The second product to be launched at this global gathering of the World’s bests is RoomStatus, a recently patented Hotelroom reservation system that puts simplicity behind hospitality management. RoomStatus represents a new thinking in Hotel Room Reservation Management providing hospitality operators and hotel owners with a simple yet powerful technology to manage customers, facilities and revenue in real time.

 Adding that “We are extremely excited about the opportunity to put QjuickAir on global display – Its a revolutionary platform that will forever change the way and manner domestic travel is bought and sold around the world. This is a product that will essentially bridge the yawning gap between Low Cost Carriers the world over and travel agents who (for lack of a central platform) are unable to ticket these airlines”.
We are so sure of QuickAir and we look forward to a rave review of the product by global aviation experts. Having been a player in the aviation industry for a while, we are stepping forward to bridge a gap to ensure the continued survival of this sector for the benefit of operators and travelers.

Our RoomStatus application is a cloud-based technology that requires no installation for usage. It is the first time that any travel tech firm anywhere in the world is going the extra mile of allowing customers the opportunity of picking their desired room ahead of arrival at the hotel. The days of the receptionist selecting the rooms for customer is coming to a quickend. We are all looking forward to presenting this global product to the entire world. RoomStatus is built for the world market.

Ability to pick your desired hotelroom ahead of arrival is the way to go, and we are glad to lead the charge.

The launching of the RoomStatus (formerly, FrontDesk Manager) in London will precede the release of this wonderful software into the Nigerian market. We are extremely proud of the fact that we have been able to work our way from a small Nigerian company to a veritable icon in the Travel Technology sub sector.
