Overview


In today's competitive hospitality market, optimizing room availability and preventing overselling are critical for maximizing revenue and maintaining guest satisfaction. Property Connector's Sell Limit feature empowers Revenue Managers to take control of their inventory. By setting a Total Sell Limit Level, you can ensure that overall occupancy remains within desired parameters. Moreover, the ability to define Channel Sell Limit Level allows for strategic distribution, preventing over-reliance on any single channel and optimizing revenue by allocating inventory where it yields the best results. This dual approach ensures that every room is sold at the right price, through the right channel, and at the right time.



Benefits of Sell Limit

  • Revenue Optimization: Sell Limit allows you to strategically distribute inventory across channels, prioritizing high-yield bookings and maximizing revenue potential. By setting specific limits for each channel or rate plan, you can ensure that your most profitable offers are always available.
  • Overselling Prevention & Risk Mitigation: Sell Limit acts as a powerful safety net, automatically pausing sales when a predetermined threshold is reached. This protects your hotel from overbooking, ensuring seamless operations and positive guest experiences. No more angry customers due to overbooking, and no more cost associated with relocating customers.
  • Operational Efficiency & Reduced Administrative Burden: Free up your team's valuable time, Sell Limit automates inventory management, reducing the need for constant monitoring and manual adjustments. This allows your staff to focus on delivering exceptional guest service and driving sales.

  • Strategic Channel Management: Gain granular control over your distribution channels. Sell Limit enables you to set specific limits for each channel, allowing you to tailor your sales strategy and optimize performance across all platforms.

  • Data-Driven Decision Making: By tracking Sell Limit performance, you gain valuable insights into booking trends and channel effectiveness. This data empowers you to make informed decisions and refine your sales strategy for optimal results.
