Channel managers are invaluable to properties of all sizes. Once just a “nice-to-have” channel managers have become a virtual “must-have” over the past decade.
Large hotels have been using channel managers, or something like it, for decades, but now they’re available at a low cost to even the smallest hostel or boutique hotel.
A channel manager dynamically connects milikmu inventaris to multiple online travel agencies (OTAs), or channels. While you could connect to multiple OTAs and manage your inventory on your own, keeping your property’s rates and availability across all your online marketing channels takes a lot of time and makes you prone to over-bookings and other costly mistakes. So here are some reasons why you need a channel manager:
1) No more manual errors and over-bookings
Manual processes can be exhausting, time-consuming and, most importantly, unreliable. Investing in a Hotel Channel Manager can help you avoid overbookings by automating the process of updating your dashboard & OTAs- simultaneously. You can instantly improve online bookings by providing your digital prospects with accurate booking and rate-related information. It’s all about time these days and you can save several man-hours by eliminating manual updates of bookings & rates across multiple OTAs.
2) Have a live update of inventory and rates across multiple OTAs
It is easy for a property to miss booking opportunities if channels aren’t properly updated in real-time. For example, imagine a reservation cancels and another potential guest is searching for travel at the same time. That room won’t become available until you manually update that channel, which may result in a lost sale. Similarly, to manage overbookings, a property may list only part of their inventory on each channel, limiting the overall exposure of property availability. A channel manager reduces the chance for missed opportunities because distribution is automatically managed.
3) Manage multiple listings
If you’re fortunate enough to have more than one property, a channel manager will make the running of these so much easier for you. With some CM such as Manajer Saluran STAAH, you can list all of your properties under one login.
Itu single dashboard gives you access to all your listings and manages inventory from one place.
4) Channel Managers can increase your direct bookings
While channel managers are used to connect to third-party distribution partners, they can also help fuel direct booking efforts. Online travel agencies (OTAs) are great for helping properties acquire new properties. They offer added reach and sophisticated marketing tactics that can help interested travelers find properties that meet their wants and needs.
A channel manager opens up the opportunity for property awareness in big, small, broad, and niche marketplaces without the worry or hassle of overbookings and other mistakes.
