Run it next to what you have.Switch when the numbers agree.
Nobody should bet a season on a new system. So you do not have to.
How the move goes
Connect and import
Hotels, contracts, rates, offers, stop sales, allotments and bookings come across, converted into DMC Connect’s model rather than copied as they are.
Prove the prices
Test stays are priced across your portfolio and compared with the source contracts, and each difference is looked into before anyone relies on a price.
Run side by side
Your team keeps working as today. Where there is a live connection, a check every night compares every booking for the next 30 days and lists each difference in dates, guests, status or money.
Bring partners on
Each partner gets a test account limited to chosen hotels and the integration guide, and connects before anything goes live.
Switch
When the figures have matched for long enough, your team works in DMC Connect, partners move to live keys, and the old system can be retired.
Which system are you on?
The live connection and the nightly comparison are built one system at a time, using your own access. Today they exist for one system.
On another one? Tell us which, and we will tell you plainly what the move would take.
What an import has to get right
Old data hides surprises: rooms marked as taking no children when children were sold into them, the same hotel entered twice, two bookings that claim the same reference. An import is checked for exactly this kind of thing.
What comes across
| Data | How it arrives | How it is checked |
|---|---|---|
| Hotels | With codes, areas and categories | Checked for the same hotel entered twice |
| Contracts and rates | Periods, rates per room and board, child and extra-adult rules | Test stays priced against the source contract, to the cent |
| Special offers | With their windows and combination rules | Included in the test stays |
| Allotments and release | Periods per room type, with release days | Shown on the Availability Map, per room and night |
| Cancellation terms | The wording as written, with charge tiers where it is clear | Lines that cannot be read are kept as text, for a person to review |
| Bookings | With their services, guests and amounts | Compared until there is no difference |
