Channel-X

What is Channel-X?​

Channel-X extracts product data loaded by Channel Managers into our Inventory tool and pushes it directly into the system of a Travelgate Partner, typically an OTA (Buyer).

With Channel-X, you have full control over when and what product data to refresh. This powerful tool ensures your prices, availability, and inventory stay up to date—acting as the perfect bridge between your system and the Channel Managers you're connected with!

Real-time Inventory Updates

Channel-X delivers real-time Inventory updates, keeping your system synchronized. However, if you prefer, you can also purchase from Channel Managers using our Hotel-X Pull Buyers API, giving you the flexibility to choose the best option for your needs.

Advantages of Using Channel-X​

  1. Enhanced Pricing Displays – Store product data on your system to build and display price calendars.
  2. Full Product Synchronization – Refresh product data whenever you need it.
  3. Improved Performance – Reduce network latency during availability searches by avoiding external system requests.

Seamlessly consolidate contracted products from multiple Channel Managers into your system through a standardized API!🚀
