Channel Manager:

Online Channel Management for Hotel Accommodations

The operation of the OCTORATE Channel Manager, in collaboration with GSQUARED , is revolutionary as it allows the integration of ALL your sales channels through a central cloud-based application. This provides you with an extremely easy way to manage your property’s rooms and rates.

With the online booking system, the Channel Manager ensures that properties (regardless of size) experience increased revenue and reduced time and cost for updating prices on online booking and availability systems.

The OCTORATE Channel Manager can connect with existing Property Management Systems (PMS). This means that those who do not have or do not wish to install another PMS at their property can utilize their existing PMS online through the Channel Manager.

Features include:

  • Depending on the chosen package, there is the possibility to connect an unlimited number of sales channels with over 150 different booking systems simultaneously.
  • Rooms are simultaneously distributed across all connected online booking channels.
  • Regardless of which channel the booking came from, availability is updated across all channels at the same time.
  • Different booking, cancellation, and pricing policies can be created for each channel separately, and these can be managed through a single computer and screen.
  • Easy management of availability and pricing through a single computer and screen from any location with a connection to the Channel Manager.
  • The booking and channel management system connects with the hotel’s website and informs customers of availability from all connected channels.
  • It also provides the ability to record and display customer reviews from connected channels.
  • It records competitive pricing from rival properties and allows for locking in prices with specific discounts.
  • There is an iPhone and Android app available to inform customers about availability.
  • The Channel Manager can be connected to the property’s Facebook page with an integrated availability calendar and booking engine with the option to use discount coupons.
  • Integration with TripConnect on TripAdvisor is available to reach more travelers with the aim of increasing your bookings.
  • Continuous support is provided to properties with immediate communication in case of any software changes.
  • If requested by the client, G-Squared takes care of the complete setup of the Channel Manager and its activation across all required channels to ensure it is ready for use upon delivery.
