Set up the connection yourself FREE OF CHARGE using our self help instructions below.
- In order for the 2 systems to be connected the property will have to form a relationship with Welman by contacting them directly – click here to contact.
- Once the login details to their Webrooms application have been provided, the rooms and rates will need to be set up. Its important to match Webrooms room capacities with iBex so that bookings are correct. The settings can be found in the Room Capacities page.
- A few of the settings on the Rate Defaults page can be ignored. Please see the Additional Information section about rate.
- You can check the daily rates and availability in the Worksheet page.
- When the property is ready for connection, go to the Connections page and select iBex as Channel Manager and also the PMS Provider if its the same. Its purely informational for Welman to troubleshoot the connection. (For eg an OLP account connected to Motel Mate will select Motel Mate as their PMS). Save the settings.
- The interface credentials (highlighted in the image below) are needed for the mapping page in iBex will then be available on the same page under the section Inventory Source Mapping and Connection Health. (You can forward that information to any email address by clicking on the Email button below it.)
