Description
In the early 2000s, Australia saw the creation of ChannelManager, which emerged as the pioneering Channel Manager globally to integrate a property management system, thereby streamlining operations for various accommodations ranging from bed and breakfasts to hotels and hostels. This innovative cloud-based platform allows users to connect from any device—whether it's a smartphone, tablet, or desktop—without incurring installation fees or hidden charges. ChannelManager continually evolves by adding new features and capabilities to remain competitive in the fast-paced hospitality sector, and notably, it was the first to incorporate a virtual banking terminal directly into its system, eliminating the burden of hefty monthly merchant fees. With everything consolidated into a single, intuitive interface, there’s no requirement for multiple systems, making it an all-in-one solution. Additionally, it offers a customizable booking engine that supports multiple languages and currencies, ensuring that users can optimize their bookings directly through their websites while catering to a diverse clientele. This commitment to innovation and efficiency makes ChannelManager an invaluable asset in today's dynamic hospitality landscape.
Description
Zurich Systems is a technology provider focused on hotel solutions, particularly in Global Distribution System (GDS) reservations as well as channel management for various types of accommodations, including independent hotels, hotel groups, inns, and resorts. With their GDS service, they link properties to more than 500,000 travel agents globally and a variety of corporate booking platforms, allowing for an extensive market presence. Noteworthy aspects of their service include the ability to activate GDS access within 48 hours, the absence of setup and monthly fees, no minimum payment obligations, and a lack of long-term contracts. The business model they utilize is performance-driven, meaning hotels receive payments only after guests have checked out. Furthermore, Zurich Systems boasts compatibility with over 60 channel managers and property management systems, and provides an easy-to-use web-based control panel for managing rates and availability efficiently. They also offer additional services such as complimentary corporate and net rate agreement setups, consortia/RFP/Lanyon services, and travel agency commission processing settlements at no extra charge, ensuring a comprehensive support system for their clients. This approach not only simplifies hotel management but also enhances revenue opportunities for their customers, making Zurich Systems a pivotal player in the hotel technology landscape.
