Quoality is committed to providing hotels with a comprehensive Guest Experience Platform that simplifies their operations and maximizes revenue potential. With the rise of online travel agencies (OTAs) and metasearch engines, managing online distribution and reservations has become a crucial part of a hotelier's daily operations. Quoality has partnered with Staah, a leading cloud-based distribution platform, to provide hotels with a comprehensive solution for the online distribution and reservation management. This blog will explore how the Quoality-Staah integration streamlines hotel operations and revenue management.

What is a Channel Manager?

A channel manager is a software tool that allows hotels to manage their room inventory and rates across multiple online channels. Channel managers like Staah's channel manager enable hotels to update room availability and rates in real-time, ensuring that inventory remains accurate and up-to-date across all channels. This prevents overbooking and underselling of rooms, which can result in a negative guest experience and lost revenue.

Why Quoality-Staah Integration?

The integration between Quoality’s Guest Experience Platform and Staah's channel manager offers hotels a bypass PMS integration to provide a better guest experience through several key features:

• Centralized Management: By bypassing the traditional Property Management System (PMS) integration, Quoality and Staah's integration offers a more efficient and streamlined way for hotels to manage their room inventory and rates. This centralized approach reduces the complexity of managing multiple systems and allows hoteliers to focus on creating exceptional guest experiences.
• Real-Time Updates: The Quoality-Staah integration ensures real-time updates across all channels, allowing hotels to maintain accurate room availability and pricing information. This prevents overbooking and underselling of rooms, leading to a better overall guest experience.
• Personalized Guest Offers: By leveraging the integration, hotels can create personalized offers and promotions for their guests. These targeted offers can be designed to cater to the preferences and needs of individual guests, enhancing their stay and encouraging repeat bookings.
• Automated Communication: The integration enables hotels to automate communication with guests throughout their booking journey. From reservation confirmation emails to pre-stay reminders and post-stay follow-ups, this automated communication ensures that guests receive timely and relevant information, improving their overall experience.
• Enhanced Guest Profiles: With Quoality-Staah integration, hotels have access to enriched guest profiles that include preferences, booking history, and feedback. This valuable data allows hotels to tailor their guest interactions and create more personalized experiences, fostering long-term guest loyalty.

This allows hotels to effortlessly connect with tools like revenue management systems, customer relationship management systems, and more, ensuring a cohesive guest experience across all touchpoints.

How does the Integration Work?

The Quoality-Staah integration is designed to be simple and efficient, making it easy for hotels to start benefiting from the combined power of both platforms. Here's an overview of how the integration works:

1. Add Property ID and Key to Quoality Dashboard: To initiate the integration, hotels need to add their property ID and key to the Quoality dashboard. 
2. Go Live: Once the property ID and key have been added to the Quoality dashboard, hotels can go live with the integration. This means that Quoality will start syncing with Staah's channel manager in real-time.
3. Real-Time Syncing: With the integration active, Quoality will begin syncing new bookings, updates, and cancellations from Staah's channel manager in real-time. This ensures that hotels always have the most up-to-date information on their reservations and guest details.
4. Engaging with Guests: As the integration syncs booking information, Quoality's Guest Experience Platform will automatically engage with guests according to the hotel's configured communication preferences. This can include reservation confirmations, pre-stay reminders, in-stay feedback requests, and post-stay follow-ups, all tailored to each guest's unique preferences and needs.

By offering a seamless and straightforward integration process, the Quoality-Staah integration enables hotels to quickly and easily take advantage of the combined benefits of both platforms, improving their overall guest experience and maximizing revenue potential.
