Full answer
Group booking software is designed to manage reservations for multiple guests efficiently, often requiring accurate contact information including international phone numbers. Supporting international phone number formats means the software must accept phone numbers starting with the '+' sign, which indicates the country code. This is vital for hotels and venues handling global bookings through their GSO or channel hub systems. With the right validation in place, rooming lists containing '+' prefixed numbers upload smoothly. To support this, group booking software should implement validation rules that allow the '+' character alongside digits, spaces, and dashes. Thynk’s group booking software, built on Salesforce, connects seamlessly with PMS and CRS systems, and its phone number fields accept international formats. Thynk is built on Salesforce and is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II compliant, providing secure and reliable data handling. This capability enhances lead management and supports MICE event coordination, while also enabling accurate revenue analytics and smooth Cvent RFP integration. By accommodating international phone formats, group booking software improves global client communication and operational efficiency.
