Hotel Tech Insight

Channel manager

Software que sincroniza tarifas e inventario entre OTAs desde un solo lugar.

Definicion detallada en ingles. Los terminos tecnicos hoteleros (PMS, OTA, RevPAR, ADR) suelen usarse en su forma inglesa por operadores hispanohablantes.

A channel manager pushes rate and availability updates to every connected OTA (Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, regional channels) and pulls reservations back into the PMS. The depth and freshness of those connections matters: direct integrations push updates in seconds, XML feeds can lag 15-30 minutes and cause overbookings. Cloud PMSes increasingly bundle a channel manager; specialised channel managers like SiteMinder and Cloudbeds Distribution can also work with PMSes that lack one.
