Orlando, Florida -- March 22, 2006
ChannelRUSH is a web based hotel channel management tool for hotel revenue managers that allow them to maintain their hotel’s rate and availability information across numerous internet travel sales sites simultaneously.
For the hotel owner or hotel revenue manager types, the task of managing 5, 10, 15 or more sales websites to book their hotels' room nights can be a daunting task. There is no uniformity among all of the different websites as they are all unique companies with unique interfaces. Login criteria, different feature sets, and other small intricacies have to be remembered for each extranet they update. Then comes the time where you need to gather information - want to determine how many room nights were sold across all of your channels for the month of May - quickly? Not hardly.
With ChannelRUSH comes the optimization and features of combining all of your channels into one channel. You still sell your room nights through the third party room nights, but by entering the information once in ChannelRUSH, and then clicking an 'update' button. Updates are updated quickly and accurately, with reporting stored in our database to verify the updates you request, as well as to provide up to date accurate information for your reports.
ChannelRUSH stream lines this process, so one person can manage more channels then they otherwise would be able to updating sites by hand.
Here is a list of features that are currently available in the ChannelRUSH platform...
- Sell more room nights as ChannelRUSH gives you more control of all your channels, and a quicker response time. No need to close out most of your channels as you draw near to a sold out status - keep the allotments open until it is absolutely necessary to close out - and ChannelRUSH completes the requested action in minutes
- Automatic rate calculation means you can base your room types or rate plan on percentages or flat markups, allowing you to enter one rate for a room type and have the rest of the rates calculate automatically. Have one channel you need the rates 10% lower than the rest? This is set once in the ChannelRUSH settings and you are good to go
- GDS and CRS friendly - manage some of the toughest and more complicated GDS in use today along with your regular channels
- ChannelRUSH is flexible, and allows you to determine how you want room type and rate plans to appear on your update screen, even if the channel does not support them that way - even stack room types underneath other ones to prevent rogue room types from existing in ChannelRUSH. Those extra 5 GDS room types do not need to clutter up your screen by appearing for all of your channels.
- Supports multiple hotel properties, allowing all of your properties to be updated in one login if one chooses. Also tiered security is allowed so that specific user accounts can only have access to the specific hotels they are assigned/allowed to update and view information for.
- Password information can be hidden from the typical day to day user, as to add another layer of security for your channel log-in information - allowing a manager to only have to change one password when an employee leaves the company
- View real-time reporting on all of your channels, in one place, at the same time
- Think of it as combining all of your existing Internet sales channels into one, user friendly and easy to maintain channel - No more "learning" new channels as you expand your Internet sales exposure
- ChannelRUSH's Automatic Report Validation not only generates new reports each time you make a change, but it compares the data retrieved to your requested changes to make sure your information is entered and stored correctly
ChannelRUSH takes great pride in listening to our customers, and implementing their feature
on a daily basis free of charge. All of their programming is done in-house, so this allows changes
to be made quickly and efficiently.
