Use Case:
I would like to suggest the development of a feature that enables Channel Manager calendar synchronization across all sales channels via API or webhooks.
This feature would allow for seamless, real-time synchronization of availability and bookings across various sales platforms, ensuring that updates are reflected instantly on all connected channels. The key goal is to streamline the process, reduce the risk of overbooking, and increase efficiency by automating calendar management.
Details to support the idea:
• API/Webhook Integration: Leveraging APIs or webhooks to facilitate communication between the Channel Manager and external sales channels (like OTAs, booking platforms, or third-party systems) would be ideal.
• Real-Time Updates: Syncing calendars in real-time would ensure that any bookings made on one platform immediately update across all others, keeping availability consistent everywhere.
• Efficiency & Accuracy: This would eliminate the need for manual calendar updates and prevent overbooking by ensuring every platform reflects the same availability status.
• Open-Source Technology: One potential way to build this feature could be utilizing open-source technology like the Octo Travel platform. Octo Travel offers a robust solution for calendar synchronization and could potentially serve as the foundation for this integration, providing flexibility, scalability, and ease of implementation across multiple sales channels.
• Use Case Example: For example, when a booking is made on one platform, the calendar would immediately update across all other connected platforms, ensuring availability is reflected uniformly.
Thank you for considering this idea!
