GPTE Channel Manager

A channel manager is a service provider that links the property management system (PMS) you use to manage your rooms and prices with online platforms like Booking.com, Expedia, GDS, etc. It lets you automatically update your rates, availability and reservations across several platforms all at once. If you don’t have a PMS, certain channel managers can provide you with one. If you’re selling rooms on more than one online platform, a channel manager will save you time and effort. It gives you a fast, easy way to update your prices across all online channels. You're also far less likely to get overbooked because as soon as a room is sold, it will automatically be removed from all other online channels.

If you're offering availability across various platforms with a channel manager, you're more likely to sell your rooms for a good price during low season.

There are 2 ways of working with Channel manager:

1. IN - prices and availability is loaded from hotels to inventory through channel manager. There is no need for the hotel’s personnel to log in to every single channel in order to update availability. Channel managers receive the information about bookings made through online booking platform and transfer it to hotels.

2. OUT - prices and allotments are carried into Channel Manager through TO system (Inventory). When booking is made, its information is sent to TO system back to pass it to hotels. The Channel Manager will automatically reduce availability when a room is booked on any one of your sales channels.
