Innovating in a dynamic business environment
ehotel®’s AI-driven meta-search technology is at the heart of its pioneering approach. By aggregating hotel content from over 600 central reservation systems, ehotel® offers access to more than 2.1 million accommodation options globally. This enables businesses to compare rates effortlessly across platforms while gaining a real-time, transparent view of costs. “Our mission has always been to simplify the booking process and ensure transparency, compliance, and efficiency,” says Fritz Zerweck, CEO of ehotel®.
Tailor-made solutions are seamlessly integrated into all major Online Booking Tools (OBTs). This ensures compatibility with existing corporate systems and workflows. For companies with complex travel needs, the technology guarantees adherence to corporate travel policies. It supports a wide range of requirements, from budget limits to cancellation guidelines, while empowering companies to make cost-effective decisions without compromising quality. Travel managers and TMCs can focus on strategic initiatives, while companies and employees benefit from streamlined processes that cover every step – from booking to invoice verification.
Simplifying Corporate Travel with ehotel® Central Billing
ehotel® Central Billing (ECB) is a globally adaptable solution designed to streamline and automate corporate travel processes. Supporting businesses before, during, and after bookings, the system ensures seamless integration into existing corporate structures. Key booking data—such as cost centres, employee IDs, or project numbers – is automatically assigned and securely transmitted to both the client and the hotel. Simultaneously, a virtual credit card guarantees payment, ensuring smooth transactions and minimising manual effort.
After the trip, ehotel® manages invoice verification, resolves discrepancies directly with hotels, and provides consolidated invoices tailored to each company’s reporting requirements. This service provides worldwide support, with robust coverage across Europe – including the UK – and key markets globally. Through strong international partnerships, we ensure reliable, consistent service no matter where your business operates. By adapting to regional tax regulations, including VAT recovery, ehotel® ensures efficient and compliant billing for companies operating across multiple markets.
Through its comprehensive automation and international scalability, ehotel® Central Billing empowers organisations and their TMCs to streamline operations, maintain compliance, and focus on strategic objectives – all while retaining full control over their travel programmes.
