SuperControl API Development to WordPress Website
Impact integrated SuperControl booking and channel manager to a WordPress Website for Dorset Cottage Holidays, who advertise 60 properties through their website.
In this API integration we pull all accommodation information from SuperControl such as property description, amenities, availability, and pricing, to display on the WordPress front end.
We also carry out a number of calculations to show a variety of discounts (based on date ranges, no of nights requested etc) in area and date search results. We also add in internal fees and bookings fees, to ensure the customer sees the correct price advertised on the web front-end.
On booking, the customer carries out the transaction on SuperControl's servers, making it a secure transaction and GDPR compliant.
This time the work was done using the WordPress Plugin framework, however on other projects this has been done as a PHP Chron Job or as a .net server app.

Villa rental website with 128 exclusive properties overseas.
In 2009, I moved my business from a company in India, and engaged Impact Technology to maintain and develop my vacation rental website. Since then the website has undergone many large changes from a complete redesign, to simplifying booking functionality and enhancing usability features. There have also been many back end changes, simplifying key administration tasks, including the creation of a variety of complex reporting and financial functions.
More recently we have been focused on social aspects and enhancing the delivery of guest services to our customers before arrival and during their stay. Impact have developed bespoke forums for us so that guests can ask questions of other guests prior to booking, and integrated live chat software to the website to support pre-sales. We are about to launch a bespoke private messaging system that will allow guests to communicate, both with each other and key members of staff, before, during and after their visit.
I have found Impact’s input into all of these changes invaluable. Andy will always find the most efficient and budget conscious solution to a problem, and Jo has often been a sounding board for looking at things from the customers perspective. Thus far it’s been a mutually beneficial relationship and I am confident it will continue to be so.
