Comprehensive rate management The rate management module is specially designed to ease the life of the revenue/yield manager. First of all, you can create many different rate codes, defined either by room type or room number, and even fine tune them with specific rules, i.e. minimum stay, maximum stay. Next, you can categorize rate codes into yield classes. This entirely user definable module allows all rates to be published through various online distribution channels, CRS and corporate extranet applications.
Distribution Channel Management LodgeGate™ is equipped with a module to manage distribution channels. In this module, rate and room availability is automatically managed for the internet booking agencies, like Amsterdam Hotels Guide by Hotels Online, Bookings.com, Expedia.com, EasytoBook.com, FreeBookings.nl, Hoteliers.com, Hotels.com, Hotels.nl, LivingAmsterdam.com and Venere. And of course your own website.
