Hotel Channel Manager

Simplifying online distribution

Included in the monthly Caterbook license fee are our basic distribution channels. This includes links to Booking.com, Expedia, TXGB, Google's Free Booking Links product, a GDS provider and finally, iCal.

For many properties this gives a range of opportunities from commission-free (Google), to lower cost Destination Management Organisations like Visit Devon via TXGB and the the familiar OTA's and GDS.

If you're looking for additional channels, we can also work with most of the major travel brands like Airbnb, TripAdvisor, Lastminute, Trivago, Agoda etc via our channel manager integration which can link with hundreds of other sites.

Booking.com and Expedia

Caterbook can update your booking.com & Expedia accounts with two way integration in real time, downloading reservations straight to the calendar, allocating bookings to available rooms automatically. Both guest's own and virtual payment cards from the Online Travel Agent are tokenised and stored securely at no additional cost using our payment gateway.

TXGB

Our integration with Tourism Exchange enables Caterbook properties to be bookable in real time on their local and regional Destination Management Organisations (DMO's). These sites generally charge significantly lower commissions than OTA's - some are even 0%. Many properties in your area will be working with a PMS that can't update these sites, so if you get listed you have a greater chance of being booked.

GDS Integration

The Global Distribution System or GDS powers bookings through over 600,000 business and leisure travel agents the world over. 

Caterbook hotel pms integrates with the Global Distribution System providing an important alternative distribution source for modern hotels seeking to their maximize revenues throughout the year.

Google Hotel Free Booking Links

Google is shaking up travel, much as it has with other areas of online business. The new free Google hotel ads show your real-time pricing and availability on the google search results page under your My Business listing, with the reservation completing on your own website's booking engine meaning more reservations landing in the property management system, all commission free and an important part of an independent hotel's digital marketing.

Channel Management Module

For properties wishing to work with additional OTA's, Caterbook has an integration with a third party channel manager with links to literally hundreds of OTA's, Meta Search, Wholesalers and GDS providers. For a fixed monthly fee, you can connect to as many of these channels as you want. Most popular sites are supported including Airbnb, TripAdvisor, Hotels Combined, Trivago, Agoda, Hotel Beds, Mr & Mrs Smith, Lastminute, Hoo, 5pm. If you're working with a partner who isn't listed here, we can probably connect to them - please feel free to ask!
