Challenges of Manual Updates

Updating data manually using traditional methods brings with it a host of challenges:

  • Loss of time and effort to manage room inventory on different channels
  • Loss of revenue due to human errors (For e.g.: Room availability may not be updated instantly online on all channels leading to incorrect data. This leads to wastage of available room nights or may lead to overbooking issues.)
  • Continuous conflicts with travel agents and OTAs due to incorrect data online
  • Threat to loss of credibility due to rate disparity

A Channel Manager is the key to all these issues. It’s easy to use the hotel’s channel management software to manage room inventory and rates from any location. It’s simple to distribute room nights through a single interface.
