SuperControl API Integration to WordPress website
SuperControl is an online booking and channel management system used by 45,000 holiday rental properties around the world.
Impact was tasked with integrating the SuperControl API, for Baileys Estate Agents who have expanded into holiday rentals, to import the property details and create availability calendars for 60+ properties.
The API integration involved updating all property details every day and providing a live integration for real-time property availability for a WordPress website.
The integration was a stand alone process that used both SuperControl and WordPress API's, as opposed to creating a WordPress plugin. This allowed for greater flexibility and speed of development.
The availability was made available to WordPress pages via a short code to be consistent with current best practices.
Data integrated included:
- Property image gallery
- Description
- Floorplan
- Location
- Availability
- Pricing

Villa rental website with 128 exclusive properties overseas.
In 2009, I moved my business from a company in India, and engaged Impact Technology to maintain and develop my vacation rental website. Since then the website has undergone many large changes from a complete redesign, to simplifying booking functionality and enhancing usability features. There have also been many back end changes, simplifying key administration tasks, including the creation of a variety of complex reporting and financial functions.
More recently we have been focused on social aspects and enhancing the delivery of guest services to our customers before arrival and during their stay. Impact have developed bespoke forums for us so that guests can ask questions of other guests prior to booking, and integrated live chat software to the website to support pre-sales. We are about to launch a bespoke private messaging system that will allow guests to communicate, both with each other and key members of staff, before, during and after their visit.
I have found Impact’s input into all of these changes invaluable. Andy will always find the most efficient and budget conscious solution to a problem, and Jo has often been a sounding board for looking at things from the customers perspective. Thus far it’s been a mutually beneficial relationship and I am confident it will continue to be so.
