InnLink 2-Way GDS Interface
RDP is pleased to announce a new two-way interface to the Global Distribution
System [GDS] via the InnLink suite of products and services.
InnLink is now a part of
Travlynx. If
already a customer of both RDP and InnLink, this interface eases the process
of gaining more reservations by:
- Seamless availability interface between RDP and InnLink. Properties with
a two-way availability interface increase their GDS reservations
significantly.
- Automatic loading of reservations booked through InnLink into the RDP
software.
-
Rate interface between RDP and InnLink. Manage rates in RDP and they will
be updated for all your distribution channels.

selling and other key selling tools.

Why Use the InnLink Interface?
- Increase revenue by having true last-room availability open to the
InnLink
distribution channels, or manage an InnLink room block within the RDP Software.
- Reduce manual data entry by having reservations loaded automatically
into RDP via the InnLink system.
- Manage GDS cut-offs from within RDP
to close out busy dates or holiday periods on the GDS.
How to Implement InnLink
- Contact InnLink
for a Reservation Service Agreement for their GDS
services. InnLink has low upfront and transaction fees for their services.
Please contact InnLink regarding pricing.
- Update to the latest version of
RDPWin 2.x or
3.x.
- The interface uses RDPWin Monitor to communicate
and does not have any special hardware requirements. However, the property
must have high speed internet access, but the only machine that needs this
access is the machine running the RDPWin Monitor.
- Contact RDP to purchase the InnLink interface. The interface price is
$4,000 plus a $600 increase in the yearly support contract.
