Challenges of Manual Updates

Updating data manually using traditional methods brings with it a host of challenges:

  • Loss of time and effort to manage room inventory on different channels
  • Loss of revenue due to human errors (For e.g.: Room availability may not be updated instantly online on all channels leading to incorrect data. This leads to wastage of available room nights or may lead to overbooking issues.)

Once you have gone through the training and set up the software, the system works great. I love being able to offer online reservations directly to my customers. Plus the the 2 way feed of direct booking with channels like booking.com to avoid double bookings with no hassle is time saving for me.
