Strengths

For properties outside Africa/MEA, SiteMinder or Cloudbeds Distribution are typically better fits.
When to choose

When to avoid
Avoid for properties in Europe, North America or APAC where larger channel managers have stronger coverage.
Common integrations
African OTA networks, regional payment gateways, hospitality POS.
