As a hotelier, your properties might have been listed on various channels. A channel manager can help you in syncing your inventories across those listed channels. 

Although there are plenty of Channel Managers available in the market, selecting the right one for you is critical for your business. 

What is role of Channel Manager?

A channel manager is software that connects your PMS (Property Management System) to other distribution channels like OTAs and hotel Websites.

It’s main role is to update the rates and inventories which are available across all the room booking sites and eliminate the chance of overbookings.

Choosing the right Channel Manager for your hotel

Consider the following tips will guide you in choosing the right channel manager for business. 

How product demo is important for the Channel Manager?

Demonstrations are a fantastic way of seeing the products in action. It will give you the chance to fully understand the functionality of the system and identify any limitations.

But most importantly it allows you to make sure that the channel manager is going to fulfill your distribution requirements.

NOTE: The providers demonstrate the product with the dummy data to explain the full functionality of the system. This may not exactly meet your expectations so you need to be aware of it.

Real-time Connectivity and pooled Inventory for your Channel Manager 

One of the best things about hotel channel managers is that they connect in real-time. This is important because it stops the problem of having too many bookings for the same room or overbooking.

To make sure this works well, the channel manager uses XML connectivity. This makes sure that your room prices and how many rooms are available are always correct on all the websites.

Another smart way to manage these bookings is by using a pooled inventory model. In this model, instead of individually assigning rooms one by one to each website, all rooms are pooled together.

This means you can put rooms on all the websites at once without worrying that too many people will book the same room.

This is one of the strategies to avoid overbooking. You can learn more about the strategies to avoid overbooking in your hotel.

Optimizing Distribution Channels for your Channel Manager

To distribute your hotel’s inventory effectively, identify the key channels or OTAs for your business. Take a close look at the channels that a potential channel manager supports.

Keep in mind that the importance of channels can vary by region. 

To get the best deals on their stay, Guests prefer to search their stay on the different channels or OTAs.

These channels help in OTA online distribution which enhances your hotel’s visibility to attract more guests.

Appropriate Training and Support to your Channel Manager

With any new system, users will have questions and face those issues that require troubleshooting. So training and constant support are mandatory.

Training should include all key members of staff such as all members. This includes the members of the revenue management team and the front office team.

Other key members of staff in the hotels such as sales and marketing should be included in the training. 

If you plan on working with a provider that is overseas, the same provider may also do the location-specific visits that may come to your hotel specifically.

Ongoing continuous training is critical. This helps to understand reaping the full benefits of any channel management solution that you decide to go with. 

Flexible Channel Management Mapping

Channel management mapping is a process of connecting room types of rate plans within the channel manager to all of the different room types and rate plans across all of the individual channels. 

This way everything is connected. It’s important that mapping monitoring is included as a part of the contract

This means that if anything happens between your generic setup and any of the channels, the provider can take responsibility and fix the issue for you. 

Mapping monitoring should be included as a part of your standard contract, this involves notifying you of any mapping issues as and when they occur and then fixing them at the same time.

A good channel manager should be able to integrate with the hotel’s PMS (Property Management System) and booking engine.

Effective Customer Support

Customer support is essential. Once you get past all the sales and marketing, this is where you’ll find out what a company is truly worth!

It’s important that when you’re evaluating references you check with existing clients about that customer support experience. You need to make sure that they will be there for you when it matters. 

You should be able to receive a response from the channel manager team through chat, e-mail ticketing or phone within a few hours at max.

Security and Safety of Channel Manager

Recently a lot of fraudulent activities have been going on in the hotel industry. Even with big hotel chains, it is hard to minimize data breaches. 

As the channel manager deals with guests’ personal and payment information, the hotels need to invest in software with robust security. 

You can check with the PCI – DSS certification and GDPR compliance of the channel manager before making the buying decision.

Conclusion 

As a hotelier, the decision to choose the best channel manager for business property is very important for the growth of your business.

With high competition and customer expectations, businesses must focus on delivering smooth, efficient, and personalized support. Here are some top tips to improve your Ecommerce Support Services and boost customer satisfaction.

1. Offer Multichannel Support

Customers want to reach you through their preferred channels. Whether it’s email, live chat, social media, or phone, multichannel support ensures easy access. A unified system helps your team provide consistent and quick responses, improving the customer experience.

2. Use Live Chat with AI Bots

Live chat is a powerful tool for Ecommerce Support Services. It offers instant help, reducing wait times. AI chatbots can handle simple queries like order tracking, while human agents tackle complex issues. This mix of automation and human support ensures efficiency and personalization.

3. Personalize Customer Interactions

Personalization builds strong customer relationships. Use customer data like past purchases and preferences to tailor responses. Addressing customers by name and suggesting products they might like makes them feel valued. This boosts loyalty and trust in your Ecommerce Support Services.

4. Provide 24/7 Support

Online shopping happens anytime, so your support should too. Offering 24/7 Ecommerce Support Services ensures customers get help whenever they need it. If 24/7 human support isn’t possible, use chatbots or self-service options during off-hours.

5. Create a Detailed FAQ Section

A well-organized FAQ section can answer common questions and reduce the workload on your team. Include information on shipping, returns, payments, and products. Make it easy to navigate so customers can find answers quickly without contacting support.

6. Train Your Support Team

Your support team represents your business. Regular training ensures they know your products, policies, and tools. Teach them problem-solving and communication skills to handle tough situations with care. A well-trained team is key to great Ecommerce Support Services.

7. Use Customer Feedback

Customer feedback is invaluable for improving your Ecommerce Support Services. Use surveys, reviews, and direct feedback to find pain points and areas to improve. Act on their suggestions to show customers their opinions matter.

8. Simplify Returns and Refunds

A complicated returns process frustrates customers. Make it easy with clear instructions, prepaid return labels, and quick refunds. Ensure your team can handle return-related queries efficiently. A smooth returns experience can turn a negative situation into a positive one.

9. Be Proactive

Don’t wait for customers to come to you with problems. Monitor their behavior, like abandoned carts or delayed shipments, and offer solutions before they contact you. For example, if a shipment is late, inform the customer and offer a discount. Proactive support shows you care about their satisfaction.

The right tools can improve your Ecommerce Support Services. CRM systems, helpdesk software, and analytics platforms streamline workflows and track customer interactions. These tools help your team deliver faster, accurate, and personalized support.
