GraceSoft selected to be an endorsed vendor of online booking solutions for the Christian Hospitality Network. Grace Software, Inc. announces a new partnership with the Christian Hospitality Network. 

CHN is a non-profit 501(c) (3) ministry joined by Christian innkeepers who believe hospitality is a Christian virtue. CHN is the largest Christian association in the United States promotes over 1800 lodging properties to travelers throughout the U.S through Easy WebRez Online Reservation System. 

Grace Software, Inc.’s partnership will provide CHN  members with improved customer service for online bookings, same-day activation for new properties and lower commissions. Its web site, chrisitanlodging.com will also receive a fresh new look and design!

The Christian Hospitality Network (CHN) was designed to help keep Kingdom workers healthy and productive with a little rest and relaxation. We believe that hospitality is a Christian virtue. CHN has contacted like-minded Christian innkeepers all around the world, and many have agreed to offer at least a 25% discount to pastors, missionaries and other full-time Christian workers mid-week and off-season when they are not as crowded. Christian Hospitality Network is providing the Christian Traveler with a lit of B&B inn locations that are owned by people who endeavor to operate their establishments with Christian hospitality.

Easy WebRez will benefit properties throughout the South Eastern Region – and provide their potential guests with more opportunity to book rooms easily from christainlodging.org,” reports Gideon Stanley CEO. It’s great to be in partnership with an organization that truly serves its members – and contributes greatly to the tourism industry in this great Country! ”

The implementation of Easy WebRez in christianlodging.org is scheduled for the year , 2005 . CHN staff will have the ability to activate new properties within the same day on the Easy WebRez system. Property managers can customize ALL aspects of their online booking pages – including property description, policy and all room and rate information. The result is a display that is easily modified and provides timely and accurate booking information to the guest.

Reservation managers from various locations can update availability from a web browser. Reservation requests are either emailed or faxed to the property. Automatic uploads are available for properties that use Easy InnKeeping software!

GraceSoft helps its clients realize the competitive opportunity of an interactive property listing. “After implementing online reservation and Internet marketing strategies, CHN clients should see a boost in Internet-based reservations,” says Gideon Stanley, CEO. Through this program, over 1 million "room nights" are available annually for Kingdom workers to rest. Our goal is for you to enjoy the God-given gift of hospitality provided by Christian innkeepers. We want to see you strengthened and encouraged so you can remain mentally, emotionally and spiritually refreshed.

When you make contact, be sure to tell the inn that you found them through the Christian Hospitality Network.
