Hotels need a channel manager for several reasons, including simplifying channel management, increasing bookings, providing real-time updates, being time and cost-efficient, and gaining a competitive advantage.
A channel manager simplifies the process for accommodation providers to centrally manage their room inventory across multiple third-party distributors, such as OTA's, wholesalers, and others.
What is a Channel Manager?
It is an online system that assists accommodation providers in managing their rates and availability across various channels, OTA's, or third-party distribution partners. It simplifies the task of managing room inventory online for accommodation providers, thereby eliminating overbooking and rate parity issues.
What does the tool do?
The tool enables accommodation providers to connect their OTA's to a single, user-friendly dashboard. For instance, if you have a Booking.com account, you can input your account number/ID into the system, and it will automatically manage your bookings from that channel.
Why is a Channel Manager important?
Now more than ever, it has become essential to have the right partners to expand your distribution and reach. Third-party distributors, such as Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, and CTrip, can assist you in attracting more guests and obtaining more bookings.
It is advisable to have multiple distribution partners, but it can create additional administrative work. This is where a Channel Manager can be of assistance. You only need to sign up with the OTA or third-party distributor and input your account number/ID into the system. It will then manage all your bookings across all channels.
