HostAureaChannel manager: the 5-minute guide
Selling on Booking, Expedia and your site with no channel manager means reloading everything by hand, three times. Here's what it does and how to judge one.
What it really does
Two flows: it receives OTA reservations and brings them into the system; it sends availability and rates from the system to OTAs. Without it, every change repeats on every extranet.
The 4 selection criteria
Covered channels (the ones where you really sell, not 200 logos); sync speed (minutes, not hours); restriction and minimum-stay handling; cost relative to rooms, not one flat fee for all.
How it works with HostAurea
HostAurea imports OTA reservations into planning and sends availability and rates via an external channel manager, with overbooking guards. Set up during activation.
