Free channel manager

When someone starts a rental business or runs a hotel facility, they must tell the potential recipient that their product – hotel or apartment – is available in a particular place. The first stopper is usually the creation of a website on which you can install a free channel manager so that the potential client has the opportunity to book the service with us or on one of the popular booking portals. Clients are looking for hotel services on the Internet, most often, on the websites of numerous intermediaries (OTA). The most popular ones are Booking, Airbnb or TripAdvisor. Free channel manager gives us the opportunity to sell services online from many intermediaries who operate in a given market. It is used to provide information about the types of rooms owned, price plans and, above all, the price, with all internet intermediaries who operate on the market.

The role of the channel manager is that each intermediary has the opportunity to display the accommodation offer on its website, giving the client the opportunity to book a particular type of room according to a specific price plan. In this way, our offer can be available on many different channels. Such an effect can also be achieved without using a free channel manager, however, it requires us to manually change prices and availability on any booking portal.

Advantages of using a channel manager:

• Manage online bookings from a single point,
• Integration that allows us to gain more coverage,
• Help minimize the risk of overbooking,
• Maximizing profits

The main task of the free channel manager is that the price and availability changes made on one screen are distributed to all intermediaries with whom we have a signed contract. This will save you a lot of time and allow you to maximize the management of your inventory. In addition to distributing your pricing and availability information, Channel manager allows you to react instantly to what’s happening in the market.
