Managing OTA inventory is an essential process to optimize availability and revenue by controlling the number of bookings allocated to different online travel agencies (OTAs). Through this module, you can ensure balanced room distribution and avoid overbookings.

How to manage OTA inventory?

1. Accessing the Inventory Management Panel

1. Go to Dashboard > OTA Management > OTA Inventory.
2. Here you’ll find an overview of the number of rooms or units available for each connected platform.

2. Adjusting availability for different OTAs

1. You can modify the number of rooms allocated per OTA based on demand.
2. If you want to limit the number of bookings accepted from a particular channel, set a value for "Maximum Bookings".
3. This limitation allows you to keep more availability for direct bookings on your website or for other platforms that generate higher revenue.

3. Ensuring synchronization across all platforms

1. Any changes made in this section will be automatically synchronized only with the platforms listed there.
2. This helps prevent overbookings and maximize booking frequency.

4. Setting limits and prioritizing platforms

1. By default, all available rooms are sent to all activated OTAs.
2. If you want better control over distribution, you can set limits for accepted bookings per platform.
3. This feature is available for most major OTAs.
