Back are the times when properties can be fully booked at pre-pandemic levels. Refreshing inventory in all distribution channels as fast as possible is a hot topic again. For channels with 1-way connectivity (meaning active distribution of prices, allotment and restrictions from the Channel Manager without reservations returned from OTA) there is an option to refresh inventory more often. This can increase performance of those channels when inventory is being sold out there fast or being auto–replenished after a cancellation.
Please reach out to your Support Team to discuss switching 1-way channels into 2-way connectivity to make use of the basic Channel Manager feature of retrieving reservations. Alternatively, if turning on 2-way connectivity is not an option, please discuss with your Support Team sending even duplicate data on inventory to selected channels. Please note that distributing data more often might require switching to 1 of the higher product versions of the Channel Manager.
