Notes from the distribution team
A small blog of engineering-flavoured posts about hotel distribution, connector latency, parity monitoring and multi-workspace BI.
Why connector latency matters more than any other metric
The single number that governs your overbooking rate is the delay between an inventory change in your PMS and its arrival in the OTA. Here is why.
The case for a boutique catalogue of hotel connectors
Bloated all-in-one platforms buy you a single vendor throat to choke but leave every module competing for compute. A boutique makes different trade-offs.
Parity monitoring without the seven-figure cost
Enterprise rate-shopping vendors charge like Bloomberg terminals. Here is how a lightweight parity guard tied to your BookNLink workspace closes the same gap for less than a hundred euros per month.
Multi-workspace BI is finally practical for small groups
Three to ten properties has historically been the awkward middle where BI tools are either overkill or absent. The BI Consolidation extension changes that.
