B4checkin, a Halifax company that offers Software-as-a-Service solutions to the hospitality industry, is installing one of its main products in two prestigious Canadian hotels – One King West Hotel & Residences in Toronto and the Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff, Alta.

The company issued a statement last week saying the two hotels were installing b4easypost, which it called the industry’s first online payment and posting software solution.

B4easypost is an online platform that allows guests and meeting planners to seamlessly make deposits and payments to a hotel. The platform then automatically and securely posts those payments to the property management system. This eliminates the need for paper credit card authorization forms, which are inconvenient, prone to human error and contrary to payment card industry compliance standards.

The company also said the solution reduces credit card chargebacks to the hotel and saves the establishment money.

“In an age where hotel properties – or any company for that matter – are still dealing with paper-based credit card authorization forms or having to manually post transactions into their PMS and accounting systems, our software is the only fully integrated and PCI-compliant solution,” said b4checkin CEO Saar Fabrikant in the statement. “As guests now expect every form of payment to be available to them online with a safe and seamless presentation, there is no reason why all properties shouldn’t do their best to uphold strict data security standards without manual work.”

The Rimrock and One King West, which have 343 and 355 rooms respectively, join a range of properties using b4easypost.

B4checkin offers several products to hotels around the world. In November, the company said it had installed its hotel booking engine chameleon in two large American casino hotels – Black Bear Casino Resort in Carleton, Minn., and Pahrump Nugget Hotel Casino in Pahrump, Nev.
