"Since using the eviivo software, we have really seen a difference in the bookings: they have been up by 30-40%!"

The AA and eviivo have joined forces to launch a national marketing initiative to drive the profitability of the small, independent accommodation sector in the UK.
eviivo provides small hotels, B&Bs, guesthouses, inns and cottages with a revolutionary product: an easy-to-use, inexpensive property management and reservation system that is also an online booking system. It currently enables 20% of the UK’s independent accommodation sector – over 5,000 businesses! – to sell their rooms online via their own website and by connecting them to leading travel and leisure websites. With eviivo, the manual updating of multiple sales and distribution channels is a thing of the past! By updating the diary, all distribution channels are automatically updated with real-time, last-room availability – saving you time and hassle!
We charge a nominal fee for initial training and set up, varied by the size of your business:
- Properties with 9 rooms or under: £95 + VAT
- Properties with 10-19 rooms: £195 + VAT
- Properties with 20 rooms or more: £295 + VAT
A small service fee applies to each online booking. This service fee covers all of your software licensing, ongoing training, support, system upgrades and additional services from eviivo.
With eviivo, you can offer your guests a reliable, straightforward way to check your availability, rates, and special offers instantly. The simple booking process gives guests the confidence to book directly online – not only on your own website but across all of eviivo‘s partner distribution websites – making long-winded and time-consuming emails or phone enquiries unnecessary! Upon booking, a confirmation email is automatically sent to the guest and the payment is made directly into your bank account. What’s more, the booking is added automatically to your diary and an SMS notification keeps you up-to-date!
With eviivo, you receive your own unique booking webpages, which provide your guests with comprehensive, reliable information about your property, services and facilities, as well as information on the local area, directions and a lot more. Available in 12 languages, they are displayed on your own website and many eviivo partner distribution websites, thereby putting your business in front of the widest possible audience. You can easily edit the information and images displayed on these webpages at any time. Most importantly, you have the opportunity to upload many high-quality images of your property to ensure ‘lookers’ turn into ‘bookers’!
