One of the key areas that Channel Managers have had to overcome is the variation in periods you can update a specific channel. As a rule of thumb you can never update further than your current agreement with a specific channel. Some channel managers have a simple remedy for that, they only update between 30-60 days into the future. Well this is something that we took a strong view at the outset when building our interface.
So here is how we deal with this. With Booking Booster you can update up to 12 month into the future, this allows you to keep up to date with season rates too. How do we do this, you might ask, here is we do it. When updates hit the channels beyond the period agreed, we throttle the updates. You might have updated 12 month ahead, using the Booking Booster worksheet.
But the updates are actually only are done for the months that are allowed by the channels. Each property has their own dedicated Booking Booster Acount Manager and they monitor these things. When agreements are extended, we automatically deploy a “resubmission” of what is already stored in the Booking Booster application.
We boost your inventory so to speak. We believe in intelligent updating, with less limitations.
