The Power of Realtime
The Three Way Revolution
In the world of meetings and events, technology is constantly evolving, with an emphasis on seamless and instant access to availability and pricing information. While traditional systems still have their place, the era of true real-time booking systems has arrived, with a focus on direct, real-time communication between booking and operating systems.
Three categories
There are three main categories of real-time booking systems: the 'one-way' solution, the 'two-way' solution and the new real-time 'SaaS solution', which is often referred to as a 'three-way' solution.
The 'one-way' solution offers some degree of automation, but lacks direct communication between booking and operating systems. This often leaves availability and other details dependent on manual actions, which can lead to delays and errors.
Realtime
On the other side is the better real-time solution, where booking and operating systems are directly linked in two-way communication. This allows for a seamless experience where availability, price and other details are immediately visible and bookable. This form of real-time booking systems offers unprecedented efficiency and convenience for all parties involved.
The new solution in the market is Onemeeting's SaaS solution: Connected. It is a 'Three-Way' total solution. Connected brings customers, bookers, locations and Onemeeting as an intermediary together in an integrated SaaS platform. This means that all reservation, operation, administration and financial processes are integrated into one process. In fact, Connected is a new generation meeting management system and franchise formula in one.
Looking ahead, we see that 'Three Way' solutions can provide important added value for all stakeholders in the meeting industry. The complexity of all meeting processes requires ingenious digital solutions. Connected is the first SaaS solution that provides the benefits of hyper-efficiency.
