<p class="gt-block">它的主要功能是 <strong>同步房间可用性、价格和限制</strong> 跨多个分销渠道实时发布，例如：</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>在线旅行社 (OTA)，&nbsp;</li>



<li>全球分销系统 (GDS)，&nbsp;</li>



<li>批发商，</li>



<li>元搜索</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">酒店渠道管理系统如何运作？</h2>



<p>假设您有想要在 5 个 OTA 频道上投放广告的单位。&nbsp;</p>



<p>如果没有渠道经理，您就必须不断更新可用性和价格，这将是一项非常艰巨且容易出错的任务。</p>



<p class="gt-block">但是，使用渠道管理器，您可以 <strong>避免过度预订或重复预订</strong> 并消除时间滞后和人为错误。</p>



<p class="gt-block">It <strong>同步房间库存</strong> 实时之间 <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/choosing-the-right-property-management-system-for-your-hotel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">酒店的 pms</a> 或中央预订系统和所连接的分销渠道，如OTA、GDS等。</p>

<p>这样，渠道经理会自动更新所有渠道的可用性，因此</p>



<p>您可以确保所有渠道的房间供应情况都是一致的。</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">为什么您应该拥有酒店渠道管理系统？</h2>



<p>除了节省时间和避免重复预订之外，实施渠道管理器系统还可以带来许多有关客房库存的好处。</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1.集中库存管理</h3>



<p>渠道管理器允许您集中管理多个分销渠道的客房库存，确保一致且最新的可用性信息。</p>



<p>因此，您可以从集中仪表板查看和管理所有频道，而无需在频道之间切换。</p>

<p class="gt-block">通过 <strong>空中同步</strong>，您可以：&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>通过拖放操作轻松管理预订，&nbsp;</li>



<li>快速办理入住和退房手续，&nbsp;</li>



<li>检查付款和预订状态，&nbsp;</li>



<li>自动分配房间， <strong>全部来自一个中心位置</strong>.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. 提高在线知名度</h3>



<p class="gt-block">通过访问各种分销渠道，您可以 <strong>开拓新市场</strong> 更加轻松地吸引更多潜在客人。</p>



<p>此外，您还可以考虑社交媒体和您自己的网站，以最大限度地发挥影响力并涵盖所有的预订可能性。</p>



<p class="gt-block">因此，您可以扩大覆盖范围，从而提高在线曝光率，从而带来更多预订和 <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/how-to-increase-hotel-revenue/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">收入</a>.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>？ 笔记：</strong></h4>



<p class="gt-block">在上市 <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/best-websites-for-advertising-your-accommodation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">主要OTA</a> 是提高知名度的好方法，不要仅仅依赖大公司——相反， <strong>与更多利基渠道建立联系</strong> 以满足你的观众的需求。</p>



<p class="gt-block">例如，如果你想吸引来自中国的客人，你应该与 <em>携程或飞猪，</em><strong><em> </em></strong>这是中国游客经常使用的。</p>



<p>简而言之，将全球渠道与更多小众渠道相结合将扩大您的分销策略。</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. 利率平价</h3>



<p class="gt-block">渠道经理维护 <strong>一致的房价</strong> 在所有分销渠道中确保客人无论使用何种渠道都能获得公平透明的服务。</p>



<p>价格平价可提升客人预订体验，并通过防止跨渠道价格削减或差异来提供竞争优势。</p>



<p class="gt-block">此外，对于有效 <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/hotel-revenue-management-system/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">收入管理</a> 策略，因为它允许你 <strong>优化定价决策</strong> 并在所有渠道实施动态定价策略。</p>

<p class="gt-block">OTA SYNC 可让您针对特定时期和季节应用特殊规则，并且 <strong>调整并适应您的价格</strong> 根据市场情况， <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/how-to-increase-hotel-occupancy-in-low-season/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">季节性</a>、特殊节假日等</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://otasync.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/5-3-1024x531.webp" alt="otasync-价格适应" class="wp-image-14626"></figure>



<p>因此，您可以通过所有渠道反映的特殊折扣和价格来吸引新客人或奖励忠实客人。</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. 高效的房间分配</h3>



<p>自动分配客房库存、价格和空房情况简化了预订流程。</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>费率管理</strong>— 渠道管理器系统根据您的定价策略自动更新各个渠道的房价。</li>
</ul>



<p>因此，所有费率变化将立即反映在连接的渠道上，以保持费率平价。</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>实时更新</strong>— 新预订、取消或修改等变化会触发所有连接渠道的立即更新。&nbsp;</li>

