Hotel Channel Management - BASICS

Hotel Channel Management Basics
A short introduction in to what a channel manager is, how it works and how it helps Hotels to automate their online sales.

Creating our content during the crisis has had its challenges but we are happy to share this a bit different Video with you. This Video is focusing on the basics of channel management and part of a mini-series including more advanced channel management discussions.

Using a simple example to demonstrate the channel management logic, we will explain what a channel manager is with basic functionalities and the data flow. Afterwards we compare manual management of data in the Channel Management platform and look at the two-way integration with your property management system to fully automate your distribution. In this case your PMS will send the availabilities and prices to the Channel Manager eliminating all manual steps. Online reservations are reimported to the PMS so you do not have to enter them manually anymore.
Explaing the difference between a two way and a one way integration, we'll round up with some specifications on what to watch out for when searching and evaluating a new platform.
