DIRS21 channelswitch
DIRS21 channelswitch
  • Central control and automatic upload of data from DIRS21 to Booking.com, Hotel.de, HRS, Venere, Expedia and netHotels (additional interfaces are planned)
  • Modular design: each hotel can decide which of the 6 portals it wants to control using DIRS21
  • Significant time savings when compared with individual updates using the extranet of each portal
  • Flexible rules for the control of the travel portals. The rules can be set to create different rates and availability in each portal
  • DIRS21 channelswitch has a 2-way interface with Booking.com, Hotel.de, HRS, Venere, Expedia ans NetHotels  – so not only are rates and availability uploaded to those systems, but also the bookings generated by the portals are downloaded automatically into DIRS21. This updates the room availability in DIRS21, which instantly applies the change in all other portals and distribution channels.
  • For even greater time-saving and efficiency, the update of DIRS21 and its channelswitch can be handled by a 2-way interface with the hotel's Property Management System (PMS). A growing number of PMS suppliers can providethe interface with DIRS21. Reservations received via channelswitch and the other DIRS21 distribution channels can also be downloaded automatically into the PMS.
  • A prerequisite for using DIRS21 channelswitch is an existing contract between the hotel and each of its chosen portals. The payment by the hotel to the portals of fees and commissions will continue to be handled directly, without the involvement of TourOnline.
