Let me provide you with my experience and work.
1) Short Description regarding my experience:-
I have more than fifteen years of experience in web application development and specially for hotel domain. I am currently working for some running channel managers who are top in their country in the hotel domain. They have 400+ OTAs integrated into their system and are managing their bookings fully automated. With just one click, users can manage their availability and rates without going site by site. I have worked with almost all the top OTAs who are leading websites for bookings all over the world. Some examples I can give you are: Booking.com, Expedia.com, Airbnb.com, Hotelbeds.com, Hostelworld.com, HRS.com, Trip.com....and many more..
2) Some more about the work:-
I have developed a property management system, channel management system, booking engine, price comparison engine, invoice management, booking engine API. Functionality of these systems in short:-
a) Property management system (PMS)- Property registers their hotel and then room and rate plans to manage their inventory, price, hotel resources etc.. Users have the functionality to update inventory and prices on a single click to channels like Expedia, booking.com, Airbnb etc. They can manage their hotel rooms and also their listings on big network of selling sites through the system.
b) Channel management system (CMS)- Its totally automated system. The motive of this system is to synchronize the bookings and inventory on real time. As soon as the reservation made on different channels we collect and recalculate the availability/inventory and send sync on all channels. User can also manage their pricing according to demand, so revenue grows with help of system.
c) Price comparison engine:- Its game changer tool for hotel domain. The system compares hotel prices from a different channels and suggests to the hotel what should be price. So its also a profitable tool to
grow the revenue against competitor.
d) Booking engine & widget:- I have worked for different providers who are meta search and provide the plate form for comparing different hotels prices. The hotel could add itself on these engine and competitive the others with their challenging prices. Some example of them are Tripadvisor, Trivago, Google hotel. Also in booking engine we have worked for Payment gateway, PCI compliance etc.
e) Different invoices tools for room level revenue, property level revenue for reporting purposes.
f) These OTA also provides different kind of API, so one of them are promo api. The top of them like Booking.com and Expedia.com provide these kind of api and i have implemented them to manage these functionality through channel manager
