OUR SERVICE

Booking Engine, Channel Manager & Front Office System

Connect booking systems, sales channels, and front office operations so that rates, availability, and reservation data work together seamlessly.

AHM helps hotels select suitable systems, plan their setup, and coordinate integration to support day-to-day operations—from room types and rate plans to inventory, reservation handling, and front office data—reducing duplicate work and errors between sales channels and hotel operations.

Three Systems, One Workflow

Each system has a different role, but they need to work together.

01 / DIRECT BOOKING

Booking Engine

Accept direct bookings through the hotel website, displaying rooms, rates, promotions, and conditions while making booking convenient on desktop and mobile.

02 / DISTRIBUTION

Channel Manager

Distribute rates and availability to connected sales channels, reducing repeated updates and helping monitor data consistency across channels.

03 / HOTEL OPERATIONS

Front Office System / PMS

Support reservations, check-in, check-out, room status, and stay information so the hotel team can continue its work using reservation data.

What AHM Helps With

Support system setup, integration, and day-to-day use.

01 — PLAN

System Selection & Planning

Assess room count, sales channels, workflows, and team requirements to select systems suited to the hotel.

02 — MAP

Room & Rate Mapping

Check how room types, rate plans, and sales conditions map between systems to reduce incorrect room or rate matching.

03 — TEST

Integration & Testing

Coordinate with providers and test the flow of rates, availability, new bookings, amendments, and cancellations according to the capabilities of the connected systems.

04 — SUPPORT

Training & Operational Support

Help the hotel team understand operating procedures, key checks, and how to follow up on issues so the systems reduce daily workload.

Connected Hotel Workflow

Data should flow clearly from sales through to the guest stay.

01

Define the Master Data

The hotel sets rates and availability in the agreed master system.

02

Distribute to Sales Channels

The Channel Manager distributes data to connected channels.

03

Receive Reservations

Guests book through an OTA or the Booking Engine.

04

Hand Over to Hotel Operations

Reservation data is passed to the relevant systems and teams.

Before connecting systems, clearly define which system is the master source for each type of data and who is responsible for checking discrepancies.

The integration model depends on the providers and systems used by the hotel.
