Key Features of VFM Leonardo's VScape
VScape is a complete web-based digital asset management platform that enables large hotel brands, management companies and individual hotel properties as well as other travel suppliers to store, manage and distribute digital assets with increased efficiency and convenience.
Specifically designed to address the challenges of managing and distributing large quantities and all forms of digital content for the hotel and travel industries, VScape is the most sophisticated and easy to use application of its kind.
Convenience
- VScape allows you to store and manage all of your digital media assets all in one place, including still images, virtual tours, video, Flash and other forms of media. Just as importantly, it allows you to control distribution of those assets throughout VFM Leonardo’s distribution network with one single point of entry. At a simple click of a button, a hotel can replace or add an image, video or virtual tour to its display on thousands of third-party travel web sites. Similarly, a hotel can determine which specific content to display on a particular site or group of sites.
One-to-Many Distribution
- VScape allows you to control distribution of media across the Internet with one single point of entry. Gone is the inconvenience of uploading images to multiple contact points with various GDS's or a number of content distribution providers. Using VScape, distribution is greatly simplified, whether you're using it as a stand-alone solution or in conjunction with an existing content management system using an efficient feed.
Selective Distribution Control
- With VScape, you can easily control exactly where your hotel or brand images and rich media are distributed. This is designed to support your marketing plans and relationships with various distribution partners. Changing ‘on/off’ status is simple to administer according to factors such as preferred partners, inventory or seasonality.
Security and User Control
- VScape allows you to store all your digital assets securely and control user access rights using and login authentication. For large brands, this enables you to control access to media at head office, across individual properties, as well as with partners such as advertising or marketing firms or the media. This feature is designed to ensure you maintain control of the standards of your brand with all visual representation from imagery to logo treatment.
Integration with Existing Content Management Systems
- For hoteliers who are already utilizing a digital content management system, VFM Leonardo provides a method to link their internal content management systems to, and allow them to distribute their rich media through, VScape. This provides the ability for hoteliers to leverage their existing content management systems by providing standards based interfaces into VScape.
Automatic Image Duplicate Detection
- Using Vscape Image Compare, a proprietary technology to VFM Leonardo, VScape automates many tasks that till now have been manual for hotels, and therefore plagued by user error or neglect. Image Compare automatically eliminates duplicated images using sophisticated, proprietary image comparison algorithms. Image Compare also helps hotels remove outdated “rogue” images from distribution – that is, removing outdated, poor quality or wrong images that have somehow made it onto a hotel’s display on third party sites. And finally, Image Compare’s technology will detect differences between images, replacing low resolution images with higher resolution, ensuring consumers are always seeing the best quality –and the most current media in your library.
