ChannelGain Flowchart: Managing online distribution
 
Helping hoteliers worldwide manage online distribution in a jiffy

From managing multiple channels for room-distribution to maintaining Rate Parity across all channels, ChannelGain helps hoteliers perform tedious tasks easily and efficiently. This product is a web-based platform with the capability of managing multiple extranets.

Rates, inventory and restrictions can be managed across multiple merchant and retail distribution sites from the efficiency of a single interface. We aim to give our clients total control of all online inventories while cutting down on human resources diverted for updating rates and other tedious tasks.

ChannelGain has proved to be a valuable tool for the hospitality business due to these unique features.


Features

  • Single Log-In for updating multiple channels: Connect and change for all channels at one go.
     
  • Linked Rooms: This unique feature offers fantastic flexibility to our hotelier clients. It lets you use one single master room to apply price updates for several room-types on different extranets. It automatically changes rates for different kinds of rooms in proportion to the room rate you choose to update. And you save time while updating your room rates. You can even customize this feature to set up pricing rules between various room/ rate types across multiple extranets.
     
  • Auto Remapping: Each time you create new room or rate types, ChannelGain gives you the capability to fetch and auto re-map all the new room rates and room types across multiple extranets.

  • Update Calendar: Powerful Update method that provides several flexible methods of sending updates.
     
  • 90-day updates unlike most other channel-management tools that allow updates for 31 days at a time, ChannelGain will allow you to update 93 days (three months) at a time.
     
  • Integration with ideas and easyrms
     
  • ChannelGain is IDeaS and EasyRMS compatible, which means you can now integrate your IDeaS subscription with your ChannelGain subscription. This lets you accept, modify or reject rate recommendations and push out the approved updates to different channels through a single interface. This intelligent business tool lets you do away with redundant business practices like manually copying and pasting.

  • Booking Fetch: Reservation Retrieval lets you see the details of a specific reservation made through the reservation confirmation number. You will be able to view the location of your hotel, check in and check out dates, room types, rates, which channel its been booked from, number of guests and other guest details.

  • CPI (Common Pool of Inventory): CPI lets you create a Common pool of inventory allocated for the channels supported, and automatically reduces allocations or stops selling based on rooms being sold by those channels. So you do not have to manage allocations manually based on reservations being done by these channels individually.

  • The flexibility to support flat rate or percentage discounting.
     
  • The option to select a second price setting, for example, if you want to set your inventory price higher but also give an advance purchase rate discount.
     
  • Set date ranges: you can set your prices according to a date/ day. This is useful for seasonal hotels and setting different midweek and weekend prices.

  • Copy linked rooms feature: This is an upcoming feature that is especially useful for the seasonal hotels that want to use the same setup of rooms and channels, but set different prices/ percentages. This simple copy option will duplicate the existing linked room setup, and paste it, allowing hoteliers to set the new settings for that season.
