FlexBook is just another reservation system. However, we design it as a reservation system of anything. When we are thinking about anything, we can classify anything as
- a resource – anything available for reservation (hotel room, meeting room, sport court, car, motorbike, human resources like hairdresser, trainer, etc.)
- an event – any event available for one or many attendees (training, workshop, conference, sightseeing, travel tour, etc.)
With just two types of objects (resource and event), we can prepare the model for any reservation system for any business segment. Example of business segments are:
- Conferences, workshops, meetings, ...
- Sport centers
- Rental of anything
- Healthcare
- Hairdressers
- Physiotherapists
- Massage
- Etc.
The reservation system is essential for business digital transformation. Nevertheless, the reservation system is usually used by a single business entity. It allows business digitalization on their web site but this is just a first step in digital transformation as it allows 1:1 business relationship. The web is good for humans but not for other applications and systems. That's the reason why we believe, there is a need to distribute these resources and events through some other channels. To simplify and consolidate a lot of multiple channels (aka many to many or mesh topology), we believe, the distribution system (Global Distribution System - GDS) can simplify the integration and information exchange between many reservation systems (information providers) and various information consumers (web portals, mobile apps, tour operator terminals, etc.). And this where GDS come in to play.
GDS's are used for ages in the travel business (air ticketing, hotels, rental cars, etc.), so it is nothing new. The new thing nowadays is, that a lot of other business segments is following a similar concept. That's the reason why we believe GDS of resources and events is needed.
