Thynk Direct

Thynk Direct allows you to…
To create a full booking for one specific property. Great if the booker knows exactly what they want!
It creates revenue as it can be used with Instant Booking whereby the customer can add in billing details.
It shows live availability so it gives them complete information they need to book their business.
The booker can book their guest rooms, events, packages, and products from Thynk Direct.
A booking from Thynk Direct appears automatically in Thynk as a booking with a booking Source = Thynk Direct. The hotel also gets an email notification with a URL link to the booking in Thynk.
In Thynk the hotel’s sales team handles it as a normal booking.
Thynk Direct is only available as a separate solution, and it’s not embedded in the customer website.

This solution is used if the customer is happy to allow the booker to book certain business directly into the property.
Thynk Lead
Thynk Lead is a solution for companies that don’t necessarily want to give direct booking capabilities to a booker online but wants to give them the ability to detail out their leads/inquiries.
Thynk Leads allows the booker to detail out what they are looking to book such as dates, the number of guests, preferred location(s), and budget. And, in the long description field they can enter in further requirements.
Thynk leads appear in Thynk as a regular Inquiry with an inquiry Source = Thynk Lead. The hotel also gets an email notification with a URL link to the lead/inquiry in Thynk.
In Thynk the customer’s sales team handles it as a normal inquiry, by checking space, following up with the customer, etc as a regular sales task.
Thynk Leads can be converted into bookings in Thynk, just like the regular Inquiry.
Thynk Lead can be embedded through an i-frame solution into the customer’s website or be a separate environment. Even if it’s a separate solution, it can be branded to match the customer’s requirements by adding their logo, photo, and company colors.
