Booking engine and channel review

A reading of how rates, allotments, and restrictions travel from the PMS to the booking engine and onward to the channels you actually sell.

Typically 5–10 working days Quoted after we list the channels and engine in scope

A booking engine can look tidy on a staging site and still send the wrong child policy to a channel, or drop a stop-sell for an hour while the revenue manager is in a meeting. We compare what the engine displays, what the channel shows, and what arrives in the PMS.

The review is useful before a multi-year channel contract, after a migration, or when reservations keep reconstructing bookings by hand. We do not run your revenue meeting. We show where the applications disagree.

What we examine

  • Rate parity between engine, brand.com, and contracted OTAs
  • Allotment and stop-sell behaviour during high occupancy
  • Restriction mapping: CTA, CTD, min stay, closed to arrival
  • Modification and cancellation rules as the guest sees them
  • Extra-bed, child, and package handling across channels
  • Failure states: what the desk does when a booking does not land

What you leave with

A channel-by-channel discrepancy log and a recommended order of fixes, including items that belong to the vendor.
