What’s a Channel Manager?
What’s a Channel Manager?A channel manager is a tool that helps you manage your property’s info on different distribution channels like Booking.com and other travel websites. Many channel managers also offer a property management system (PMS): software that helps you manage reservations across different channels.
Choosing a Channel Manager
Selecting the best channel manager for you depends on your needs. When researching, consider the following:
- Does it offer the functions and integrations you need? Not all channel managers support every distribution channel or all the functions of a particular channel.
- Will it help you run your business today as well as support its growth tomorrow? You might have plans for the future that not every channel manager can support.
- Does it offer good training and support? Your channel manager should help you get the most out of your connection to it.
- What do the reviews say? Search online for opinions from other property owners – especially about error rates and reliability.
- Does it fit your budget? Channel managers charge different fees per month, per transaction, and sometimes both.======
