Cygnet’s Solution
Our CRM consultants learnt the processes and performed
comprehensive gap analysis of the existing PHP system and
after close examination, single solution on Dynamics CRM
and a Booking Application hosted on the Dynamics CRM was
proposed to solve all their current issues. After the client
approval, the project was executed in the following manner:
To develop and customize this whole system, Cygnet worked
dedicatedly for six months.
To centralize all the processes and to integrate all the room
inventory management processes, the existing inventory
set-up process was migrated from PHP to Dynamics CRM
Post migration, certain customization was done to aid the
members perform inventory adding task seamlessly. An
Inventory Set-up Module with fields like inventory code, unit
value, check-in/check-out dates, number of nights’ calculator,
set-up discard reasons, was developed which allowed the
staff to add accurate room availability information. The
module also included the facility to view, edit and import
available inventory lists as per the user roles
To upload room inventory in associated brands of hotels and
third-party hotels, a QVI and Cross-use feature was
developed
An expansive Search feature was integrated to allow users to
search for room inventories in a particular hotel. Several
criteria such as, calendar to select check-In and check-out
dates, country drop-down, hotel/resort name, reference code
and unit type were provided. Besides, an Inventory Request
feature was developed in case the CEA failed to find an
inventory in a particular list
To avoid duplicate entry and double-booking, the conflict
management feature allowed System Admin to merge and
update the data uploaded by CEA team before final
submission in the system
To help the members manage room reservation tasks easily,
a dynamic calendar was developed that displayed different
colors depending on Request Status and Respond Status

team members on a single platform which
