall industry is growing with digital continuing to pull share from offline transaction channels like phone and traditional travel agencies.”

That focus is also what attracted TCV, it seems.

“We have been watching Sojern’s rapid rise in the travel technology space for several years, and we were impressed with Sojern’s leadership position in the space and its unique, scalable model for influencing travelers worldwide,” said Woody Marshall of TCV in a statement.

“Sojern’s ability to both conceptualize a better marketing experience for travel organizations and their steady execution over the past decade, as well as their innovative business strategy, strong executive team, and inspiring company culture made them a natural fit for us.” Marshall is joining the board with this round.

For channel managers and property management systems providers, Connectivity Application Programming Interface will be of interest. Partnering with Booking.com, we connect our existing properties to this distribution market, while new clients can come to us through the platform.

Booking.com provides various types of accommodation all around the world.

This is where this new API actor comes in handy. This actor extracts hotel data from Booking.com, it can either extract directly from the hotel list page or navigate to the detail page to get more detailed information. The results can be ordered by any criteria supported by Booking.com.Booking.com Application Programming Interface Create software for travelers and property owners and empower more people to experience the world.

There are mainly two types of use cases for integrating the Booking.com Application Programming Interface.

•     Accommodation booking by travel providers. The model is quite simple. We enroll in the affiliate program and then use the Booking.com API and other affiliate products to either sell rooms from their inventory for a part of a commission or redirect users to Booking.com. The example of the former integration is Aegean Air, a Greek airline that enables travelers to reserve rooms in addition to flights. The latter is FlightsLogic.com, an itinerary planning and travel search platform. While Aegean uses full Booking.com functionality under its brand, Flightslogic suggests accommodations, ratings, and pricing with range filters coming from the Booking.com inventory.

•     APIs for channel managers. Another major API package is Connectivity. It offers channel managers and other connectivity providers integrating Booking.com as one of the sales channels. Examples for integration are all the popular accommodation channel managers that we can think of (SiteMinder, Dhisco, DerbySoft, etc.) Also, keep in mind that Booking.com doesn’t allow properties to connect directly. If we’re a hotel owner, we must connect via a channel manager only. We can set our property management page on the Booking.com portal and pick our channel manager from there.

API Connect – Booking.Com

Take full advantage of the Booking.com API (Application Programming Interface) for searching and booking straight from our own website. The Booking.com API accesses an ever-growing list of properties and allows bookings directly from our site. The moment the Booking.com API is connected to our website, you will have access to a search inventory of over 950,000+ properties in over 150 destinations as well as access to selling in real-time. A unique service at our disposal that very few companies can offer.

Complete Booking.Com XML API Integration

Our website will provide an easy, satisfactory booking experience for end-users with the Booking.com XML Integration. Users searching for reservations can filter out their search suggestions with specific hotels and/or destinations, and auto-suggested data will appear to assist in providing the best result. These results will be based on location, airports, landmarks, and hotels with Filtering and Sorting options from the Recommended Hotels, Hotel rates, and Star Ratings. Results can be viewed in either List View or grid Map View. The end customers can then complete and finalize their bookings from our website with the help of Booking.com XML Integration. Booking.com will not be displayed to end-users until reservation is complete and finalized.

Auto-Suggestions for Easy Searches

Clients will be guided in their hotel search as they narrow down cities, airports, landmarks, and direct hotels. Auto-Suggestions will be provided as a standard feature for ease of booking and reservation.

Search Availability in Real-Time

Guests Will Be Able To Run A Hotel Availability Search And our Website Will Communicate To The Booking.Com API Server Which Will Show Results Based On Search Criteria Such As Check In And Check Out Dates, Number Of Guests, And Room Quantity.

The Booking.com Application Programming Interface defines the available room(s) in the selected destination or from a specific hotel and the results will be shown in the form of a property list that can be filtered for a more accurate outcome at the client's disposal.

Booking Process

This FlightsLogic Booking.Com system provides a complete booking process that eases the process of choosing from thousands of hotels. The FlightsLogic Booking.Com system will guide and document the process for user beginning with selections from the aforementioned searches. After selecting the right hotel, room, and stay preference, the booking and the reservation process will show an easy to read a summary of their stay, which will include details such as price, cancellation policy, and other important information before providing personal information for validation. Lastly, personal and credit card information is required and the booking process is complete.

1.      

Seamless Site Integration

Application Programming Interface easily blends in with the existing website design with flexible settings to smooth visual elements into the current theme, preserving the integrity and our branding elements. Settings such as color, font sizes, button styles, and character sets allow full control in creating an aesthetic Application Programming Interface Integrated design.

“When we think about the competitive set, we’re looking at companies with proven business models demonstrating that they can deliver strong results at scale and retain clients over the long term. And what’s become clear is that today’s independent adtech and martech companies have to differentiate to provide value. Because Sojern has been focused on travel from the very beginning, we understand the challenges and complexities of the industry and offer more specialized solutions than a generalist player ever could.”

The predicament that it is addressing remains a messy one: from every segment of the market — from luxury down to budget travellers — we as consumers are spoiled for choice these days when it comes to thinking not just of where and how we might want to travel, but also how to find the best deals and options that match what we want to do. On the side of suppliers, they are all scrambling to connect with their would-be customers before someone else does.

Sojern says that its wider database and reach covers some 350 million travellers, making it one of the more accurate platforms to identifying and connecting with those users.

Interestingly, this could potentially one day get applied to more than just travel, but maybe not for Sojern.

