Kross Booking combines a property management system, channel manager, and booking engine for hotels and other accommodation businesses. Its PMS includes a reservation planner, accounting documents, statistics, parking management, housekeeping, local and breakfast reports, and multi-property management. The channel manager downloads reservations and updates rates and availability through XML connections to online travel agencies, including Booking.com and Expedia. The booking engine supports direct website reservations, mobile-optimized booking, packages, discount codes, online check-in, and reservation editing or cancellation under configured policies. It can accept PayPal and other virtual POS payments and request a card to guarantee a reservation. A mobile app offers push notifications, guest check-in and check-out, tax documents, and dashboard, planner, and channel manager controls. Kross Booking is cloud-based and works in a browser, including on mobile, but needs an internet connection. The maker says installation, hardware, activation and training costs, and minimum contract commitments are not required; updates are included and automatic. Basic costs 4.00 EUR per month per room or apartment, VAT excluded, with a three-unit minimum and no Channel Manager or Booking Engine. Premium costs 6.00 EUR per month per unit, VAT excluded, with the same minimum.
