SiteMinder’s role in streamlining operations
Leng discovered SiteMinder through a previous hotel contact, and the decision to choose SiteMinder was driven by its fast support and user-friendly features. SiteMinder’s channel manager, hotel business intelligence, and PMS integration played a crucial role in streamlining the hotel’s operations.
“One of the key challenges we faced was the time-consuming task of updating allocations and rates on different extranets. With SiteMinder, this process became remarkably efficient, saving the team valuable time and resources,” she explained.
“We now sell on more than 25 channels like Booking.com, Trip.com, WebBeds, Agoda, Expedia, Traveloka, Klook, and Hotelbeds. Since implementing SiteMinder, we noticed a significant decrease in parity issues online. Rates, now sourced from a single reliable source, contributed to a more consistent and accurate online presence.”
