Genbook.com - Helping businesses integrate their services online

Businesses in the service industry, such as event venues, hotels, airlines, and restaurants, have the potential to become much more efficient when paired with Internet-based search and booking platforms. Now these businesses can use Genbook to create their own online booking applications with software from various vendors. The idea is that businesses do not need to have any knowledge of web writing, and can simply enter in their information and let the web application take care of the rest (and bring in tons of clients who find the listing through a search engine). Genbook offers a “pay-per-booking” product which allows local businesses to capture online bookings in real-time. The product will be distributed through online directories and local search engines, and businesses will pay a fee per booking.

“Genbook provides pay-per-bookingâ„¢ technology and services to the world"s leading online Yellow Pages, directory and search organizations.”

By linking listings and actual bookings, Genbook could provide enormous amounts of exposure and clients for businesses in the service industry. The businesses will find it easy to use and the booking fees will bring in revenue to keep the site going.

Will this require more work for businesses if they are already structured to receive bookings through an online server and now they have to accommodate bookings from another source?
