The Apartment Service

The Apartment Service, the UK’s first company to offer global apartment reservations and Europe’s largest apartment booking company, has selected Sapphire Group to provide it with a bespoke online reservation service that combines front and back office functionality with web based distribution.

Sapphire Group will use its proven onshore offshore methodology to develop a new web-site which will provide functions to search for an apartment and, for the first time, check the availability in real time and then book the accommodation. For apartment owners the new inventory management function will allow high volume owners to use an XML feed to automatically pull information from their existing reservation systems as well as low volume owners to manage their inventory manually via The Apartment Service’s extranet.
