Software for small and medium hostels

I have written a software system for processing reservations and bed management. It is designed for hostels with up to 80 beds. The system will be announced on UKTrail website very soon, but here are the essential aspects:

The system takes details of reservations and guests. It allocates reservations to beds. It stores all this information on a database. Links within the display make it especially easy to use.

Any data from the system can be exported either on paper, as a comma-separated text file, or in XML format. In this way it can be made to interact with other packages, such as financial systems, word processors (for invoices) and booking engines, provided those systems facilitate it.

All the data are held on your computer, it does not involve the Internet.

The Base Package aims to have everything that EVERY hostel will need, but no additional features that only some hostels will need. In that way it is kept simple, easy to learn, and low cost.

Within the scope of the software, the system can be tailored to your particular hostel's needs for a moderate extra cost.

The system runs on a single computer.

The system works with MySQL database system. Therefore you need to have MySQL (available for free download) installed on your computer before you can use the system or try it out.

The program is written in Java. It should therefore work on a wide range of platforms.

Price Guide: €600 for the Base Package. No licence, no further annual costs. Free email help.

If you are interested, please comment below, or send me a personal message on this site. I will tell you when more detailed information about the system is available on our website.
