Channel manager
Hotel software that syncs room availability and rates across booking sites (OTAs).
Definition
A channel manager keeps a hotel's room availability and rates in sync across all the online travel agencies (OTAs) it sells on (MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, Goibibo, Agoda), so a booking on one instantly updates the others, preventing double-bookings.
It is usually built into a hotel PMS rather than bought separately.
