Shiji partnership

October 29, 2024 – Meetingselect, the global meeting and event management platform and venue marketplace, is thrilled to announce a new integration partnership with Shiji Group, a global leader in hospitality technology solutions. The collaboration addresses the growing demand for efficient and automated meeting room management. With direct and instant bookings made possible by the Meeting Booking Widget, venues can handle large volumes of booking requests with ease and precision.   

“At Meetingselect, our goal is to provide venues with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world,” said Anne Beekman, Meetingselect’s Director Technology Partnerships. “By integrating with Shiji PMS, we’re helping venues enhance their efficiency and visibility, making it easier for them to attract and manage bookings from our extensive client base.” 

“We're excited to partner with Meetingselect to enhance venue booking capabilities. By integrating Shiji’s PMS with Meetingselect’s platform, we empower hotels to offer seamless, real-time venue bookings, boosting efficiency and guest satisfaction,” said Wietse Bijzeit, VP, Global Solutions Architect at Shiji Group.  

White-label Meeting Booking Widget 

The partnership extends beyond automation of the meeting booking platform. By offering venues the ability to fully customize their booking experience on their own website, Meetingselect provides them with the Meeting Booking Widget. This collaboration allows venues using Shiji to fully leverage this solution, which can be implemented within minutes. With this booking tool, venues can: 

• Tailor their offerings: Choose which meeting spaces and amenities to offer, create bespoke packages, and customize terms and conditions. 

• Apply branding: Incorporate brand colors, fonts, and styles, offering a seamless experience to customers directly on their websites. 

• Implement flexible pricing strategies: Venues can experiment with dynamic pricing based on occupancy, lead times, and day-of-week adjustments, enhancing their revenue management capabilities. 

• Receive bookings: Directly integrated into their own website, the widget allows venues to receive bookings directly and instantly.  

Efficient PMS integration 

This partnership enables venues using Shiji Enterprise Platform (SEP) to seamlessly connect to the Meetingselect platform, streamlining operations and enhancing visibility in the marketplace. 

Venues leveraging SEP can now directly connect to Meetingselect, benefitting from: 

• Increased efficiency: Meeting data is seamlessly updated between the property’s PMS and Meetingselect’s platform, reducing manual input with automated processes, saving time and minimizing errors. 

• Real-time availability and pricing: Venues can offer up-to-date information, including immediate confirmation of bookings, ensuring a smooth and accelerated experience for both the venue and the client. 

• Enhanced visibility: Connecting to Meetingselect opens venues to a large base of corporate and (semi-)government clients, significantly increasing booking opportunities.
