Connect OTAs
The channel manager connection: which agencies you can connect, how your rooms are mapped, and how what you change travels.
What it solves
Running Booking, Expedia and your own website by hand means running three inventories that contradict each other. Every sale has to be subtracted from the other two, and the first time somebody takes ten minutes to do it, two guests have the same room.
You notice it in things like these
- You close sales on one agency and forget the other: an oversell on the long weekend.
- Raising the high-season price means opening four extranets and repeating the same thing four times.
How it works
The connection opens from the panel
The screen shows which agencies you can connect and opens the channel manager flow right there to connect them. No stepping out to another tool with another set of credentials.
Three queues, not one
Price, restrictions and availability travel separately, batched per property. Keeping them apart stops a year-wide price change from dragging along tonight's urgent stop-sell.
Changes are saved together
In the calendar you stage different prices and save them with one button, in a single operation and a single call. Changing thirty days is not thirty loose deliveries that can end up half-applied.

What it needs first
The channel created, with its plans and its rooms mapped.

What it does not do yet
The limits, told by us
- The channel manager certification has the code side closed and still has the scenarios to be re-run and submitted. Until it is signed off, the connection is used with pilots.
- The channel manager is part of the monthly fee. On the free plan it is not included and is contracted separately.
