Introduction

With multi-channel marketing being the future for online bookings and marketing, bookhinterland.com.au has fully integrated with the SiteMinder Channel Management System.

If you already are using SiteMinder, you will need no introduction to its benefits, so you can skip directly to How do I connect SiteMinder and bookhinterland.com.au?

What is SiteMinder?

The internet is the fastest growing source of bookings for accommodation providers today. But managing room availability on multiple online booking sites can be time consuming.

SiteMinder's Channel Manager is the perfect tool for managing your room availability and pricing, on a wide range of booking sites through a single, user friendly webpage.

Whether you sell a room over the phone or through bookhinterland.com.au, the central SiteMinder system will update all "channels" you are connected to automatically.

You can not only connect your SiteMinder reservation system to bookhinterland.com.au, but also to other leading booking sites ("channels") like WotIf, Booking.com etc. Browse the growing list of SiteMinder distribution channels here.
