SMARTER EDGE - PassKey.com

As you might have seen from the November issue of Smart Meetings, Passkey is growing! The leader in online management of group reservations has come out with two new features for planners and hotels alike. “Event Express,” which debuted in October, lets hotels build customized group reservation websites in as little as three minutes. Template-style the new feature offers flexibility to planners and attendees who’ll use the URL, or web address link, to manage hotel bookings. In other words, any Passkey-enabled hotel can use this feature to link registration data with booking data, so information only has to be entered once—diminishing the chance of error and also saving time. Nice! Plus, you’re the first to know about the latest feature not yet released—“Roomlist Express,” which gives hotels and planners a safe, encrypted way to drop room lists (and the related confidential info) into a place that both parties can access through a secure URL. No more e-mailing or faxing those credit card numbers back and forth. passkey.com
