Hotel Channel Management is arguably one of the most important tasks within today´s fast paced digital environment and is usually complemented by the technological use of a hotel channel manager.
It’s the process of managing and listing your room inventory throughout all connected online hotel booking platforms, while simultaneously analysing and optimizing each online booking platform to increase potential sales activity.
Solely the use of a proper channel manager alone will enable you as a hotel to connect to as many online portals as desired without having to invest hours towards the implementation. As a result, this will give your hotel the global reach and visibility required to attain new guests for yourself on a regular basis.
Occupancy will noticeably increase, leading to higher revenue streams if the pricing strategy of your hotel is properly implemented. The workload around your hotel channel management, when using a channel manager, is also significantly reduced on a weekly basis, saving yourself or your workforce up to 20 hours of work per week when managing your inventory or that being completely reduced when working together with HotelPartner.
One can have the best products within the market, but this will ultimately not lead to anything if your products cannot be found.

Avoid Overbooking and Unnecessary High Commissioned Channels
With the surge of technology and online travel agents over the past years, the hotel sales landscape has become massively influenced, while market dynamics and travel behavior are constantly evolving. Not keeping up with this fast-paced environment will lead to your competition intercepting your hotel guests and disrupting your revenue stream.
Your Hotel Channel Management is therefore increasingly important, as it is nearly impossible to successfully manage all your sales channels without a proper strategy or even the help of a hotel channel manager.
Avoid the most common mistakes:
- More rooms are being sold than are available at any given time
- Failure to synchronize data leads to errors and overbooking situations
- Uploading and updating rates are taking up unnecessary hours
- Multiple interfaces cause delay and slower update times
- Rate parity issues arise without proper management or overview
- High commissioned channels are cutting into your profits
