Frequently asked channel manager questions.
The definition of a channel manager is that it’s an automated online tool that gives you more access to online channels and more control over your bookings. A channel manager allows you to sell all your rooms on all your connected booking sites (e.g. Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, the GDS, your website), at the same time. It automatically updates your availability in real-time on all sites and your PMS, when a booking is made, or when changes are made to your inventory. This means that a channel manager can dramatically help you drive reservations, increase revenue, save time, and reduce human errors.
When comparing channel managers it’s important to understand what features and functionality are important to your hotel. Are you a large or small business? What challenges are you facing?
When looking at providers, ask questions like:
- Does this channel manager easily connect to the channels I need?
- Does it integrate with other systems I use?
- Does it have the depth and breadth of features I need?
- Does it make the experience user-friendly and provide the reporting I need to maximise revenue?
Importantly, you should consider the user-friendliness of the technology and service. Does it require advanced tech skills? Can you manage your direct and indirect channels from a single place? What support is available if anything goes wrong? A channel manager that meets these criteria will save you hours, minimise drain on your resources and give you the ability to quickly optimise your complete distribution strategy.
SiteMinder is a common channel manager example for large independent hotels as well as groups and chains. It’s the best channel manager in the industry according to the HotelTechAwards. For smaller hotels, all-in-one software that includes a channel manager is often the best choice. A common example is Little Hotelier, which is designed specifically for small accommodation providers and is backed by SiteMinder’s world-leading technology.
Pricing of hotel channel managers can vary depending on your specific business and your requirements. In the case of SiteMinder, there are flexible pricing models that let you choose what’s best for you. The platform offers a tonne of useful features, but if a channel manager is your sole concern then you won’t be forced to pay for everything. View your pricing options.
A channel manager easily offsets its cost with the extra bookings that it will generate, the time it saves you each day and additional value-add such as channel performance insights and free-of-charge integrations with your existing software systems.
