Reservation Nexus, or ResNexus is a web-based system from Convoyant with some property management features along with an online booking engine. Like all web-only based systems, your internet connection must be working, preferably fast in order for it to function.

ResNexus provides no local copy of customer data and no functionality in the event of internet slowness or an outage. You pay monthly for the life of the system, whether you use it for one month or twenty years. If you are not interested in doing online bookings, web-based systems are generally not a good option as they are slower, limited in functionality, and much more expensive over the long-haul.

Information on competitor features was gathered from public data available online as of September 2008. If you see any features that are missing or incorrect, please notify us immediately so that we can correct it.

Note: no fee for RezOvation software when purchasing a monthly plan. Fees still apply for software only purchase. See our pricing page for details.
