Follow on Google News | ![]() Cultuzz is connected to the new HRS XML-interfaceA higher security level and more settings really improve "CultSwitch"
Now, availabilities and rates will be sent to HRS via XML. In the past, an XML connection was not available making it necessary that Cultuzz' software engineers developed and worked with an in-house electronic assistant which imitated the hotelier and automatically maintained the data in the extranet of HRS. However, this so called "screen scraping" is not as reliable as an XML interface. "CultSwitch" As of today, all Cultuzz interfaces are XML-based. "There is no more 'screen scraping' within our system", says Dr Reinhard Vogel, Managing Director of Cultuzz Digital Media. "Now, we can focus on intensifying the scale integration within the reservation channels and increasing the selling opportunities for the hoteliers." Along with HRS, other booking platforms such as Booking, hotel.de, ehotel, Expedia, RatesToGo and eBay as well as the destination systems Tiscover and Wild-East are connected to "CultSwitch" HRS operates a global electronic hotel reservation system based on a database of more than 230'000 hotels in all categories in 180 different countries. A large proportion of the bookings are made by corporate customers. Direct connections exist to more than 12'000 nationally and internationally- # # # Cultuzz Digital Media GmbH was founded by Dr Reinhard Vogel in Berlin in the year 2000. The company is specialized in online sales and distribution for the hospitality industry and is the global market leader in selling hotel rooms on eBay. End
