Novel Hotel City Centre has increased its occupancy to 90% by leveraging RateTiger. The four-star property uses RateTiger Connect for 2-way rate, inventory, and reservation data transfer between sales channels and hotel PMS. The hotel also uses RateTiger’s GDS distribution, Booking Engine, Metasearch Management and Rate Shopper, all available as a one-stop solution through the RateTiger platform for efficiently managing online distribution and revenue.
Why it matters: Novel Hotel City Center managed its distribution channels by manually updating the extranets. But with the RateShopper, they have been able to sell at better rates and maintain rate parity.

  • Due to the lack of an automated hotel management system, they manually managed three channels, which was daunting. The Novel Hotel City Center team found the perfect solution to their problems with RateTiger.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Novel Hotel was looking for an one-in-all hotel management software/ service provider. They also wanted a smart channel management platform to automate the flow of reservations.

  • Expand Online Presence: Novel City Center was on only 3 OTAs. The team knew how essential expanding their online listing was to maintain their position in the market and attract new bookings.

  • Rate Parity: Novel Hotel City Center was managing its distribution channels by manually updating the extranets. They needed help maintaining rate parity across booking channels and managing room availability effectively.

  • Revenue Maximization: The hotel needed GDS distribution, Booking Engine and Metasearch Management for efficiently managing online distribution and revenue.

"With RateTiger, we have managed to take our occupancy to 90%. Their 2-way integration between our PMS and multiple global and regional OTAs has ensured that we sell on the proper channels that bring business to our city."
