API Integration

A standardized connection between two software systems that allows them to exchange data automatically. In hotel technology, API integrations connect the PMS to the RMS, channel manager, rate shopping tools, and analytics platforms like RevPerfect.

Why it matters: API integrations eliminate manual data entry and ensure all systems work from the same, current data. Real-time API connections between the PMS and revenue management tools enable same-day pricing updates and accurate up-to-the-minute availability.
