Comparison across main areas
| Comparing parameter | BookinIT | PHOBS |
|---|---|---|
| What is it? |
BookinIT is a Software platform tailored for travel agencies. It allows your clients to independently search, book, and pay for travel packages through a seamless user experience on your website. It increases both B2C and B2B online sales, streamlining operations, and reducing staff workload through automated offer publication and reservation processing. Additionally, BookinIT equips agency employees with a centralized management interface, enabling efficient control of all offers, availability, pricing, and bookings in one place. |
PHOBS is a platform for hotels, which combines a direct booking engine, channel manager, and related hotel-specific tools to increase room reservations and optimize rates. Intended for hotels, resorts, and similar hospitality providers. |
| Product functions |
BookinIT provides an Intelligent Search and booking interface for tours, packages, accommodations, and flights, connecting both in-house offers and external supplier feeds. Key functions include Advanced dynamic filters, step-by-step booking wizard, automatic offer grouping, and real-time inventory and price synchronization. The platform focuses on delivering higher online sales with a perfect customer experience, efficient offer management, and effortless online sales for both B2C and B2B channels. |
Booking Engine with customizable rates/policies, Channel Manager (sync rates & inventory to OTAs), Yield Manager (automated revenue management), Reservation app for managing bookings, and integration with Google Hotel Ads. |
| Suppliers options & communication |
BookinIT can integrate to any supplier via API. BookinIT makes it easy to search and display offers with dynamic prices and avalilability from providers' inventories in one simple intutive system. Reservations are made automatically in suppliers systems so you do not need to write or call. |
PHOBS itself is for the hotel supplier. It integrates with OTAs (Expedia, etc.) and meta channels as mentioned. It also can be integrated with the hotel’s PMS. PHOBS’s job is to centralize the hotel’s distribution channels, acting as the hotel’s connection to various sales outlets. It communicates with third-party booking platforms on the hotel’s behalf. |
| Direct flight bookings |
Yes — via integrations. BookinIT connects to external flight content (e.g., GDS/consolidators or content hubs like Traffics) to enable live search, pricing, and booking of flights. Ticketing/PNR issuance is handled through the connected supplier/GDS. For charter/allotment flights, BookinIT can also display and manage seat availability as part of packages. |
PHOBS is only for accommodations. It does not book flights. |
| CRM |
BookinIT stores customer details from bookings/inquiries, but no dedicated CRM module for leads or marketing. Can be connected to CRM system. |
Not a full CRM, but hotels can see guest reservations, contact info, and maybe note preferences. |
| Quoting |
BookinIT includes quoting: create multi-option offers, keep prices and availability live, and send proposals. |
Doesn’t have a quote module. |
| Operations |
BookinIT manages bookings (reservations, inquiries) in a simple queue. Suited for simpler operations. |
Basic reservations management – PHOBS tracks reservations and integrates with the hotel’s operations in that it can deliver bookings to the Property Management System. But it doesn’t manage hotel operations like housekeeping or check-in (that’s PMS territory). |
| Finances & Accounting |
BookinIT can record booking payments, but invoices or payables management are not automated. External accounting software would be used for financials (through integration with BookinIT). Supports multi-currency. |
Handles payments for bookings (through integrated payment gateways) and can generate basic revenue reports. But it doesn’t do full accounting. |
| Inventory |
Not an inventory system but instead BookinIT connects and organizes travel offers from various sources — including your own offers & inventory systems & external providers like Phobs, Traffics, ORS or any other supplier. |
Yes – Designed for room inventory management. PHOBS keeps track of rooms availability across all channels via the channel manager, and the booking engine updates inventory in real-time as guests book. It ensures inventory parity between the hotel’s website and external OTAs. |
| Web plugin |
Yes – BookinIT is built as a web CMS/booking engine. It integrates into the agency’s website seamlessly (WordPress-based with shortcodes and widgets). Essentially acts as the website’s booking frontend. |
PHOBS’s booking engine is meant to integrate into the hotel’s existing website with ease. It’s essentially a widget or set of pages that can be customized to match the hotel’s site design, allowing guests to book rooms directly on the hotel’s site. |
| Sales functions & channels |
BookinIT supports direct online sales through an expert-designed web interface that enables customers to book step-by-step with 24/7 reservations and online payments. Supports marketing features like last minute. In addition, it allows partner sales via embedded iFrames and API integrations, so your offers can be resold directly on partner websites. BookinIT also supports exporting offers to external platforms through OTDS file transfers via Traffics integration, including return links for receiving bookings, inquiries, and search data. |
Focuses on maximizing direct hotel sales (room bookings). Provides tools like promotional rate plans, discount codes. Covers both direct channel (hotel’s website) and indirect channels via its channel manager. |
| Channel manager |
BookinIT is not a channel manager but it has it's functionality. It does connect to other Channel Managers like PHOBS gathering the content from channels into your website. Additionally, BookinIT provides opportunity to share offers with B2B partners. |
Yes – a core component is the Channel Manager. PHOBS actively syncs the hotel’s inventory and rates to multiple OTA/external channels to avoid overbooking and maintain rate parity. |
| Price |
One-time setup fee based on scope + monthly support fee starting from €500. |
Pricing is quote-based and depends on property size, number of rooms, etc. |
