eviivo Wins TravelTech Breakthroughs’ “Hotel Channel Management Platform Of The Year” Award

eviivo, a leading hospitality software company known for its award-winning property management system, eviivo Suite™, and eviivo Collective, the world’s only collection of unique, notable and luxury independent properties, today announced eviivo Suite’s Channel Manager has received “Hotel Channel Management Platform of the Year” in the second annual TravelTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by TravelTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout travel & hospitality technology companies, products and services around the globe.

eviivo Suite’s Channel Manager helps independent hoteliers expand their reach and visibility online. The solution offers deep seamless integrations with leading online travel agencies (OTAs). This results in automated synchronizations of Rates, Availability, Photos, Descriptions, Amenities, Deposit/Cancellation Policies, Promotions, Cleaning, Messages, and more. Users have access to a unified booking calendar that clearly displays the source of all bookings and the ability to set rules to automatically close inventory and adjust rates on all channels, specific channels, or commission-based channels. 

eviivo’s Channel Manager software makes it easy to connect with Airbnb, Expedia.com, Booking.com, Google, Tripadvisor and a wide range of regional and specialist channels. The depth of these OTA integrations is unique in that few manual updates are required regardless of growth. An unparalleled number of updates, once made within eviivo Suite, are pushed out to channels automatically.

eviivo Channel Manager also simplifies processes for hoteliers through control of which channels they connect to; notifications of an automatic opt-in to each new channel added to the eviivo portfolio; and helpful information on each channel in the ‘opt-ins’ page. The integrated system provides centralized control and visibility, real-time updates to prevent overbookings, extensive automation and granular control of channel updates. With frequent API updates and maintenance, eviivo can also integrate messages from Vrbo, Expedia, Airbnb and Booking.com in one inbox. 

“Channel management should be completely intuitive for independent hoteliers and seamlessly scalable as their channel business grows. We designed our product in response to that, making sure what we offer is cost-effective and properties are put in front of thousands of potential customers,” said eviivo CEO Michele Fitzpatrick. “We’re pleased to receive this vote of confidence from TravelTech Breakthrough. Our goal is to continue to help independent hoteliers with fully automated, frictionless and advanced technologies. Channel Manager helps them to make informed decisions on channel mix so they can overcome the associated challenges with channel management and stay competitive.”

The mission of the annual TravelTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions and products in the travel & hospitality technology industry today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 12 different countries throughout the world.

“In today’s super-competitive landscape, hoteliers need to connect to OTAs to advertise their accommodation to a global audience. Automation is the gold standard for success in the hospitality industry. Most channel managers update rates and availability across channels, but eviivo’s integrations go much further,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of TravelTech Breakthrough Awards. “evivo Channel Manager empowers property owners to expand their reach, automate processes, and maximize bookings.
