WIDEBED Partner With Ezee To Accelerate Business Growth With New IT Initiative
WIDEBED has announced a collaboration with Ezee to advance its booking and channel management system in alignment with WIDEBED’s 2018 focus.

The collaboration brought to international guest utmost convenience to access to WIDEBED’s services through the common booking platforms that are already familiar with. eZee’s partnership with regionally popular Online Travel Agencies including Wotif from Australia and Ctrip from China will also further help WIDEBED’s branding to set foot into these regional markets across the globe.
eZee’s technological advantages will enable WIDEBED to further improve operational efficiency and cross-channel inventory management. By integrating all booking management functions into a single unified platform, WIDEBED can eliminate typical cross-platform challenges including room rate parity maintenance, over/double-booking of properties, and information update syncing.
Teams from both WIDEBED and eZee are looking to develop a comprehensive management system that elevate short stay management operational efficiency.

In an earlier announcement, the team was developing a short stay management system that provide real-time transparency for multi-properties management. With eZee’s technology onboard, WIDEBED’s management system will also be enhanced with a real-time rental status for the owner, with automated owner statements and report generation, enabling property owners to get precise information with ease, and offer industry leading transparency to clients.
Ivan explained, “We are delighted to announce our partnership with eZee, as a major stepping stone in achieving the objectives outlined in our 2018 focus. We aspire to provide quality short-stay experiences for every guest, while protecting the benefits to the property owner. That is the driving force behind the optimization of our internal capabilities. Doing so ensures we enhance our service quality for all parties. We look forward to taking our guests and property owners’ experiences to the next level of satisfaction.”
