Thus if your PMS vendor is willing to integrate eZee channel manager then we are happy to help them for the interface.

Can I get a pricing sheet for all the products you offer?

Yes, please contact sales for getting pricing list of our products.

Why are eZee products price not listed on the websites?

Previously, for our desktop products eZee had a pricing page available on the websites for everyone to have a look. But as per the request of most of our partners, we finally removed the pricing page and replaced it with a request for quote (RFQ) page. When the end users fill up the RFQ page, eZee send this RFQ form directly to the resellers in that region. If required resellers can edit the pricing that suits them, add other services too that our resellers offer in the quote (if relevant) and send it further to the customer. For those regions where we have our resellers present, eZee generally don’t send RFQ's directly to customers.

For cloud products, eZee would be displaying the price list on the website itself as avoiding that can reduce the lead generation. eZee might change this price display policy from time to time due to various reasons.

Are we required to show our pricings, quotations and agreements given to our clients to eZee?

No, eZee doesn't require any of the above things from the reseller. eZee will simply invoice the reseller for product as per the base price after deducting the commissions.

How much time it takes to implement various eZee products?

The time to implement different products is different and depends upon various aspects like the knowledge of the reseller (if they implement), computer literacy level of the Hotel staff, availability of the hardware during implementation, the size of the property and related

  • eZee FrontDesk generally takes 3 to 10 days for implementation and training
  • eZee Burrp takes 3 to 6 days
  • Implementation of all our web based products like eZee Absolute, eZee Reservation, and eZee Centrix are done by eZee and the training for the same takes generally 1-3 days depending on various factors.

Custom features development time depends upon the type of customizations.

My clients are asking me technical questions I cannot answer, can you help?

Yes, you and your clients are always welcome to contact our tech support 24/7/365. But to be reasonable after the resellers have gained enough knowledge about the software, we require our resellers to provide the first level of support to their customer. All the questions which resellers can't answer; the client or reseller team mates can directly contact eZee support.

For any enhancements and changes to the products, we recommend you to send an email explaining the requirements in details rather than discussing us on live support.

If you need a customization please check with the support team if such customization is already in development phase or if the same has been already planned in our next versions. We have also observed that often resellers asks for some features which are already present in the software. The priority of the development of the customization depend upon case to case basis. If you have a unique customization which applies to just some specific client, then eZee does offers such customization on chargeable basis too while if the changes you recommend are helpful to other clients also then we do that without any charges.

If required can we talk directly with the technical team?

Our support staffs are well trained to understand the technical talks to a reasonable level. Thus we always recommend our resellers to first talk with our support team.

What are the charges to become a reseller? Why do you charge reseller deposit?

eZee receives good number of reseller enquiries on daily basis. Unfortunately not all those companies are serious about business and ends up being a bad business case for us. Apart from that in most cases we only appoint 1 reseller per region unless the region is very big. If we contract with a company which isn't keen enough to produce some results we not only have a loss of opportunities wasted by means of leads that we send to them, but we also waist the new reseller opportunities that we get which we cannot entertain as we are contracted with the non performing resellers. We don't charge any fees for becoming our reseller, but what we ask is to some deposits based on the region applied. This deposit can be redeemed when the reseller makes the sale. Most of our resellers redeem the deposit in just few sales. The small deposits make us comfortable to know the seriousness of the reseller whom we are appointing as reseller and as this amount is easily redeemed the resellers join us virtually without any costs.

Why does eZee asks for deposits for select products?

eZee receives good number of reseller enquiries all the time. Not all the enquiries turn up to be serious enough in their efforts and end up wasting; time, resources and the most importantly the leads that we send to them. In order to cut down the non-interested / non-performing resellers in the start, lately we were forced to introduce some minimum business guarantee in terms of deposits.

Apart from that in many cases we appoint only 1 reseller per region unless the region is very big. If we contract with a company which isn't keen enough to produce some results we not only have a loss of opportunities wasted by means of leads that we send to them, but we also waist the new reseller opportunities that we get which we cannot entertain as we are contracted with the non performing resellers.

These small deposits are kind of assurance to us about the seriousness of our newly appointed resellers. These deposits are not any kind of fees as the full deposit can be reimbursed against the future sales and commissions. Most of our resellers redeem the deposit in just few initial sales. Read the question below on how the deposit is reimbursed to get more info.

How does eZee reimburse the deposit money?

Here is a short example of how to reimburse the deposit.

Assume that you have paid 8000 as the reseller deposit to eZee for platinum reseller ship where you get 40% commissions.

Your opening balance with eZee is 8000 to start off.
Assume you make a Sale @ 10,000 (eZee Base Price, not considering your markups)
Your commissions: 4000 (@ 40%)
Due to be paid to eZee: 6000
Your Balance with eZee: 8000
Your balance with eZee after this sale: 2000 (8000 - 6000)

Your Second sale is say of 4000 (eZee Base Price)
Your commissions: 1600 (@ 40%)
Due to be paid to eZee: 2400 (4000 - 1600)
You're previous balance with eZee: 2000
Your balance with eZee after this sale: -400

Thus on completion of this sale, you end up paying only 400 to eZee, while all your deposits are fully utilized after this sale. For all futuresale after this, you will have to remit the 60% of the eZee base price.

After introducing the deposits lately we have decreased the numbers of reseller enrolments, but what we got were all serious enrolment's whom we can look forward to work for long long time to mutually benefit each other.

Note: For our web products, the commission is 25% only and not 40% as shown in the above illustrations. All the numbers are shown are for illustrations. Annual maintenance charges, resellers mark-up, resellers gain from training and implementations are not taken into considerations to make the calculations easy to understand.
