"We are thrilled with the results we've seen since switching to SynXis. Recently we have experienced a growth in demand and interest in our product that required a booking engine whose capabilities could meet a variety of different customer and property needs. Guest Connect can accommodate both our individual property's needs as well as our brand."
Nils Henrik Geitle, Managing Director, DeHistoriske


De Historiske - Historic Hotels and Restaurants of Norway, a collection of 37 unique and distinguished properties across Norway, needed a solution to help drive revenue to their properties through their own booking engine. The chain was looking for a booking engine that would help them increase exposure to online customers, in addition to a distribution partner whose account management team was experienced and could assist them with implementing their strategy.

The Challenge

  • De Historiske needed a strong online technology solution to help grow its presence on the Internet.
  • De Historiske required a booking engine which would give property managers the flexibility to market each property to a diverse customer base.

The SynXis Solution

  • De Historiske switched its 37 properties across Norway to SynXis' Guest Connect booking engine
  • Took advantage of Guest Connect's vast merchandising features:
    • Implemented dynamic packaging to increase revenue per booking
    • Utilized promotional pricing to help fill need periods and synchronize online and offline distribution promotions
    • Offered multiple currency and language functionality to attract the international traveler
  • Will soon start using "Itinerary Booking" features to allow multiple property bookings across chain

 The Results

  • Seamless switchover period with no loss in revenue or business
  • Overall online revenue growth was almost 50% year on year in the first three months after switching to SynXis, with growth continuing steadily
  • Revenue per online booking increased on average by 13%
