Channel Manager

Every Channel. One Inventory. No Surprises.

130+ Certified Connections, Governed From One Place

Change a rate once and it lands everywhere — booking engine, direct channels, OTAs, wholesalers, bed banks, tour operators and GDS. Not eventually: the main channels have it in a few hundred milliseconds. One inventory feeds all of them, which is why there is nothing to reconcile at the end of the day.

The Network

Syncing Rates Is a Commodity. The Network Isn't.

Every channel manager updates rates and availability. The difference is what's on the other end of the connection — how many channels, of how many kinds, and whether each one is a certified two-way connection or a workaround that breaks quietly.

OTAs

The global names your guests search first, plus the regional players that fill the dates the global names don't.

Wholesalers

Volume when you need it, on your terms, with the same inventory as everywhere else.

Bed banks

Reach into markets and segments you don't sell to directly.

Tour operators

Contracted allotments handled in the same place as everything else.

GDS

Corporate travelers and the agencies that book them, across all four global networks.

Every one of them is a certified two-way XML connection — rates and availability out, bookings and modifications back, no scraping and no one-way workarounds. All the major international operators, plus local operators in the markets we serve.

How It Works

One Update. Four Ways In. Everywhere at Once.

An update can come from wherever you already work — and it takes the same path from there.

Four ways in, one result
Your PMS, an external channel manager, the back office, or the hotelier mobile app. However the change arrives, the booking engine and every direct channel have it immediately.
A few hundred milliseconds to the main channels
The update enters your property's distribution queue and is processed at once. Not "real time" as an adjective — a number you can hold us to.
Bookings come back the same way
Instantly from direct channels. From intermediated channels, as fast as their API allows: some push, some pull, some both. We implement the fastest model each one offers, which is the honest limit — that part isn't ours to speed up.
One inventory, not a reconciliation
The booking engine, your direct channels and every connected channel read the same availability. Nothing is copied between systems, so nothing can drift apart.

Derived Distribution

Stop Maintaining Channels. Maintain One Price.

You can send a different rate plan, a different room, a different restriction to every channel — the system allows all of it. But the reason to buy this one is that you shouldn't have to.

One inventory, one price, everything else derived
Rate plans, channel prices and restrictions descend from a single source. Change the source, and every channel follows — correctly, and without you opening each one.
The work that disappears is the daily work
Maintaining parallel price lists is where the hours go, and where the errors come from. A rate that's wrong on one channel is almost never a decision: it's a list somebody forgot.
Differentiate where it earns you something
Derivation isn't a limit. Where a channel deserves its own rate plan, its own rooms or its own restrictions, you set it — deliberately, and as an exception you can see.
Work in bulk when you need to
Calendar view, changes across a date range, down to the room type and meal plan — rates, inventory and restrictions together.

Beyond the Feed

Build a Booking.com Promo Without Opening Booking.com.

With Booking.com and Expedia the integration goes further than rates, availability and reservations — further than a channel manager usually goes. Two things in particular, and they don't cover the same channels.

Promotions — on both channels

The promotion APIs, implemented for Booking.com and Expedia.

Build offers and promotions for your low-demand periods on either channel, from inside the Simple Booking back office. A promo isn't an administrative task, it's a revenue decision taken while looking at the weak dates — which is the difference between a channel manager that distributes and one you can sell with.

Guest messaging — on Expedia

The conversation arrives here, not only the booking.

When a guest — or someone who hasn't booked yet — messages you on Expedia, that message reaches Simple Booking at the same moment. You reply from your own back office, and from inside the booking, with the dates, the room, the rate and the history in front of you.

You're told, and the queue is waiting

A notification when it arrives, and a panel of messages to answer when you log in.

Nothing to remember and nothing to go looking for — which is what makes the extranet unnecessary rather than optional.

Reviews and your replies — on Expedia too

Handled in the back office as well.

Reviews from that channel, and the replies you write to them.

Overbooking

Sell to the Last Room. Or Don't. It's a Setting.

Most platforms promise maximum occupancy and zero overbooking in the same sentence. Those two things pull against each other, and pretending otherwise doesn't help you decide.

The default sells

Every channel and every room stays open to the last available unit. One shared inventory and sub-second propagation keep the exposure very small.

The rules are yours

Automatic closing and last-room rules by channel, rate plan, period and inventory level. Tighten them and the risk approaches zero.

You choose the trade

Between the two settings there's a range, and where you sit on it is a commercial decision — not something your channel manager should make for you.
