Winhotel CD-Soft Integration

Shorten reservation numbers

Winhotel still uses the Classic connection to Hypersoft, but sends reservation numbers that are too long. Therefore, activate the checkbox Shorten reservation numbers when connecting to Winhotel.

All other settings are carried out in the standard Classic connection.

Best Practice Winhotel Configure Data Transfer

The Protel transfer path to Protel should be specified so that it is on the Hypersoft server / main computer / main cash register in the Hypers-!\Hotel directory. On the Protel side, the PCON service should be installed on the Hypersoft server / main computer / main cash register. The advantage of this variant compared to data transfer on a network drive or UNC path is that after a restart of the server, the service immediately re-establishes the connection and ensures file exchange. In addition, this prevents authorisation problems or restrictions of the IIS with regard to network drives / UNC connections.

Best Practice Use YourAPP with Winhotel from CD-Soft

Turn your hotel into a digital hotel overnight with Hypersoft and Protel!

The combination of PMS and a powerful web app solution gives hotels the opportunity to expand their catering, additional services and internal communication in a structured manner.

Our YourAPP (your brand as its own app) is not just an ordering tool, but a digital extension of hotel operations. Strategic approach:

  • A hotel guest is already in the building.

  • He knows the environment.

  • He is available.

  • The question is not whether offers exist, but how they can be made visible and accessible.

A QR code in the room or in central areas provides direct access to the web app – without any installation hurdles. The application runs in a browser but behaves like a native app, which significantly lowers the barrier to use.

Structured offer management

YourAPP enables you to display offers in a targeted manner:

  • restaurant bookings

  • Table orders (in-house ordering)

  • Wellness or spa appointments

  • Event or ticket sales

  • Vouchers

  • loyalty programmes

  • retail products

  • Cross-location offers

The decisive factor is not functionality – the decisive factor is controllability. Items are only displayed if they are available. Product ranges can be adapted to resources at short notice. This does not create any additional organisational effort, but rather a controlled expansion of the existing system.

Economic outlook

The app is not primarily intended for image building, but rather for:

  • quality improvement

  • Increase in revenue per guest

  • better utilisation of internal areas

  • targeted communication of additional services

  • Reduction of operational friction losses

In conjunction with the PMS, a consistent system logic is created: Room → Information → Order → Booking → Billing

Integration ensures that ancillary services can be recorded and allocated in a structured manner.

Business benefits

Hotels that wish to actively manage their catering and additional services require:

  • visibility

  • easy accessibility

  • system integration

  • offer control

YourAPP expands the PMS with a sales-oriented level – without additional system breaks.

Digital reach in hotels is not achieved through technology, but through structured service management.