<p>这确保所有分销合作伙伴都拥有最新的客房空置情况和价格信息。</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>可用性控制</strong>—通过渠道管理系统，您可以设置客房可用性的限制，例如最短入住天数、关闭日期和停止销售限制。&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p>这使您可以掌控并防止超额预订和任何差异。&nbsp;</p>



<p class="gt-block">例如， <strong>空中同步</strong>，您可以应用限制并设置最短和最长停留时间，以最大化收入。&nbsp;</p>



<p class="gt-block">如果您在高峰时段或活动期间设置最低入住要求，那么您可以在高峰时段入住客房，并且 <strong>防止差距</strong> 在预订日历中，从而增加入住率和收入。</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://otasync.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/6-3-1024x386.webp" alt="otasync-定价计划" class="wp-image-14627"></figure>



<p>当您设置最短和最长停留规则时，它可以让您更有效地规划人员配备、客房服务时间表和其他运营方面。</p>



<p class="gt-block">✨如果您为预订符合最低或超过最高要求的客人提供奖励或折扣，您可以 <strong>鼓励延长预订时间</strong> 和 <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/how-to-attract-more-direct-bookings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">推动直接预订</a> 通过他们的网站。</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. 节省时间和成本</h3>

<p>此外，我们可以按照您希望的频率通过电子邮件向您发送特定报告，您无需登录系统或手动设置任何参数。</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">酒店渠道管理系统中应寻找什么？</h2>



<p>渠道管理器提供的好处已经充分说明了其强大的功能。</p>



<p>尽管如此，在为您的酒店选择最佳渠道管理系统时，您还应该考虑一些事项。</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. OTA 连接</h3>



<p>我们已经提到过连接各种 OTA 和分销系统的重要性。&nbsp;</p>



<p class="gt-block">因此，选择一个提供与您的相关连接的渠道经理 <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/different-types-of-hotel-guests/">客群和利基</a>.</p>



<p class="gt-block">当然，检查经理 <strong>连接各大 OTA</strong> 以及它是否提供 API 集成或 iCal 链接以最大化分发策略。</p>



<p>iCal 链接提供了日历共享的通用格式，因此您可以轻松连接各种预订平台和分销渠道。&nbsp;</p>



<p>这种灵活性使您无需进行复杂的集成即可扩大您的覆盖范围和可见性。</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>？ 专家提示：</strong></h4>



<p>除了提供与所有主要 OTA 的连接之外，OTA SYNC 还有自己的 iCal 链接生成器，用于未在列表中的频道。</p>



<p>因此，您可以通过更新一个将更改推送到所有链接渠道的中央日历，在不同平台之间同步您的可用性日历。</p>



<p>此外，我们还提供 API 集成，因此您可以选择自定义我们提供的小部件或使用我们的 API 来开发您自己的解决方案。</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. 双向 XML 连接</h3>



<p>双向连接意味着系统不断交换有关价格、预订、可用性和限制的信息。&nbsp;</p>



<p>这样，所有数据就会不断同步并实时更新，从而消除了超额预订或价格不匹配的可能性。</p>



<p>与 XML 连接相关的另一个重要因素是渠道管理器处理预订和变更的速度。</p>



<p>速度越快，渠道之间出现差异的可能性就越小。</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>？ 专家提示：</strong></h4>



<p>OTA SYNC 的平均预订导入速度为 5 秒，并具有双向 XML 连接，可提供快速、安全的信息交换和同步。</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. 与重要系统的集成</h3>



<p>毫无疑问，频道管理器是一个强大的工具，但它不应该是一个单独的播放器。</p>



<p class="gt-block">它应该无缝集成和 <strong>兼容</strong> 有了你的经前综合症， <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/booking-engine-features/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">预订引擎</a>、CRM 以及您使用的其他系统 <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/free-hotel-management-system/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">酒店管理</a>.</p>



<p>将所有信息集中在一个地方将使酒店运营更加高效和轻松，并允许系统之间顺畅的数据流动。</p>



<p>因此，您可以最大限度地减少日常操作中的障碍和失误。</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>？ 专家提示：</strong></h4>



<p class="gt-block">我们的渠道经理 <strong>与 pms 和预订引擎的原生集成</strong>，意味着所有的更改和同步将同时进行。</p>



<p>此外，通过与预订引擎的集成，您可以将您网站上的预订系统用作额外的销售渠道，并通过所有渠道同步价格和预订。</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. 培训和系统设置</h3>



