3. Channel Management: Distributes room inventory and rates across various online distribution channels, including OTAs, GDS, and metasearch engines, to maximize visibility and bookings.

4. Revenue Management: Optimizes room rates and availability based on demand, competition, and market trends to maximize revenue and occupancy rates.

5. Housekeeping Management: Assigns and tracks housekeeping tasks, monitors room cleaning status, and schedules maintenance work to ensure rooms are clean and ready for guests.

6. Point of Sale (POS) Integration: Integrates with POS systems for managing onsite services such as restaurants, bars, spa, and retail outlets, enabling guests to charge expenses to their rooms.

7. Guest Relationship Management (CRM): Stores guest information, preferences, and communication history to personalize guest interactions, loyalty programs, and marketing campaigns.

8. Reporting and Analytics: Provides reports on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as occupancy rates, revenue per available room (RevPAR), average daily rate (ADR), and guest satisfaction scores for data-driven decision-making.

9. Mobile Accessibility: Offers mobile apps for guests to make reservations, check-in/out, access hotel services, and communicate with staff, enhancing the guest experience and convenience.
