What a channel manager does
A channel manager keeps your rates and availability consistent across the OTAs and your own website. Without one, each extranet is updated by hand and overbookings are a matter of time.
Channel manager
One inventory, every channel.
Connect to the barrates channel manager — included free for hotels on goDirects and Hotaler — so rates and availability stay in sync between your website, the Hotaler marketplace, OTAs and GDS.
