A new integration brings bookings from Kinetic's Kx into For-Sight, so universities, colleges and student accommodation operators can market to their conference, event and summer guests.
For-Sight has integrated with Kinetic's Kx, the property management platform used by universities, colleges and purpose-built student accommodation operators. The integration brings bookings, and the people behind them, into For-Sight, extending the platform to a market that runs a busy commercial guest business alongside student lettings.
These operators let the same rooms go to students during term time and to conference delegates, event guests and summer visitors. They are often booked through conference organisers, corporate accounts and OTAs. Until now, that commercial guest data has been hard to act on.
With Kx connected, every reservation flows into For-Sight as a stay, bringing the guest, the booking agent and the company it was booked for. Teams can finally see their commercial guests in one place and market to them.
How it works
Reservations made in Kx are sent securely to For-Sight and processed automatically. They then sit alongside For-Sight's guest data, segmentation and marketing tools, giving campus venues one connected view of the commercial relationships they have been building all along.
Kx and its OTA channels help venues reach new guests. For-Sight helps turn those guests into regulars. Reservations made in Kx are sent securely to For-Sight and processed automatically.

Edinburgh University, already a For-Sight customer( and a Kinetic customer for over 20 years), is among the first to connect to the platform.
''Universities and student accommodation teams run a serious guest business - conferences, events, summer stays - but the data behind it has sat locked in the PMS. Connecting Kx to For-Sight changes that. For the first time, these teams can see their commercial guests and the organisers behind them, in one place, and start earning the repeat business they have been missing.''
