Distribution technology

Channel Manager technology for synchronising accommodation distribution.

Channel Manager connects the operational data source to sales channels so that prices, availability, restrictions and reservations remain aligned throughout the distribution process.

Distribution flow

One change must arrive in the right place.

01
AvailabilityInventory change must be consistent across connected channels.
02
Prices and rulesDistribution must respect business rules and data source.
03
ReservationsNew bookings must reach the operational system without losing context.
04
ReliabilityThe integration layer must anticipate delays, errors, and retries at the architecture level.
Ecosystem

PMS ↔ Channel Manager ↔ sales channels.

We view distribution as a data flow system, not as an isolated screen. This is precisely why the Channel Manager architecture depends on a quality data model and clear integration rules.

Distribution is not just sending a price

A Channel Manager maps units, rate plans and restrictions to sales channels, then synchronises availability and bookings through push or pull updates. To avoid overbooking, each change must have a clear source and processing status relative to PMS as an operational source of truth.

A production workflow needs idempotency, retry policies, a distinction between transient and permanent failures, and monitoring for rejected mappings and delays. This type of integration layer naturally builds on API integrations, not to manual extranet checking.
