As the demand for smooth and efficient technology integration rises across the industry, the API offers a robust framework designed to meet these needs. It aims to provide a comprehensive solution for seamless integration.
The company noted that technology providers, including those in property management systems (PMS) and channel management, can now build direct integrations while retaining control over the development process and timeline.
The Integration API provides a complete development framework that includes thorough documentation, sandbox environments for testing, and dedicated technical support.
Partners have the option to choose between one-way data access or full two-way synchronisation, allowing for real-time sharing of rates, inventory, and performance data.
The platform accommodates various integration types such as Business Intelligence for improved reporting, Benchmark Insight for competitive analysis, Pricing Manager for optimising revenue, and Channel Manager for efficient distribution.
Lighthouse said independent hotel technology providers can also benefit as the Integration API presents an opportunity to strengthen their market presence.
By leveraging Lighthouse’s vast dataset and commercial intelligence features, partners can enhance their offerings while preserving their selling points.
The programme encompasses a structured certification process, access to extensive documentation, testing environments, and the potential for revenue sharing through successful integrations.
