Zaui Internet Booking Engine

The engineers at Zaui had set out on a new design of the booking engine with two key goals in mind:  increase conversions, decrease friction points. “The goal for our customers is to leverage the Zaui booking engine in an effort to increase online revenue streams and maximize their potentials, while still maintaining clear control on inventory across all sales channels”, said Mr. Fawcett.  “This new engine is the fastest, most elegant and friction free engine todate and will serve as a launching platform for our online inititives coming in late 2009 and early 2010″.
