A hotel booking engine must handle real-time inventory across multiple channels while preventing overbooking. The architecture must support rate parity, dynamic pricing, and seamless integration with Property Management Systems.
Core Components
- Availability Engine: Real-time room inventory with channel manager sync.
- Rate Manager: Dynamic pricing based on demand, seasonality, and competitor rates.
- Booking Flow: Optimized checkout with guest details, payment, and confirmation.
- Channel Distribution: Push rates and availability to Booking.com, Expedia, and direct channels.
