CRX Engine – How it works

The CRX Booking engine is based on 5 modules that handle all aspects of your data. 

Rental Center Module

This module is the heart of CRX engine. It enables renters to get real-time rate quotes and book reservations in a secure, online environment. It will maximize your conversion of Internet lookers to bookers.

Vehicles Module

This module includes a fleet overview page. Each vehicle detail page is unique, and includes the vehicle’s standard features, a gallery of images of the vehicle, and custom description.

Rental Policies Module

Policies can be made visible to your renters based on location, vehicle or rate code. Rental policies are also included in the renter’s reservation notification e-mail.

Specials or Coupons Module

This module presents graphical or text-based discount coupons to the user, where users can read or print the offer. Coupons can be linked to dynamic discounts and be applied directly to the renter’s rate quote during the reservation process.

Locations Module

Your customers need to find you. This module displays all your rental locations organized by region. Each location can include basic information, contact details, hours of operation, and an interactive map.

CRX Rental Center Module

This comprehensive module is the beating heart of CRX Booking Engine.

Here are a few powerful features included in the Rental Center Module:

How Does the CRX Private Label Website Integration Work

Getting Started

After you’ve purchased the CRX Booking Engine, ExpressITech will set up a “blank slate” reservation system for your company; this is called your CRX Private Label. The Rental Center and all related content are installed on a unique subdomain (e.g. http://reservations.yourcompany.com), and hosted by ExpressITech. You can view your Rental Center by visiting this website address through your Internet browser at any time during the integration process.

Customizing the CRX Rental Center

Using CRX Manager’s Rental Center Console, you can seamlessly match the look and feel of CRX Engine to your current website. This process requires web development skills, including HTML and CSS.

If you need assistance to customize your CRX Private Label, ExpressITech web development team provides this service at no charge.  This process requires web development skills, including HTML and CSS. Once rates are entered in the CRX Manager, website integration can take as little as one day.

Activating the CRX Engine on Your Website

Each CRX Module is found under a unique website address. For example, the Vehicles module will be accessible at http://reservations.yourcompany.com/vehicles/. You can pick and choose which Modules you want to use by linking your website to them. Typically, your website’s main navigation menu will link to the Rental Center Rates Search, Vehicles, Locations and Rental Policies pages. Our staff will assist you in creating all needed site links at no charge.

Another popular integration option is to place CRX Quick Rates form on your homepage, so renters can quickly search for rates and vehicles for their selected itinerary.

If you require changes to your existing website to accommodate your new CRX Private Label, we’d be happy to help. If you are interested in further development on your site, or a complete redesign, please contact us for a custom quote.

Each CRX Travel Network is a popular site in the travel industry or system that searches the CRX database for vehicle inventory and presents your vehicles to its website visitors or booking agents.
