Overview
How each tool is described
Ring2Travel
What is Ring2Travel?
Ring2Travel is the hotel-focused customer experience and contact center within the Paratyworld group, working alongside Paraty Tech’s direct-booking technology. Hotels can outsource their telephone reservation channel to Ring2Travel or use its Call Seeker software to professionalize an in-house reservations team.
- Reservation and call-center service: Ring2Travel’s specialized agents handle incoming reservation calls while presenting themselves to guests as part of the hotel’s own staff. Current services include reservation assistance, cancellation recovery, pre-stay calls, call overflow, click-to-call, outbound campaigns, website chat, mailbox management, and satisfaction surveys. Ring2Travel states that its agents answer 98% of calls and can provide service in five languages, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
- Omnichannel and lead recovery: beyond inbound calls, Ring2Travel supports SMS, newsletter, and WhatsApp campaigns as well as website chat and email/mailbox management. Paraty Tech’s newer Leads Panel can identify abandoned booking-engine sessions, payment failures, Call Seeker quotations, and other high-intent leads; as of September 2026, it can also ingest qualified leads generated by Quinta’s Velma conversational agent and make them available for Ring2Travel outbound recovery campaigns.
- Call Seeker: hotels that keep telephone sales internally can use Call Seeker to generate live quotations and pre-bookings, apply promotional codes and market-specific pricing, manually adjust prices, lock price or availability for a defined period, and send guests a link to resume the reservation. It integrates with payment gateways—including payment links—and loyalty programs, while CRM integration supports request tracking and follow-up workflows.
- Commercial and deployment model: Ring2Travel can take all hotel calls, handle only busy-line overflow, or provide support during peak-demand periods, and Paraty Tech currently promotes the outsourced model as requiring no initial investment. Public product pages do not publish standard subscription rates or a universally applicable commission percentage, so hotels need a commercial quote for the exact outsourcing arrangement and services required.
Ring2Travel is most relevant to hotels and hotel groups with meaningful telephone booking demand that want either an outsourced 24/7 reservations operation or dedicated technology for managing voice-channel quotations, pre-bookings, follow-up, and lead recovery.
Oaky by Plusgrade
What is Oaky by Plusgrade?
Oaky by Plusgrade is a hotel upselling platform that helps properties sell room upgrades, services, and ancillary experiences before arrival, at check-in, and during the stay. Oaky became part of Plusgrade in October 2025, with the companies working toward a broader unified hospitality upselling platform.
- Full-journey upselling: Oaky combines Pre-arrival Upselling, Front Desk Upselling, and In-stay Upselling. Pre-arrival emails present personalized upgrades and extras, front-desk staff receive availability-aware recommendations during check-in, and in-stay offers can be accessed through scheduled messages, email, QR codes, and other guest-facing touchpoints.
- Personalization and dynamic pricing: hotels can segment offers according to guest and reservation data supplied by connected systems. RMS integrations such as Duetto and IDeaS can send live room availability and dynamic rates to Oaky, allowing upgrade supplements to change with the hotel’s revenue strategy rather than relying only on fixed upgrade prices.
- Automation and integrations: Oaky advertises 100+ integrations across PMS, RMS, CRM, and guest-communication systems. Two-way PMS connections such as Mews, Cloudbeds, and Guestline can automatically add accepted upsells to the guest reservation, while one-way integrations may still require hotel approval. Chatbot partners including Quicktext and HiJiffy use conversational AI to recognize guest requests and match them with relevant Oaky deals through website chat, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp.
- Commercial considerations: Oaky does not publish fixed standard prices. Pricing is customized according to the hotel’s situation and the Oaky products selected, with prospective customers directed through a discovery and demo process to build the appropriate package.
Oaky is most relevant to hotels and hotel groups that want to coordinate ancillary sales across pre-arrival, check-in, and in-stay touchpoints while using PMS and revenue-management data to automate more of the upselling process.
