OTA sync

Channel Manager for hotels: one price across every platform

Change a rate or close dates in ForHotel and within seconds it is live on Booking.com, Airbnb and every other channel. Bookings come back into the tape chart on their own, and a sold room leaves sale everywhere: the same room cannot be sold twice.

What is a Channel Manager?

A channel manager is software that connects a hotel to online travel agencies (OTAs) and keeps availability, rates and restrictions identical across every platform at once.

The more OTAs a hotel appears on, the more bookings it gets — and the more manual work it takes. Updating a price on eight platforms means eight extranet logins and eight chances to get it wrong. A channel manager removes exactly that arithmetic: the channels multiply, the work does not.

Mechanics

How does a Channel Manager work?

The exchange runs continuously and in both directions. From you to the channels go rates, availability, minimum stays and date closures: you edit them only in ForHotel, and the system translates each value into the format of the specific platform. From the channels back to you come new bookings, changes and cancellations, which land in the tape chart and immediately reduce the rooms left for sale everywhere else.

Real-time updates across every channel

Change a rate or close dates and every connected platform has the update within seconds, in its own format. Rate parity holds on its own, with no manual cross-checking.

Overbooking becomes impossible

One room inventory serves every channel: the moment a room sells on Booking.com it disappears from sale everywhere else. No need to hold rooms back as a buffer — you can sell the whole inventory.

Bookings with no manual entry

A booking from a channel lands in the front desk with the guest, dates and amount already filled in. Nobody retypes data from an extranet, so there is nothing to get wrong.

Direct sales and OTAs in one panel

Bookings from your own website through the Booking Engine and bookings from OTAs land in the same inventory. No separate quotas, no guessing where to leave rooms free.

Flexible selling rules

Sell every room category or only part of it, set a minimum length of stay, close arrivals on specific dates — the rule set is yours, not the marketplace's.

Multi-currency rate plans

Rate plans can run in several currencies, not just one base currency. For properties selling into more than one market that removes the manual FX conversion on every price change.
