Booking.com has partnerships with more than 600 Channel Manager and PMS providers around the world, and only a few – less than 15% – develop the highest level of partnership. IdoBooking is among them! Read why you should bet on the Premier Partner of the largest OTA when choosing a system to handle your accommodation bookings.
Premier Partner of Booking.com
For the sixth year in a row we have maintained the title of Booking.com’s Premier Partner. If you’re wondering whether these distinctions affect your business – the answer is simple: of course!
Behind the partner program is a series of constantly reviewed business and technical requirements that a supplier must meet. Our Premier Partner status indicates:
- Superior connection quality, which translates into minimized risk of overbooking and technical problems in synchronization with the key sales channel
- Advanced capabilities – with us you can do more in one place – rich range of synchronization features means no need to change settings in several places and manage daily processes, i.e. communication with bookers, in several applications
- Quick access to support and new features – Premier partners have priority support from Booking.com and access to the latest technologies
What to look for when choosing a Channel Manager?
If you are just facing this choice:
- Verify what features you need. – prepare your checklist and think about what rental service problem you want to solve – proper preparation for this decision is the key to success
- Test before you decide – implementing Channel Manager, is a choice for years. To make it easier, take advantage of the opportunity to test and consult with an Expert to make sure you find what you need
- Think ahead – choose a Connectivity Partner that provides you with the ability to scale your business – quickly add new listings to OTAs directly from the app, synchronize communication with bookers, low threshold for entry into direct bookings, facilitate settlements with apartment owners, or the ability to create your own API integrations
