Easy check-in systems and prepaid Visa dispensing make travel convenient

Sacramento, Calif. - June 19, 2005 - WebRaiser Technologies, Inc. today announced that a new self-service solution will be showcased in the Microsoft Pavilion at the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference in Los Angeles, June 20-23. WebRaiser has partnered with Olea and eCommLink to develop the new solution for Unisys, which plans to target hotels and the hospitality industry. At HITEC, WebRaiser will give live demos which highlight new features, and discuss growing potential in the industry.

The system integrates with hotel check-in systems to provide a convenient user experience, and uses eCommLink’s prepaid Visa platform to dispense stored value cards for patrons. The cards can be loaded with any amount of money via cash or credit, and used anywhere Visa is accepted.

“This is great for travel. When you arrive at the hotel, you can check in and create separate debit cards for everyone in your family, or use one for yourself so you can carry less cash. That makes it easier to track your spending,” said Gary De Blaquiere, co-founder and VP of Business Development at WebRaiser, which developed the core software platform. “We’re working to bring a new level of convenience to the hospitality industry.” The entire process, including check-in, takes about five minutes.

In addition to check-in and stored value card features, the system also provides a concierge feature to assist guests, links to tours and local information, and a filtered web browser which can be customized to display a hotel website. The internet-enabled kiosks can be managed remotely, and include industry-strength security and recovery functions for consistent, reliable performance. All of these functions can be bundled or served a la carte by hotel property.

Unisys selected WebRaiser to provide software for the self-service project, taking advantage of the company’s VendiSoft platform for rapid, secure development. The new kiosk software communicates with back-office financial systems at eCommLink, and integrates smoothly with built-in hardware peripherals, including a bill acceptor for cash transactions, and card dispensers which provide stored value Visa cards and hotel keys. “We needed to deliver a strong, reliable solution for Unisys which worked well with our partners,” said De Blaquiere. “VendiSoft made it simple to bring everything together.”
