What is a channel manager?
It is the connection that pushes your availability, rates and restrictions to Booking.com, Airbnb and other platforms, and pulls their bookings back into one calendar.
A channel manager can be a standalone tool or part of a property management system (PMS). Standalone tools only solve syncing; a PMS also knows the guest, the payment, the check-in and the invoice.
A standalone tool usually means one more login, one more monthly fee and the same guest entered in two places.
How Ovilo handles it
Channel management in Ovilo is part of the system, not an add-on: the same Booking.com reservation carries guest messages, check-in, NTIS status and the invoice.
