The Mantis Collection has partnered with Mr & Mrs Smith, a global boutique hotel specialist. The partnership will see Mantis’s new booking engine channel being powered by Mr & Mrs Smith’s proprietary technology, which will offer hotel members increased sales capability, and consumers an improved user experience.
The Mantis and Smith interface, which will first run in a test phase, will launch to the market in June.
The booking engine channel, called the Smith Availability Management System, was designed in liaison with an advisory panel of hoteliers to enable seamless inventory management. The sophisticated system currently interfaces with at least 18 channel management systems and can, subject to request, interface with many more.
“We have been inspired by what Smith Hotels has achieved over the last 10 years and feel privileged to be aligned with this dynamic group. The endorsement from the Smith brand and access to its technology is an invaluable asset to further properties joining the unique and luxurious Mantis Collection portfolio,” said Adrian Gardiner, Founder and Chairman of Mantis.
Tamara Heber Percy, Co-founder and CTO of Mr & Mrs Smith, said: ‘We’re excited by this opportunity to share our experience and technology with a hand-picked partner like Mantis Collection. Our specialist, in-house development team has created a system that offers complex functionality, and should provide Mantis’s world-wide collection of hotels with a user-friendly solution to inventory management and online bookings.
