Errors in Rates Calculations

When hoteliers offer special room prices, promotions and discounts, they have to calculate the difference for each room and rate types manually for certain online sales channels. That is hard to manage, so it causes possible human mistakes on the online reservation management processes.
On the other hand, channel manager softwares allow hoteliers to set up special rules for each online booking channel. They simply need to enter a single price and it will be calculated all the room prices for all channels automatically.
