Channel manager for Booking.com, Expedia & Agoda
A channel manager keeps your availability, rates and reservations matched across your booking sites, which cuts the risk of double bookings. Ribat syncs Booking.com, Expedia and Agoda in real time, in both directions, through a certified channel-manager network, with no commission on your bookings.
What a channel manager does
If you list the same room on several booking sites, each site needs to know when the room is taken. Without a channel manager you update calendars by hand, and the gaps between updates are where double bookings happen.
Ribat is a property management system with the channel manager built in. A booking on one channel closes those dates on the others, and rate changes you make in Ribat flow out to the channels you choose.
