Streamlining Operations and Boosting Revenue at Boulevard Batumi Hotel & Bellevue Residence

OPERATIONS

The team had a full tech stack — but no direct bookings and inconsistent rates across channels. Switching to Exely revealed hidden tech issues, unlocked direct revenue, and brought booking balance back in less than a week.

Why it matters: Even with the right tools in place, fragmented setup can silently block sales. This case shows how a mid-sized property fixed availability gaps, centralized pricing, and launched a direct booking channel — all without changing its PMS.

The hotel used Exely’s Channel Manager to restore OTA visibility by fixing PMS sync issues. They also launched a direct booking website using Exely’s Website Builder and embedded Booking Engine — all in under 24 hours.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Bring visibility and consistency across OTAs, unlock direct bookings, and eliminate manual rate setup.

Fix OTA Visibility: Resolve the disconnect between the PMS and OTA platforms that was preventing room availability from showing online.
Launch Direct Website: Quickly set up a professional hotel website with built-in booking functionality to start capturing direct reservations.
Unify Rate Management: Centralize and automate rate plans across all channels to eliminate manual updates and pricing inconsistencies.

"Once we switched to Exely, we immediately noticed a significant increase in reservations from online travel agencies. We discovered that our previous system had blocked some availability. Realizing this after connecting with Exely was a welcome surprise. It was really easy to deploy. I set up the website for the property in just one day, starting in the morning. I just added descriptions, photos, and hit “Publish.” Suddenly, we had a professional site generating bookings."
