[c.schinzer]

I remember reading something of the sort of "OpenSource Travel Agency" in
the demo material.
However, what exactly are you looking for here:

I assume the modules you mention would be specific functionality for
Property Management, e.g.
* managing room occupation
* managing cleaning and housekeeping
* reservation of rooms/beds
* billing and cash
etc. ?

As I believe OFBiz is looking at regular businesses and knowing the in
Travel things tend to be very different, I doubt there would anything be
lying around ready-for-use except accoutning.

If you are willing to open a "Travel business stream" in a separate project
and as an extension to OFBiz, I would be interested to take part !

Regards


Carsten

we are almost there with a PMS first version based on ofbiz, we call  
this product Iguana Inn. but it is already a 3 years effort of 4  
programmers, a manager and and. it is all prepared to be offered under  
apache licensing for the community at a later stage, but before we get  
there i need to recover commercially from all this development. if you  
check back one year ago and little longer in jira entries, you will  
see some posting from vsirkova, we tried to get together with the  
community but there was no real interest in our efforts at that  
moment. you are welcome to be part of our efforts and also to get  
commercially in touch with us.
regards, manuel desdin.

It isn't possible to have more than one Browse Root category,  that  
category can have as many child categories as you like though.

Hi Manuel,

Originally i designed the 'shared' ofbiz system (opentravelsystem.org)
based on ofbiz, also multi-tenant, for hosting travel agencies and
hotels for ecommerce. I stopped further developing it.
The Hotel PMS is a well established and conservative market currently
badly hit by the bad economy. I did several investigations and it will
be very difficult to market your system as a commercial product.

If you could make your product open source now you would have a much
better chance to succeed, even more when you would include it into ofbiz
as a special purpose component. Your company should specialize on the
installation and service to local Hotels and help others with the
implementation. If your extension is a special purpose component with
ofbiz you would have support from the OFBiz community and your
maintenance costs will be much lower. Further you will get support of
ofbiz experts in the further development and you can guarantee your
customers support from many companies. You still would have the most
knowledge about the system and give expert advice.

You could also consider implementing the opentravel standard as
published on opentravel.org. As far as i know there is not yet an open
source opentravel system.

I would like to offer you help to include it into ofbiz and that your
implementation agrees with the ofbiz standards.

please reconsider the marketing of your product.

Regards,
Hans

Hi Hans,

I realized you've done opentravel system based Ofbiz i tried to download new
Ofbiz version but it does't have Opentravel. Would you tell me whether this
system is still an Open Source, if so is there a way i can get a copy?
Please suggest. Thanks.

I think OFBiz is very well suited for a PMS system, not only accounting,
but also the already available reservation and the functions in
workeffort can easily be customized for room cleaning and maintenance.

The POS system can be customized for the reception desk and the
ecommerce for the Hotel website.
