ChannelSwitch One Integration — Multiple Connections

Travel Technology Connectivity,
Simplified

Connect once. Reach multiple travel systems. ChannelSwitch is a travel technology connectivity gateway that enables PMS providers, Channel Managers, CRS platforms, OTAs, wholesalers, tour operators and other hospitality technology companies to connect and exchange data through a single integration.

Instead of building and maintaining separate integrations with every technology partner, connect to ChannelSwitch once and use a standardized connectivity layer to accelerate integrations and reduce development complexity.

What is ChannelSwitch?

The connectivity layer between travel technology platforms

The hospitality technology ecosystem is highly fragmented.

  • PMS platforms need to connect with Channel Managers.
  • Channel Managers need to connect with PMS platforms, OTAs and distribution systems.
  • CRS platforms need to communicate with multiple hospitality and distribution technologies.
  • Travel technology companies continuously need to develop and maintain new integrations.

ChannelSwitch simplifies this infrastructure

Through a single standardized gateway, technology companies can exchange reservation, availability, rate, inventory and other supported data with connected systems — without having to build every integration independently.

The ecosystem

One integration. Multiple connections.

ChannelSwitch sits in the middle of the travel technology ecosystem as a common connectivity layer. ChannelSwitch supports two-way data exchange where supported by the connected systems and APIs.

Who is it for

Built for the companies building travel technology

If your product needs to talk to other hospitality systems, ChannelSwitch is your connectivity layer.

01 / PMS

PMS Providers

Connect your PMS with Channel Managers, CRS platforms and distribution technologies without developing every connection separately.

02 / CM

Channel Managers

Expand your connectivity ecosystem and integrate with additional PMS, distribution and hospitality technology platforms.

03 / CRS

CRS & Distribution Platforms

Exchange reservation, inventory, rate and availability data with multiple hospitality systems through standardized connectivity.

04 / DISTRIBUTION

OTAs, Wholesalers & Tour Operators

Connect your distribution technology with compatible hotel systems and technology providers.

05 / TRAVEL-TECH

Travel Technology Companies

Use ChannelSwitch as the connectivity infrastructure between your platform and other hospitality technology systems.

How it works

Four steps from first call to full ecosystem

Integrate once, then grow your connected ecosystem without rebuilding the integration architecture each time.

Talk to Our Connectivity Team

Connect

Integrate your technology platform with ChannelSwitch through the supported API or connectivity interface.

Map

ChannelSwitch facilitates the required data mapping and communication between supported systems.

Exchange

Reservations, availability, rates, inventory and other supported information can flow between connected platforms.

Scale

Add additional supported connections without repeatedly developing the entire integration architecture from scratch.

Built for technology companies

ChannelSwitch is not another hotel distribution marketplace

It is connectivity infrastructure designed for companies building technology for the hospitality and travel industry.

Our role is to help systems communicate

Standardized data exchange between your platform and the systems you choose to connect with — two-way where supported.

Your commercial relationships remain yours

We simplify the technology connection — and where available, the commercial path to connectivity.

Onboarding advantage

Existing connectivity & commercial frameworks

For selected connected systems, ChannelSwitch may already have the required connectivity or commercial framework in place.

This can reduce the need for technology partners to establish separate agreements with every connected system and help accelerate onboarding and time-to-market.

Availability depends on the specific system, connection and applicable commercial arrangement.

Some connections may already be commercially and technically enabled through ChannelSwitch

Connectivity comes first. Where available, existing commercial frameworks can make connecting even simpler — one less step between your platform and the systems it needs to reach.

Why ChannelSwitch

Less integration work, more product work

Everything is built on one idea: connect once, and let a common layer carry the connectivity load.

01 / INTEGRATION

One Integration

Reduce the need for multiple independent integrations.

02 / SPEED

Faster Time to Market

Launch new technology connections faster and reduce repetitive development work.

03 / COST

Lower Integration Cost

Reduce the technical resources required to build and maintain multiple point-to-point connections.

04 / STANDARDS

Standardized Connectivity

Use a common connectivity layer across supported hospitality technologies.

05 / SCALE

Scalable Architecture

Expand your ecosystem as your business and connectivity requirements grow.

06 / SUPPORT

Technical Support

Work with a connectivity team experienced in hospitality distribution technology.

Architecture

Reduce integration complexity

Without a connectivity layer, every new partnership can require another integration. As the number of connected systems grows, the number of integrations, mappings, monitoring requirements and maintenance processes grows with it. ChannelSwitch provides a common gateway between systems, helping technology companies build a more scalable connectivity architecture.

Without ChannelSwitch ABCDEF

Every partner is another point-to-point integration to build, monitor and maintain.

With ChannelSwitch ABCDEFCS

One gateway in the middle: each system connects once and reaches multiple connections.

Typical connectivity

Connectivity between technology categories

ChannelSwitch can provide connectivity between technology categories including:

PMS Channel Manager
PMS CRS
PMS Distribution Platform
Channel Manager OTA
Channel Manager Wholesaler
CRS Distribution Channel
Travel Platform Hospitality Technology Provider
Specific connectivity and available data flows will depend on the supported systems and APIs.
Data connectivity

Hospitality distribution data, exchanged

Depending on the connected systems and supported APIs, ChannelSwitch can support the exchange of hospitality distribution data such as:

AvailabilityRatesInventoryReservationsReservation modificationsCancellationsRestrictionsPromotionsProperty, room & rate plan mappingContentOther supported distribution & connectivity data
Not every data type is supported by every system; specific data flows depend on the connected systems and their APIs.
Built for scale

Build your product. We help connect it.

Whether you are connecting your first external hospitality platform or managing a growing ecosystem of technology partners, ChannelSwitch provides the infrastructure to simplify connectivity.
