ITB Berlin 2016: LIVE OS all the way!

ITB Berlin continues to be a crowd puller and this year was no different. One of the largest travel trade events globally, ITB Berlin attracted a record 120,000 trade visitors that attended the show to meet over 10,000 companies that exhibited at the event.

eRevMax ITB Stand

The event provides a platform for travel and hospitality companies to showcase their products and services and is a great place to form new partnerships and acquaintances.

eRevMax witnessed a strong response for its newly launched LIVE OS platform attracting various new partners and clients to sign up for it. Our uniquely designed stand drew a lot of attention, so much so, that SnapShot, a hospitality analytics solutions provider and an exhibitor at ITB Berlin covered eRevMax in its blog, “First off, a shoutout to eRevMax for their cafe-style stand at ITB. We also like their (relatively) new analytics tool built into their LIVE OS product. A combination of nice design and a good user base makes this a solid booking and revenue-based analytics tool.”

It is important to reiterate that LIVE OS is a first of its kind hospitality operating system that offer hotels a single point of access to multiple applications and service providers for business process improvement through relevant call to actions.

4hoteliers.com, a leading hospitality publication, featured LIVE OS for its unique proposition.

While most of the feedback received at ITB was fantastic, we have to feature what Lukas Kakalejčík from Room Assistant had to say – “LIVEOS makes it so easy for all hotels to have relevant KPIs at their disposal. The platform helps them to identify the overall effectiveness of the applications they are using and thus measure their return on investment. LIVE OS definitely helps them to make informed decisions on the performance of their technology applications. We are happy to work one-to-one with our customers, and demonstrate how our programs improve their operations, sales and marketing, and revenue. They can see the real output it brings to the table,”

More than thirty companies have signed up to integrate as partners on LIVE OS, with many more in the consultation stage. ITB Berlin continues to be a great show and we look forward to the 2017 edition.

eRevMax to host TigerTime at ITB Berlin for hoteliers

eRevMax, the leading hospitality technology & solutions provider of channel management and connectivity solutions, RateTiger and Connect, hosted its signature TigerTime session with the major Asian OTAs at ITB Berlin. The distribution provider will share valuable insights how to capture fair share of bookings in the emerging markets from the key online distribution players in the Asia region. Asia has ousted Europe to become the world’s biggest travel market. TigerTime session will be held with major Asian OTAs Rakuten, Wotif and Agoda.

Until recently, there was very little need to ensure visibility within Asia – a continent known for their preference of more traditional ways. However, with almost half of Asian travellers now citing the web as their number one method for travel booking, there has never been a more important time for hoteliers to branch out.
