Is a PMS the same as a channel manager?
No. A PMS manages hotel operations and guest records. A channel manager distributes availability and rates to booking channels. The two systems can be connected, but interface compatibility and the included functionality must be confirmed.
How much does protel AIR cost?
The website currently lists protel AIR from โฌ7.50 per room per month, with a minimum monthly fee of โฌ190. Ask for a written quote covering setup, training, modules and integrations; the listed starting price is not a complete implementation quote.
Are protel PMS integrations included in the PMS price, and what do they cover?
Yes. Most integrations with other systems are included in the price of protel PMS, with no extra integration fee. The scope includes connections to booking engines, channel managers, payment providers, accounting software, revenue management systems (RMS) and guest apps. Depending on the interface, these can exchange availability, rates, reservations, guest details and billing data. Confirm the specific suppliers, versions and data flows in your quote; check any third-party system subscriptions separately.
Can I keep my existing accounting or booking systems?
You can keep an existing system if a compatible interface is available. Send the supplier names, versions and required data flows so the team can check supported interfaces. Most integrations are included in the price of protel PMS; confirm your specific connection and scope in the quote.
Which PMS is best for a small independent hotel?
Start with the hotel's reception, billing, distribution and reporting needs. Evaluate a cloud PMS if browser access and avoiding a local PMS server are priorities. Compare the full cost and test the hotel's actual workflows before choosing.
What matters for a hotel in Slovenia, Croatia or Serbia?
