A detailed description of properties
Hotel Data Cloud allows the creation of a detailed description of the hotel properties: the number of stars, types of rooms, contacts, loyalty cards, the closest airports, and many more features, so hotel owners have full 24/7-hour control over their property listings on third-party websites.
Easy updates
Hotel Data Cloud makes it possible to simultaneously update and distribute the details, like parking places or check-in times, on thousands of booking channels with a single click. The automation of content distribution saves thousands of hours that previously were wasted on manual uploading and now can be spent on other important tasks.
Multi Language translation
With the help of Hotel Data Cloud, it’s easy to translate all the descriptions into multiple languages to your booking partners—you can request either translation or editorial support directly from within HDC.

Challenges and Solutions
The complex structure of hotel databases
Problem:
All hotels have different properties, and these properties have different characteristics. Due to a large amount of various information that should have been processed and structured in the database, it was difficult to create one template for all the hotels and implement the relational database.
Solution:
Our team used a NoSQL database to facilitate data processing and improve data storage efficiency.
Communication with Firebase
Problem:
There was a problem with the Ruby on Rails support of Firebase.
Solution:
We made a Node.js wrapper, so when Ruby on Rails needed to communicate with Firebase, Node.js was a mediator for it.
Results
Our team created a large hotel database that helps the hotel owners to facilitate their property information management, which completely met our client’s goal. The simple and intuitive UI gives hotel owners options to enter detailed information about the hotel and easily distribute it to third-party resources, empowering the utmost quality and wide functionality of the platform.
