Channel manager Live

An oversell is not a failure

An overbooking allowance per type, and a booking that lands into a full type goes on the chart waiting for a room — visible, draggable, decided by the desk.

Every channel manager promises to prevent overbooking and every hotel is overbooked anyway, because a busy night's last two bookings cross in the air. The product's answer is not to pretend it cannot happen.

The allowance

Per type, the hotel says how many rooms past its count the channels may sell. Zero for a small hotel; two or three for a city hotel that knows its no-show rate.

The booking that lands into a full type

It is applied — the guest, the price, the payer, all of it — and given no room. It sits in its type's lane on the chart, drawn as a card, draggable into any room that frees up, upgradeable a category if none does. It is in the arrivals list; it is in the reservations list; it is never invisible.

What the desk does

Drag it into the room that a cancellation just opened; or upgrade it; or, on the day, walk the guest to the sister hotel from the CRS. Each is one move with a name on it.

The channel managerPart of the product, not a second subscription: rates, inventory and restrictions out; bookings, modifications and cancellations in; every call kept. A booking arrives, and is on the chart in the same requestThe channel's booking is applied inline — guest, room, price, tax and payer — and the acknowledgement says whether it landed, and if not, why. What is pushed, and whenRates, rooms and restrictions go the moment they change. The channel is told more than we have on purpose, and told less when the house keeps rooms back. A queue that is not moving says soEvery push has a status, an attempt count and the error; a queue that has stalled is a sentence on the screen, not a silence. The sync logEvery call both ways, hotel by hotel, with the request body and the response body — a dispute with a channel is settled by reading. The OTA is who we collect from, not who the invoice is forAn OTA that collected from the guest is the payer; the guest is still the person on the invoice; the commission is what the channel said, never a silent zero. The channel's credentials live in the productThe connection's keys are in an encrypted vault the application role cannot read, with a trail that survives a key change.
