Elektraweb, Turkey’s most comprehensive web-based and cloud-hosted hotel management software, has become the first choice of hotels with its speed, security, and mobility advantages. Talya Bilişim Managing Partner Nilüfer Durukal explained the reasons and benefits of Elektraweb’s preference to Hotel Gazetesi.
Elektraweb, Turkey’s most comprehensive web-based and cloud-hosted hotel management software, leads its field by offering users speed, security, and mobility advantages. It enables a facility to digitally manage all departments—from front office to channel management, online hotel reservations to e-invoicing, and purchasing to spa operations. Elektraweb is a fast, functional, and user-friendly application developed with the latest web technologies. With a wide product range offered through different packages, its modular structure provides customizable solutions suitable for various business concepts such as boutique hotels, resorts, glamping, and restaurants.
Nilüfer Durukal, Managing Partner at Talya Bilişim, emphasized the importance of web technologies in digital transformation, explaining that hotel automation systems have become an essential part of hotel management. There are currently 5,000 users of Elektraweb and the desktop version Elektra V5 Hotel Management System. She shared:
“The primary advantage of Elektraweb is that there is no initial investment cost. Facilities avoid expenses such as servers, server licenses, antivirus software, and backups, which need to be renewed every few years. To use the application, all you need is an internet connection and a smart phone, tablet, or computer. Its mobile usability especially facilitated administrative staff working easily from home during the pandemic. Elektraweb consists of modules that can manage all departments and operations of a hotel. Facilities can manage themselves with a single integrated program by using modules that suit their needs. This creates a fast and efficient management flow.”
Durukal noted that hotels are the most targeted facilities for data breaches in the tourism sector, due to the vast amount of personal and financial data they hold, making them targets of cyber attacks. She said,
“When web technologies are run on a cloud structure, it provides significant cost savings for businesses. More importantly, it keeps your data in a secure environment. Cloud systems are highly protected and maintain synchronized copies of data across different global locations, guaranteeing data security. Furthermore, the data processed and stored in Elektraweb is recorded according to Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).”
Elektraweb offers an AI-powered Smart Pricing Management system that instantaneously evaluates hundreds of variables to offer an optimal price. Nilüfer Durukal stated,
“With smart pricing management, we ensure that hotels sell at the most accurate prices. This technology increases hotel sales by 10% and profitability by 20%. Particularly in tourism, where last-minute bookings are frequent, artificial intelligence is becoming almost a necessity. The reservation-price balance, which became the sector’s biggest challenge during the pandemic, becomes a significant opportunity when well-managed. Talya Bilişim, a leading IT company in the tourism sector, enables hotels to sell at the optimum price through its AI-based smart pricing system. AI instantaneously interprets hundreds of variables that would be impossible for a human to evaluate simultaneously and offers the hotel an optimal price. For example, for a room traditionally sold at 200 euros, the smart pricing system may recommend a price of 350 euros after calculating all parameters. Or it can predict the occupancy rate if the room is sold at 300 euros. Doing this 365 days a year for every room greatly enhances the hotel’s profitability. This technology increases sales by 10% and profitability by 20%.”