<p>切换到一个新系统总是令人紧张和害怕的，特别是如果你以前从未这样做过。</p>



<p>因此，如果可能的话，请选择具有用户友好界面、优质客户服务和足够培训的酒店渠道经理。</p>



<p>所有这些因素都可以使学习曲线变得不那么陡峭，并让你更快地上手。</p>



<p class="gt-block">你知道吗 <strong>OTA 同步</strong> <strong>入职流程</strong> 只需不到一天的时间，你 <strong>不需要外部帮助</strong> 来自客户经理？？</p>



<p>最重要的是，仪表板易于导航，非常适合新手。</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5.行动应用程式</h3>



<p>拥有移动应用程序可让您自由灵活地随时随地管理预订和日常酒店运营，并即时访问所有更新和更改。</p>



<p>因此，寻找具有用户友好且直观界面的渠道管理器是一个好主意。</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>？ 专家提示：</strong></h4>



<p class="gt-block">借助兼容 Android 和 iOS 的移动应用程序，OTA SYNC 可让您即时访问完整的 pms 功能，包括渠道管理器和 <a href="https://zh-cn.otasync.me/blog/booking-engine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">预订引擎</a>.</p>

<p>您可以随时管理和检查预订及所有重要详细信息，并只需单击即可编辑预订。</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">结束工作</h2>



<p>酒店渠道管理系统不仅仅是一个将您连接到多个分销渠道的工具。</p>



<p class="gt-block">您可以将其用作一项重要资产，以促进价格和可用性管理，最终实现 <strong>更多的预订、收入和更长期的业务</strong>.</p>



<p>尽管如此，充分利用其强大优势的最佳方式是将其与一体化 pms 集成，从而为您的酒店管理提供整体解决方案</p>

Discover what a Hotel Channel Manager System is and how it helps you streamline online bookings and maximize revenue by connecting to multiple (OTAs).

Hotel Channel Manager System - Complete Guide [2024]

