Rates, Availability and Restrictions Pushed in Real Time

Real-time ARI push to your OTAs: rates, availability and restrictions are sent within a minute of any change, with every reply stored.

Any change that affects what you can sell is sent to your channels within a minute: a rate edit, a desk booking, a room block or a closed date.

How it works

Each push carries only what changed, only for the affected nights. The channel's reply is saved alongside it.

Inventory

For every room type and night, the OTAs are told how many rooms they may sell:

If that allowance leads to a booking in a full type, nothing breaks. It shows as an unassigned card and your desk decides.

Rate details

The whole occupancy grid for each plan (single, double, triple, extra adult and the child bands) goes in the layout each channel's extranet expects. Three adults pay the same online as at your front office.

Rules

Stop-sell, minimum stay, CTA and CTD go out per type and per night, in each channel's own field names.

Good to know

If your desk takes a booking while pushes are queued, the count is still right. The queue reads your chart at the moment of sending, not when the push was queued, so channels always get the true number.
