IRIS APIs

APIs allow customers to build their own integrations based on the HTNG standard.

Our APIs are used by our customers and partners to empower and build their own bespoke guest experiences on the Web, Mobile, Tablet and Voice by embedding IRIS® GXP into their existing app and/or their existing property onboarding/setup and management tools.

See below for more information:

Guest API

IRIS® Guest API

Build your own or embed IRIS® into an existing app

Our guest facing products are built using the IRIS® GXP Guest API. This powerful API is also used by our customers and partners to build their own bespoke guest experiences on Web, Mobile, Tablet and Voice.

Use the IRIS® Guest REST API to develop the following features:

App menu and homepage

Digital Compendium

F&B Read-Only Menu

F&B Digital Ordering and Payment

Service Requests

Order/Service Request History

Guest Messaging

Building a custom app or integrating IRIS® Guest API into an existing app enables the creation of truly unique guest experiences.

Need to get to market quickly? Developing a custom experience requires investment in upfront development and ongoing maintenance. We also offer an embedded version of our Guest Web product for immediate deployment within existing brand apps.

Make all the great features of IRIS Guest Web, such as digital compendium, F&B ordering and service requests, available inside your existing brand app with the minimal development effort.

Improve productivity and automation

If you need to onboard properties at scale, automate content management workflows or even build your own staff-facing apps - you can with the IRIS® GXP Manager API.

A user interface can only take you so far - that's why we developed the IRIS® GXP Manager API to allow customers/partners to integrate IRIS GXP into existing property onboarding/setup and management tools.

Save time and improve agility by automating common tasks and removing the risk of human error. Use the IRIS GXP Manager REST API to interact with the following GXP modules:

Apps

Content Management

Outlet Management

Front Desk

Integrations

Media Library

Messages

Order and Service Requests

Property Setup

User Management

Need to build a staff-facing app? No problem - the API is suitable for both client and server-side development.

Point of Sale

POS Integration

The IRIS® GXP POS Integration Framework provides a seamless link between your guest and the kitchen:

Import POS menu items and modifiers into the IRIS GXP with our true integration (not a database match)

Enrich menu item content for guest consumption using IRIS GXP's
powerful CMS

Automatic synchronisation of new items, deleted items, price changes,
modifier changes

Sits on top of the powerful GXP Group/Brand/Property hierarchy, allowing for
centralised management of shared brand level menus

Calculation of basket totals, taxes, charges and tips

Orders sent directly to the POS system

Orders are also stored in IRIS® GXP with full Group/Brand/Property reporting
and analysis

Bring your own POS Integration - we integrate with the world's leading POS systems, but that's not where it ends. The GXP POS Integration Framework also provides support for customer/partner developed integrations allowing the benefits of the GXP POS integration to be applied to any POS system with an API. Simply implement 3 API calls and realise all the same POS integration benefits outlined above.

Property Management System

PMS Integration

In certain scenarios, our products work better with guest information available to them. That's where IRIS® PMS Integration Framework comes in. Instead of manually entering data into the IRIS GXP Front Desk, this can be automatically synchronised with your PMS in realtime.

GXP monitors the following PMS events:

Check-In

Check-Out

Room Moves

Guest Information Changes (e.g. name change)

Bring your own PMS Integration - we appreciate there are a lot of PMS's out there, so like our POS Integration Framework we also provide a generic API to allow customers/partners to build their own PMS integrations based on the HTNG standard.

Payments

Payment Integration

Alongside our charge to room and cash options sit the IRIS® GXP Payment Integration Framework.

We integrate with leading payment providers to deliver a seamless, rapid
guest checkout experience as part of our F&B ordering module.

Payments can be taken in standalone non-POS integrated scenarios (tax calculations provided by IRIS® GXP) and POS integrated scenarios with immediate refunds in the event of a downstream order creation failure
in POS.

Service Optimisation System

SOS Integration

The IRIS® GXP SOS Integration Framework removes the need for hotel staff to monitor IRIS® GXP for service requests by sending them directly to your SOS.

Not only that, GXP monitors SOS for changes and provides status updates to guests.

Need an integration we don't have?

To help us focus our development team on features all our customers can enjoy, we developed a way for customers/partners to build their own integrations. Integrate literally any system with an API and embed your user experience directly into IRIS® Guest Web, IRIS® Guest Mobile, and IRIS® Guest Room apps using our 'guest context aware' encrypted URL technology.
