SiteMinder

The definition of a channel manager is that it’s an automated online tool that gives you more access to online channels and more control over your bookings. A channel manager allows you to sell all your rooms on all your connected booking sites (e.g. Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, the GDS, your website), at the same time. It automatically updates your availability in real-time on all sites and your PMS, when a booking is made, or when changes are made to your inventory. This means that a channel manager can dramatically help you drive reservations, increase revenue, save time, and reduce human errors.

Yes! You can try a channel manager for free at your hotel. SiteMinder offers a free 14-day trial of its platform so you can see the channel manager feature in action and enjoy all the benefits. If you’re satisfied, you’ll move to a paid subscription. There are no lock-in contracts however – you can cancel anytime.

Yes, if you’d prefer to watch a demo before starting your free trial you absolutely can. A demo is a great way to get an idea of what the channel manager feature offers and how it will benefit your hotel.

A booking engine is an online tool that allows you to take direct reservations from guests on your website, via social media channels, and via metasearch sites. The main purpose is to reduce your reliance on third-party booking sites, gain greater control of your guest relationships, and give travellers an easy and secure way to make a booking. It will also help you maximise your hotel’s direct revenue, guest loyalty, and profit.

We believe the best online booking engine for your hotel is SiteMinder’s hotel booking engine. SiteMinder is used by 41,600+ hoteliers around the world and is consistently voted as a top provider at the HotelTechAwards.

A hotel website builder is an online tool that enables you to create professional and easy to manage websites by leveraging pre-built templates and designs. When using a hotel website builder, you can easily customise your website’s theme, and add content and images to reflect your hotel’s brand. This all means you don’t need to know how to code and that you don’t need to use a costly web developer to create a website.

SiteMinder’s website builder not only provides you with the ability to build a beautiful and professional hotel website, it’s also seamlessly integrated with SiteMinder’s hotel commerce platform. This gives you a single place to manage your direct bookings (including a booking engine and payment processing) and your third-party distribution.
