Odysys announced that the company is now out of the beta testing phase. Odysys is a digital marketing platform that fills a crucial need in the hospitality industry: Giving hoteliers the tools to improve their online presence and generate reservations. The company, which is located at 1000 NW Wall Street, currently has seven full-time employees and is looking to fill several open positions.
Boutique hotels, inns and B&Bs often lack the time, budget and/or expertise to drive online reservations
on their own websites. As a result, these properties pay commissions of 15, 20, even 25 percent to online travel agencies (OTAs) such as Expedia and Priceline.
“With Odysys, hotels can drastically reduce their reliance on OTAs,” said Kent Schnepp, cofounder
and CEO. The Odysys platform includes a mobile friendly booking engine, responsive website templates, SEO tools, social media publisher and analytics—all in one place.
“We want to help unique hotels be found—directly—by more people,” said 
Schnepp “With Odysys, innkeepers don’t have to rely on OTAs, nor do they have to lose a percentage of each reservation.”
Odysys has been in beta testing for the past couple of months, a process that helped refine the product.
“Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” Schnepp said. “It’s clear that the industry really needed a
solution that was effective, affordable and user friendly.”
Pricing is based on a monthly subscription model starting at $99 per month with no commissions, contracts, or variable fees.
“We’re looking forward to growing our business with the help of Odysys,” said Andy Goggins, general
manager of the Pine Ridge Inn in Bend. “Boutique properties like ours need a solution like this that is
both powerful and cost effective.”
The company, which is located at 1000 NW Wall Street, currently has seven fulltime employees and is
looking to fill several open positions.
Odysys is a digital marketing platform for independent hotels, motels, inns and resorts.
