Guestline announces new channel manager interfaces to provide hoteliers with more choice and online visibility

Online and mobile bookings are now the norm, therefore it’s imperative for hoteliers to command a strong global and local online presence and provide a clear, easy route for guests to book. However, this shouldn’t be at the expense of your staff and operations. It’s similarly vital this is done in a seamless, automated manner in the backend. As such, Guestline has expanded its online distribution options by integrating with global and local leaders D-EDGE, Cubilis, SmartHOTEL, DIRS21, and Hotel-Spider. This will enable Guestline hoteliers across the globe to automate their end-to-end online booking process across multiple channels to deliver an improved, more secure guest experience, and generate more reservations with less administration.

The seamless 2-way interface between Guestline Rezlynx PMS and the channel manager saves staff time by accurately synchronising real-time availability, rates and inventory across multiple channels, eliminating common errors usually caused by manual upload. Additionally, it helps hoteliers to deliver a better guest experience by reducing overbookings and centralising bookings and guest/ payment information directly in the PMS.

Sara Canatario, Product Manager at Guestline said, ‘I am delighted to expand the Guestline platform and add a new ‘Channel managers’ interface category. These integrations will enable our international hoteliers to have a strong strategic global and local online presence, boosting their occupancy and revenue while saving them time to focus on the guest by simplifying, automating and centralising the full online distribution process’.

Robert Vogt, Guestline’s Director of Business Development, Benelux commented, ‘The onboarding of Cubilis and SmartHOTEL are great additions to our platform and will help us strengthen our reach across the Benelux region where they already have a strong following. Along with D-EDGE, the new channels managers will enable our hoteliers to diversify and expand their online presence simply and efficiently.’

Celine Weckerle, Director of Business Development, DACH added, ‘We’re pleased to welcome the new partners on board - DIRS21 and Hotel-Spider are market leaders across the DACH territory so will certainly complement our existing portfolio and expand our presence in this market helping hoteliers centralise and automate their distribution processes to ultimately gain more bookings and revenue.’

Combining technical excellence with digital marketing expertise, D-EDGE brings a holistic hospitality technology infrastructure under one roof.

The Cubilis® Channel Manager is the perfect tool for online channel management of availability and rates on many booking channels.

The SmartHOTEL platform ensures that bookings, payment information and guest profiles are synchronised across all your hotel software and booking channels.

DIRS21 is a web-based reservations and channel mangement system, helping hoteliers open up the world of online distribution.

Hotel Spider's channel manager allows you to manage multiple OTA's via one central screen resulting in less overbookings and less administration.
