Travel accommodation distribution and fintech platform Katanox has entered a partnership that would enable cloud-based hospitality technology provider Guestline’s users to seamlessly onboard onto the Katanox platform via a two-way integration approach.
This partnership enables Guestline’s platform users to directly distribute their properties to Katanox's demand partners and set up direct relationships with travel buyers.
Katanox VP of hotel partnerships Richard Moseley said: “Guestline is a major player in the UK market, so it was essential for us to integrate with their PMS to ensure we’re providing our customers and partners with the best possible opportunities.
“This integration enables us to provide travel management companies (TMCs) with quality supply while granting our hospitality partners access to direct demand and the ability to build long-lasting relationships with demand partners.”
Guestline sales and marketing director James Cannon said: “We pride ourselves in arming our customers with the latest and most innovative opportunities to improve and grow their business.”
Following the onboarding to Katanox platform, accommodation providers have the flexibility to select specific demand partners to contract directly.
Once the commission percentage is decided between parties and the partnership gets finalised, bookings are then directly be pushed to Guestline, with Katanox being responsible for the reconciliation process.
The Katanox integration is accessible to all users of the Guestline platform.
Guestline currently offers its technology platforms such as channel manager, internet booking engine, guestPay payments, PMS, CRS, and more, to thousands of hoteliers.
