The key to increasing the odds of winning in today’s market: efficient utilization of all available sales channels! Ordinary Channel Management Systems offer only partial solutions – the Advanced Distribution Manager by hotelwebservice features functionality beyond the basics!
The ADM represents the next generation of channel management. In conventional systems, rates and availability are administered within the extranet of the IDS. The Advanced Distribution Manager is your tool for channel yielding. Every single electronic distribution channel is being evaluated in terms of relevance to your hotel and managed accordingly, based on your definitions.
How do we do that? We place the channel management system where you receive all electronic bookings – inside your CRS. Once installed, the system enables you to manage availability and rate parity in all distribution channels - from a single platform and with a single log-in.
The pro-active programming of our ADM automatically reacts to a defined set of rules concerning inventory management, length-of-stay restrictions and other parameters in every single IDS.
Automatic reservation retrieval of electronic bookings (channels & GDS)
Automatic adjustment of availability in all channels
Statistical evaluation and production reports of all electronic bookings
Reduced risk of over-booking through booking retrieval (all the way to your PMS, if desired)
Grouping of various IDS and allotment allocation based on relevance to your property.
Allotment allocation (min/max) by channel
Protected and reserved inventory for your least expensive booking channel – our own homepage
Optimized rate strategy, even via your booking engine
Price management and availability rules are clearly presented on all channels
Bookings bound for your PMS
Aside from bookings coming from the GDS, your system will now retrieve bookings from the IDS (all the way to your PMS, if desired). Every electronic reservation can now trigger a recalculation of your overall inventory and result in an automatic reconciliation and adjustment of pricing and availability – for all channels.
