Ever wondered why some hotels seem to effortlessly fill their rooms while others struggle with seasonal swings? The secret often lies not in their location or amenities, but in their digital distribution strategy. I’ve seen small boutique hotels outperform larger competitors by mastering one crucial tool: their channel manager.
This is where SiteMinder shines. Imagine controlling your rates across 400+ booking channels from a single dashboard, whether you’re using InnQuest roomMaster, Mews, Opera, Maestro, or any of 100+ other property management systems. From global travel agents through Sabre and Amadeus to a stunning direct booking engine on your own website, SiteMinder puts you in complete control of your distribution. And yes, if you’re using Little Hotelier it integrates seamlessly – but it’s equally powerful as a standalone solution for properties of any size.
Think of SiteMinder as your property’s digital command center. Whether you’re running Opera, Mews, or Little Hotelier, it seamlessly amplifies your existing setup to orchestrate your global distribution strategy. With just a few clicks, your rooms appear on industry giants like Booking.com and Expedia, alongside emerging powerhouses like Hopper and Airbnb – all perfectly synchronized in real-time. No more rate disparity headaches or double bookings. When a room sells on one platform, it instantly updates across all 400+ channels. It’s like having a revenue manager working 24/7, ensuring your rates and availability are always perfectly aligned across every corner of the digital marketplace.
The channel manager is only one aspect of SiteMinder, however. The main power comes from its integrations with all the hotel apps available on their marketplace. A lot of other web-based PMS systems integrate well with partners, but the list of partners that SiteMinder connects with is quite impressive. It can connect with some of my preferred options, Guestfolio (now Cendyn) and GuestRevu for guest emails, surveys, and more; HelloShift for guest connection or staff communication; Revenue management solutions with LodgIQ and HotelSoft; and lots more. The list is extensive to also include self check-in kiosks and other automated systems.
The best part about SiteMinder is the affordability of it. The price is dependent on the number of rooms the hotel and offers discounts on the services for multi-property owners.
