RezEasy's Channel Manager module automatically updates your inventory and rates in the Global Distribution Systems (GDS) and Online Travel Agents (OTA's), where you list your rooms. Reservations taken on these sites automatically update RezEasy's database, reducing inventory in RezEasy and all connected channels, thus avoiding double booking. Therefore, you are removing the need to make manual updates. When you make reservations in RezEasy, the inventory automatically updates each channel.
You can now manage your inventory and prices in one place. The rate can be configured in RezEasy, the Channel Manager or set at individual GDS/OTA's. Each time that rate or inventory changes, all connected GDS/OTA's are updated automatically.
The channel manager module works via Octorate, SiteMinder, and eZee. You will need an account with one of these third party companies.
RezEasy's Channel Manager offers a two-way connection with 400+ hotel booking channels. The number of channels will depend on the third party company you choose; however, they will all support major companies like Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda and Lastminute.
We have added integration with TripConnect into RezEasy's Channel Manager module. Still, you will have to wait until TripAdvisor implement direct connections to hotel websites before you can take full advantage of TripAdvisor. However, you can also use the API built into RezEasy to exchange data with any travel website. RezEasy will send details of your hotel, rooms, prices and availability in response to a search request. Reservations are made directly into the RezEasy booking engine.
