SiteMinder serves the whole industry. We partner with more than 250 of the world’s top booking channels and more than 120 of the world’s top PMSs, CRSs and RMSs.
The Internet economy for a hotel is increasingly complex but it also offers greater diversity and an ever-increasing opportunity to reach guests – from all corners of the globe.
From OTAs and GDSs, to wholesalers, meta search sites and a hotel’s own website, hotels can no longer afford to manually execute a diversified distribution strategy if they want it to be effective. Best-of-breed technology and integrations are crucial, and our PMS, CRS and RMS partners rely on us to deliver this capability to their hotel customers.
This is what SiteMinder offers through its cloud platform for hotels – the power of a fully-integrated ecosystem of unsurpassed reliability, speed and security that provides lower costs and greater control.
