Hotel Contracting Software | iVectorOne by intuitive

What is hotel contracting software?

Manage negotiated hotel supply

Hotel contracting software, also called direct contracting software, helps Tour Operators, OTAs and B2B Wholesalers load and manage negotiated hotel contracts, rates, offers and inventory. It then makes that supply available to connected booking and distribution channels.

Reduce disconnected work

Within iVectorOne, direct contracts can be managed alongside Channel Manager rates and other connected accommodation supply. This centralises negotiated product and reduces the repeated work and risk of errors created when contract data, inventory and distribution sit in separate systems.

Contracting outcomes

Simpler contracting, greater control

Here’s what hotel contracting software delivers in practice.

Reduce contract-loading effort Enter and maintain contract, rate and inventory data centrally, reducing repeated manual work and supporting growth across your negotiated hotel portfolio.

Improve commercial control Manage rates, offers and inventory changes centrally, keeping contracted terms aligned with the hotel supply available to sell.

Support flexible hotel sourcing Manage direct contracts alongside Channel Manager rates and third-party supply, giving your business greater flexibility over how it sources hotels.

Contract loading

Load and manage your hotel contracts in one place

Enter and maintain the rates, room types, board bases, dates and commercial terms that make each hotel contract sellable.

When details change, update the contract centrally so your product data remains consistent across connected booking and distribution channels.

Contract management

Keep rates and inventory aligned

Manage rates, offers and terms

Hotel rates can vary by date, room type and board basis, with offers and commercial conditions applied. iVectorOne brings this detail together with the wider contract, helping teams keep negotiated rates and terms aligned with what is available to sell.

Control inventory and availability

Manage hotel inventory and availability alongside the relevant contract, rather than across separate systems. This reduces repeated updates and gives commercial teams greater control over the direct hotel product available to sell.

Hotel supplier extranet

Keep contracted hotel information current

Keeping contract information and inventory up to date can create repeated back-and-forth between hotels and contracting teams.

iVectorOne’s hotel supplier extranet allows hotel partners to contribute directly to keeping their contracted information current, reducing manual coordination and helping teams maintain more accurate hotel product.

Connected hotel supply

Bring direct and dynamic hotel supply together

Manage negotiated contracts alongside connected accommodation supply, then make rates and availability available through your booking and distribution channels.

Direct hotel supply Manage negotiated hotel contracts, rates and inventory centrally while retaining control of your own direct accommodation supply.

Dynamic hotel supply Combine direct contracts with Channel Manager rates and third-party accommodation sources to broaden the hotel product available to sell.

Connected sales channels Connect rates and availability with booking and distribution environments, making contracted hotel supply available at the point of sale.
