Existing property management systems (PMS) lacked modern, user-friendly booking solutions.

Developing an in-house, scalable booking engine was a complex task requiring specialized expertise.

Cressco developed a tailor-made booking system that integrates seamlessly with company existing PMS, enabling:

A fully functional direct booking platform that provides a smooth user experience.
A modern and intuitive interface, optimized for mobile and desktop.
Integration with payment gateways, ensuring secure and seamless transactions.
Automated calendar synchronization with external booking platforms.