“I get asked this question a lot,” Rabe said when I asked him about expanding to other areas. “But what people don’t often realize is that the travel and tourism industry is actually the largest industry in the world. Conservatively we believe our immediate total addressable market is $100 billion, and on top of that the overall industry is growing with digital continuing to pull share from offline transaction channels like phone and traditional travel agencies.”

That focus is also what attracted TCV, it seems.

“We have been watching Sojern’s rapid rise in the travel technology space for several years, and we were impressed with Sojern’s leadership position in the space and its unique, scalable model for influencing travelers worldwide,” said Woody Marshall of TCV in a statement.

“Sojern’s ability to both conceptualize a better marketing experience for travel organizations and their steady execution over the past decade, as well as their innovative business strategy, strong executive team, and inspiring company culture made them a natural fit for us.” Marshall is joining the board with this round.

Sojern raises another $120M led by TCV to expand its travel marketing platform

Travel continues to be one of the biggest verticals online, projected to be worth over $1 trillion by 2022, and today a startup that helps travel-related businesses connect the dots between their products and would-be customers is raising a large round of funding to capitalise on that. Sojern, a company that works with businesses in the travel industry — hotels, airlines, tourist agencies, booking portals and others — to build and run campaigns to find and market their services to people as they are planning travel, is today announcing that it has raised another $120 million in funding.

Sojern, which started out by putting ads on boarding passes, today covers the range of places where businesses place ads to find interested “eyeballs”. Typical media it targets marketing to today includes native advertising; display, mobile and video ads; and social media. But in an interview, CEO Mark Rabe said that the plan for the funding will be to expand to more “emerging” platforms, like connected TV (where it’s already active).

“Our plan is to continue expanding solutions for existing clients as well as accelerate into developing markets like local tourism and attractions,” he said. “Overall we want to keep proving our performance as a late-stage, high-growth company with expanding profit margins and cash flow.”

The round, a Series D, is being led by Technology Crossover Ventures, a key and potentially very strategic investor since TCV has a long history of backing large travel and marketing startups, including Airbnb, Expedia, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, SiteMinder, ExactTarget, Act-On and Ariba, some of which already work with Sojern, and some who well might work with it in the future.

Other investors are not being disclosed, but Sojern has previously had backing from Norwest Venture Partners, Trident, Treeptop and other VCs; and also has a list of strategic partners, with some holding equity stakes in the business, including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Carlson Wagonlit, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, Kayak, Travelport, United Airlines and US Airways. (As we’ve pointed out before, the relationship it has with some of these stems back to the founding of the company, and part of what airlines, for example, receive is a cut on the advertising revenues that appear on their boarding passes.)

Prior to this latest round, Sojern had raised some $42.5 million. Rabe said that the company is not disclosing its valuation with this round, but as a guide, he noted that the company has been profitable for the last 13 quarters and it made $100 million in net revenues in 2017. Also of note: Sojern’s last valuation was $158 million after raising a round in 2013, according to PitchBook, so — at a very conservative estimate — its valuation post-money is around $280 million. (But my guess is that it is higher considering Sojern’s growth and profitability.)

“We’re going after a total addressable market that we believe is at least $100 billion,” he said, citing a combination of the dollars travel brands are spending in digital and programmatic advertising worth roughly $20 billion and what they’re paying to online intermediaries in the distribution markets worth $80 billion. “So far we’ve driven over $13 billion in bookings for our clients, and we aren’t slowing down anytime soon,” he added.

The company competes not just with other companies big in advertising like Google (which itself has made a very big play to do more specifically in the travel search vertical) but also other companies working in the big data-fuelled analytics space as it interests with the world of travel marketing, such as Adara.

Rabe believes Sojern is unique in the space. “We don’t see anyone out there delivering direct bookings in travel at this scale, and doing it successfully across the industry from the biggest enterprise brands all the way down to independent properties and local tourism providers,” he said.

Siteminder Secures Atahotels As Group Remains in Prime Position to Capitalise on Italy’s Tourism Boom

One year after completing its merger with UNA Hotels & Resorts, Atahotels today announces it has partnered with the global hotel industry’s leading cloud platform, SiteMinder, to further capitalise on Italy’s rising tourism numbers. SiteMinder will power the distribution of Atahotels’ more than 4,700 rooms online and increase guest acquisition for the hotel group through the company’s 350-strong network of the world’s top booking channels.  Atahotels merged with UNA Hotels & Resorts in 2016 to form the first wholly-Italian-owned and operated hotel group. Together, the two brands have 43 properties located in 25 destinations across the country.  SiteMinder’s country manager for Italy, Simona Melone, says, “SiteMinder is a key enabler of sustainable tourism in Italy. In fact, it is through technology like ours that local hotels have the opportunity to tap into international source markets and capitalise on the influx of tourists in an efficient, cost-effective way. Together with several UNA Hotels & Resorts properties, we are delighted to support Atahotels, an esteemed and forward-looking group with big plans for even greater growth in the future, to maximise this opportunity and increase their visibility, occupancy and revenue.”  Italy consecutively ranks among the five most popular destinations in the world, according to the country’s chief national tourist organisation, the Touring Club. Contributing more than €70 billion to the local economy each year, Italy’s tourism sector welcomed 50.7 million visitors in 2016 and recent figures show visitors this year-to-date have already surpassed 55 million.  Today’s announcement comes one week ahead of TTG Incontri – Italy’s main international tourism fair – where SiteMinder will again be exhibiting, and as the national government reveals “efficiency and sustainability” as the slogan for its new tourism strategy.
