Channel manager
A channel manager synchronises availability, rates and bookings between your PMS and sales channels such as Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia.
What is a channel manager?
A channel manager is software that automatically synchronises availability, rates and bookings between your property management system (PMS) and sales channels such as Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia. You manage everything in one place instead of updating each channel separately.
Why use a channel manager?
• Prevent double bookings: when a room, pitch or property is booked on one channel, availability is updated across the others.
• Save time: update rates and availability once.
• Reach more guests: sell through multiple channels with less manual work.
What should you look for?
• Which channels are connected, and how many?
• Is synchronisation real time or delayed?
• Are there extra fees per booking or per channel?
