There are numerous channel managers on the market, and no single provider is ideal for all properties, so it is critical that you conduct your research before making a decision and ensure that you have invested in the right solution that aligns with your objective. In this blog, I will highlight the top 5 Channel Manager providers renowned by the industry and available globally as well as the criteria that you need to consider when choosing a hotel channel manager. ## **What is a Hotel Channel Manager?** A [Hotel Channel Manager](https://page.mysoftinn.com/en/hotel-channel-manager?hsLang=en-my) is software that allows you to effectively manage your property’s inventories and rates across multiple booking channels. This is more relevant to hotels that are registered with multiple booking channels and hotels that have multi-properties with hundreds of rooms. The channel manager is able to provide a real-time update on room availability, rates, and restrictions with the connected OTAs. Best of all if the hotel channel manager is integrated with your hotel property management systems (PMSs).  Read also: [PMS and Channel Manager Integration](https://page.mysoftinn.com/en/pms-and-channel-manager-integration?hsLang=en-my) ## **Main things to consider when choosing a Channel Manager** Choosing a channel manager is not a one-size-fits-all situation. You might reach a point on where and how to select the right channel manager. Don't worry if you're having trouble deciding which one is best for you. Below are the 5 key factors I would recommend you to consider before making a decision. 1. **Functionality**  A small independent hotel might only need a simple but credible tool, whereas a chain hotel will need more sophisticated features that include compatibility with Google Analytics, revenue management, and other features. Therefore, when choosing a hotel channel manager, make sure the specifications match your business requirements and be sure of how all these features can be applied to your business needs. 2. **System Integrations** Not all Channel Managers are able to connect to your existing Booking Engine or Property Management System. You should ensure that the channel manager you selected is able to integrate with your existing hotel systems such as PMS, RMS, Booking Engine, CRS, and other tools that need to be connected with the channel manager. 3. **Connectivity** Besides, a good channel manager software will promote and expose your property to previously undiscovered travel markets. Hence, your channel manager should have API integration across many channel partners to make sure that your property is available to book wherever guests shop. 4. **User-friendly & Responsive Support** The channel manager must be easy to use for newbies while also being comprehensive for advanced users, such as hotel owners and managers that require more information. In fact, the software must provide a clear overview of the performance of all connected channels over a specific time period and so on. Apart from this, it is crucial, too, to consider what kind of training is provided to your hotel staff who are using the software for the first time. After the onboarding, I believe the subsequent customer support is also an important consideration in choosing a channel manager provider. 5. **Your Budget** Lastly, be realistic with your hotel’s budget and the features you truly need and can afford to pay for. Some channel managers are more credible than others, but they may be much more expensive. A reliable channel manager provider will offer a [free trial](https://page.mysoftinn.com/hotel-channel-manager?hsLang=en-my) for their products, which could help you evaluate the software before you start paying to their channel manager.