Effective hotel distribution maximizes revenue, optimizes occupancy, and helps you reach a broader audience.    At the heart of efficient distribution management lies the Channel Manager system—an indispensable tool for connecting your hotel with multiple online distribution channels.    But how to benefit most from it, and what features to look for in a Channel Manager to choose the optimal one for your hotel?    Read on to find out how a top Channel Manager system can transform your hotel business.    Let’s dive in!    What is The Hotel Channel Manager System?    A Channel Manager system manages and distributes room inventory across various online booking channels.        Its primary function is to synchronize room availability, rates, and restrictions in real time across multiple distribution channels, such as:     Online travel agencies (OTAs),     Global distribution systems (GDS),     Wholesalers,    Metasearch    Booking Engines, and    Social media pages.         How Does The Hotel Channel Manager System Work?    Imagine you have units you want to advertise on, let’s say, 5 OTA channels.&nbsp;    If it weren’t for a Channel Manager, you’d have to constantly update availability and prices, which would be a very arduous and error-prone task.    However, with the Channel Manager, you can avoid over or double-bookings and eliminate time lags and human errors.    It synchronizes room inventory in real time between the hotel's pms or central reservation system and the connected distribution channels, such as OTAs, GDS, etc.        This way, the Channel Manager automatically updates availability on all channels, so    you can be sure that room availability is consistent across all those channels.    Why Should You Have a Hotel Channel Manager System?    In addition to saving time and eliminating double bookings, implementing a Channel Manager system provides a load of benefits regarding room inventory.    1. Centralized Inventory Management    A Channel Manager allows you to centrally manage room inventory across multiple distribution channels, ensuring consistent and up-to-date availability information.    Thus, you can view and manage all channels from a centralized dashboard without having to switch between channels.    ? ProTip:    With OTA SYNC, you can:&nbsp;     Easily manage reservations with drag and drop,     Do quick check-ins and -outs,     Check payment and reservation status,     Automatically assign rooms, all from a central place.         2. Increased Online Visibility    Accessing a variety of distribution channels allows you to tap into new markets more easily and attract more potential guests.    What’s more, you can also factor in social media and your own website to maximize impact and cover all booking possibilities.    Therefore, you can expand your reach, and consequently increase online visibility that will drive more bookings and revenue.    ? Note:    While listing on major OTAs is a great way to boost visibility, don’t rely solely on big players—Instead, connect with more niche channels that cater to your audience.    For example, if you want to attract guests from China, you should connect with Ctrip or Fliggy, which Chinese travelers frequently use.    Simply put, combining global channels with more niche ones will expand your distribution strategy.    3. Rate Parity    The Channel Manager maintains consistent room rates across all distribution channels to ensure fairness and transparency for guests regardless of the channel they use.    Rate parity enhances the guest booking experience and provides a competitive advantage by preventing rate undercutting or disparities across channels.    Furthermore, it is essential for effective revenue management strategies since it allows you to optimize pricing decisions and implement dynamic pricing strategies across all channels.    ? ProTip:    OTA SYNC enables you to apply special rules for certain periods and seasons and adjust and adapt your price depending on market conditions, seasonality, special holidays, etc.        Thus, you can attract new guests or reward loyal ones with special discounts and price rates that will reflect on all channels.    4. Efficient Room Distribution    Automating the distribution of room inventory, rates, and availability streamlines the booking process.     Rate Management—The Channel Manager system automates updating room rates across channels based on your pricing strategies.     Thus, all the rate changes will instantly reflect on the connected channels to maintain rate parity.     Real-Time Updates—Changes, such as new bookings, cancellations, or modifications, trigger immediate updates across all connected channels.      This ensures that all distribution partners have the most current information on room availability and rates.     Availability Controls—Through the Channel Manager system, you can set restrictions on room availability, such as the minimum length of stay, closed-out dates, and stop-sell limits.      This puts you in control to prevent overbookings and any discrepancies.&nbsp;    For example, with OTA SYNC, you can apply restrictions and set minimum and maximum stays to maximize revenue.&nbsp;    If you set minimum stay requirements during high-demand periods or events, you can fill rooms for peak periods and prevent gaps in the booking calendar, leading to increased occupancy and revenue.        When you set minimum and maximum stay rules, it allows you to plan staffing, housekeeping schedules, and other operational aspects more effectively.    ✨If you offer incentives or discounts for guests who book stays that meet the minimum or exceed the maximum requirements, you can encourage longer bookings and drive direct bookings through their website.    5. Time and Cost Savings    The Channel Manager systems automate time-consuming manual tasks, such as updating rates and availability across multiple channels, saving valuable time Furthermore, by eliminating manual errors that lead to under or overbookings, you can also reduce operational costs while boosting guest satisfaction and experience.    6. Data Analysis and Reporting    In order to make data-driven decisions and not rely on assumptions and predictions, the Channel Manager will provide you with reporting tools and analytics to:     Track performance metrics,     Monitor booking trends,     Analyze channel profitability, etc.     The valuable data and insights that you’ll collect should help you optimize revenue management strategies.    ? ProTip:    OTA SYNC’s reporting tool provides advanced analytics and helps you manage revenue, finance &amp; in-hotel reports.    Therefore, you can get insights into revenue, occupancy, length of stay, and other valuable metrics to see where your hotel shines and where it can improve.        Moreover, we can email you specific reports at your desired frequency, and you don’t need to log into the system or set any parameters manually.    What To Look For in a Hotel Channel Manager System?    The benefits that a Channel Manager provides already speak heaps of its robust features.    Nonetheless, there are a few more things you should consider when choosing the optimal channel manager system for your hotel.    1. OTA Connectivity    We’ve already mentioned how important it is to connect to various OTAs and distribution systems.&nbsp;    Thus, opt for a Channel Manager that provides connections that are relevant to your guest base and niche.    Naturally, check if the Manager connects to major OTAs and if it offers API integrations or iCal links for maximizing distribution strategies.    iCal links provide a universal format for calendar sharing, so you can easily connect with a wide range of booking platforms and distribution channels.&nbsp;    This flexibility allows you to expand your reach and visibility without the need for complex integrations.    ? ProTip:    Besides providing connections with all major OTAs, OTA SYNC also has its own iCal link generator for channels not on the list.    Therefore, you can sync your availability calendar across different platforms by updating one central calendar that pushes changes to all linked channels.    Furthermore, we offer API integration, so you can choose to customize the widgets we provide or use our API to develop your own solution.    2. 2-Way XML Connection    2-way connectivity means that the systems continuously exchange info about rates, bookings, availability, and restrictions.&nbsp;    This way, all the data is constantly in sync and updated in real time and as a result, you eliminate the chance of overbooking or a mismatched price.    Another important factor related to the XML connection is the speed at which the Channel Manager processes bookings and changes.    The faster it is, the lesser the chance of discrepancies between channels.    ? ProTip:    With an average reservation import speed of 5 seconds and a 2-way XML connection, OTA SYNC provides fast and secure info exchange and synchronization.    3. Integrations with Important Systems    The Channel Manager is a powerful tool, without a doubt, but it shouldn't be a solo player.    It should seamlessly integrate and be compatible with your pms, Booking Engine, CRM, and other systems you use regarding hotel management.    Centralizing all info in one place will make hotel running much more efficient and easier, allowing for smooth data flow between the systems.    Consequently, you’ll minimize hiccups and missteps in daily operations.    ?
