Increase online bookings:

With telephone and walk-in bookings on the decline and online reservation the rise, a channel manager places you in the best position to take advantage of this new traveler booking habit. Connect to all online channels, where more travelers than ever are locking in their stays.

Increase hotel revenue:

Given a channel manager displays live rates and availability over all your channels at the same time, and updates automatically you can accept bookings faster and almost eliminate the chance of double bookings.

Reduce the risk of over bookings:

Without a channel manager, you’re targeted to split your inventory between channels and risk double-bookings or failing to reach full occupancy.

Improve brand recognition:

A powerful channel manager will give two-way unrestricted access to hundreds of booking channels where travelers who would never hear of you can now make reservations at your property.

Boost direct bookings:

It may seem unreasonable but it’s true! Many travelers will discover your property first on an OTA, but they want to learn more about you before they book.

Remove manual processes:

Manual data entry is time-consuming and spoil, we all know that. If you were to use a channel manager and eliminate this friction, you’d realize just how much more productive you can be. Anything that has to be put on hold can now be prioritized to grow your business.

Create a seamless; integrated tech stack:

Instead of being required to update information in various extranets, a channel manager can integrate with your property management system, central reservation system, or revenue management system as well as your booking engine to create a central control system for the entirety of your hotel’s operations.

Transform into a powerful business platform:

A good channel accepts complete transparency of data across all systems and channels, meaning you can use the received information to see which channels or rooms are performing the best. This means you can constantly improve your business strategy.

Reduce reliance on traditional booking channels:

However, using a channel manager will make sure you don’t have to worry about filling your rooms in this manner. Connecting to a significant number of online reservation sites will ensure your occupancy always remains steady.

Keep everyone on the same page:

Quality channel managers are very easy to use and hotels will regularly have different staff members using the system. If the main user is going away or won’t be available to make better they can easily mark important dates in the system so everyone is aware if they need to change a rate or close a room etc.
