Web Updates and WebSync
MotelMate has the ability to go online to send and retrieve booking information
from the following Websites. WebSync is the name of a special
server hosted by Skagerrak Software as a sort of web data exchange to translate
the information that MotelMate sends into a format that the various websites
can read. This lightens the load of data sent from your Motelmate considerably
and makes such updates much quicker.
