"SiteMinder reduces so much complexity for us and helps us optimize our business for growth. Without the channel manager, for instance, it would take around two hours per channel to input all our required seasonal rates and restrictions. So for six channels including Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia and more, it would take us 12 hours to ship new rates and restrictions to live. With SiteMinder, it takes two."
