Powering direct revenue and data continuity across leading independent properties and global hotel groups

The Market Reality

Your Inbox Is Your Highest-Converting Booking Engine.

Hoteliers spend millions optimizing their website checkout while ignoring the channel that drives their highest-value direct bookings. According to the European HOTREC Distribution Study, direct email inquiries consistently rival or outperform web booking engines in market share.

If your team takes hours to manually price, check inventory, and construct an email offer, your conversion rate collapses by up to 50% within the very first hour — forcing hot leads into an 18% OTA commission loop, or losing them entirely to a faster-responding competitor.
Germany / DACH Track
27.2%

of all hotel revenue in Germany happens via direct email — your single largest direct sales channel, outperforming the traditional website booking engine.

Pan-European Track
21.7%

of all hotel revenue across Europe is driven directly through the inbox (15.8% direct email + 5.9% contact forms).

Excludes wholesale partner bookings, tour operator allocations, and group sales contracts — a conservative baseline.
Breaking the Manual Email Volley

Eliminate the Back-and-Forth. Let Guests Book Themselves.

A traditional inquiry means an agent checks the PMS, types a reply, and waits — often chasing card details by email, a step that risks PCI-DSS compliance. HERA replaces the volley with a single, self-service loop.

1

Inquiry arrives

A guest email lands in Outlook or Gmail — individual, group, or partner request.

2

HERA builds the offer

Rates and availability are checked automatically and a branded proposal is generated in seconds.

3

Guest confirms & pays

The guest selects a room and enters card details through a PCI-DSS and GDPR compliant checkout — no agent required.

4

PMS updates instantly

Reservation, guest profile, and tokenized payment are injected straight into Opera, Protel, Mews, and more.
