Hotel extranet is a central reservation system for hotel aggregators to consolidate the sell the deals online. Apart from hotel API inventory, it also has a separate supplier interface to add / edit and update self contracted hotels. Hotel extranet can be seamlessly with top channel managers for two way data sync.
Global aggregators and hoteliers have faced this big challenge of managing hotel rooms availability and rates / packages across multiple channels. Hotel channel managers help you in syncing your available inventory and hotel room rates across all OTA and distribution platforms.
There are several hotel channel managers, which are recognized as very good in their class. To name a few - STAAH, siteminder and WuBook. Although the peak season being most lucrative for hoteliers, the spiraling demand for hotel rooms makes room management a tedious task.
