Instant Software develops ISILink for vacation rental home managers

The Florida-based technology firm provides reservation management systems for the vacation rental industry.

According to the company, vacation rental management companies can now connect with travel global distribution channels via ISILink. An official release states: ISILink acts as a database linking property information and rental availability to various sales distribution channels. With ISILink, the door is open for small vacation rental operators to reach travel agents and travel agencies efficiently and effectively.

''The entire line of Instant Software Group's products, including First Resort Software, Entech and Property Plus, will now have a method to reach the GDS. ISILink can also provide vacation rental properties easy access to other key distribution systems such as web based agencies and portals,'' states the company.

"Smaller vacation rental property companies have always been at a decided disadvantage when it came to the travel distribution channels not only because of their size, but the type of accommodations offered made it difficult to provide the critical mass needed to pave the way for access to the GDS system," said Dave Hopcroft, founder and President of Instant Software. "ISILink gives us critical mass and gives our partners the flexibility to compete anywhere they want."

"Vacation home managers want to use multiple distribution channels at the same time and ISILink makes this easy and most importantly, allows independent owners to reach a wider audience through distribution channels," said Hopcroft.
