“This was such an outstanding year for our company and our clients,” explains Jim Barsch, President of NextPax. “We are delivering growth year after year in terms of new partners: connected channels, property managers, hotels and new payment providers. We are the leading distribution partner for large management companies, such as Awaze Group, because we provide the most streamlined and profitable way to optimize online exposure and bookings, with the unique advantage of direct bookings on their own websites to strengthen their brands.”
Recognized as the most advanced and cost-effective solution on the market, NextPax utilizes a pay-per-performance model instead of charging monthly fees, and the company’s clients appreciate this as it aligns business interests between the companies. The extraordinary year of success was partially attributable to their powerful automation and integrations to top PMS’. The highly responsive support services team rapidly builds and updates content using the strength of the automation to achieve record onboarding times to the NextPax platform and onto the various distribution channels. Once connectivity is established, properties never have to wait more than 24 to 48 hours for content to updated between their PMS and distribution channels they are on. This speed is unmatched in the industry today and shows their connectivity is not only seamless but also highly scalable.
“Exciting things are coming up for 2020,” continues Barsch. “In addition to our ongoing expansion in the US, we are working with large partners and set to roll out on an extensive scale in APAC. We are dedicated to continued product innovation and customer success, and are looking forward to another year of tremendous growth. Our objective is to transform the hospitality industry and be the preferred gateway to connect property managers of virtually any type of property all over the world.”
