Booking engines for hotels, spas and resorts
A booking journey developed and built around each property's rooms, packages, treatments and rates, connected live to the systems behind them.
Booking engines for spa hotels, resorts and groups
Data First develops bespoke booking engines for independent hotels, spa hotels, resorts and hospitality groups. Each one is built around how that property sells, whether that's overnight stays, spa days, packages or a mix across several sites, and integrated with the PMS and spa systems already in place. The aim is simple: more bookings made direct, on the property's own website.
Rooms, spa days and treatments booked in one journey, with live availability from the spa system.
Packages and add-ons presented the way the property sells them, alongside rooms and treatments.
Booking across several properties, each with its own rooms, rates and brand, managed consistently.
Booking engines built on the PMS and spa systems already in place, including Agilysys and ResortSuite.

Built to connect, supported to grow
Booking engines, answered
Do you build bespoke or work with off-the-shelf booking engines?
Both. We develop fully bespoke booking engines, and we also support and develop around off-the-shelf engines such as Agilysys.
Who owns the booking engine?
The client does. We develop, build and support it, and the property keeps ownership.
Which systems can it connect to?
We've built booking engines integrated with Agilysys and ResortSuite, and connected them to spa, CRM and payment systems. Each project starts with the systems the property already uses.
How are guest payments handled?
Payments go through the client's payment provider. Card details are captured by the provider, not stored by the booking engine.
Can a booking engine be added to an existing website?
Yes. We can build a booking engine into a website we've built, or integrate it with an existing site.
What happens after launch?
Support after launch is provided through a Data First Support Contract, covering maintenance and scheduled support.
Does a bespoke booking engine help with AI search?
It can. A bespoke booking engine can be built so search engines and AI assistants can read rooms, packages and offers, and client observations suggest bespoke engines perform better for AI visibility and organic bookings than off-the-shelf ones.
