With the benefits of having a PMS in a hotel outlined above, today's hoteliers
can provide the experience visitors seek while still managing their business
efficiently. A hotel PMS has numerous advantages for a hotelier's business.
Because the consumer's travel journey begins with selecting a destination while
also shopping for a hotel, hoteliers are challenged to provide a personalized guest
experience while also operating a profitable hotel business. Their pre-stay shopping
and booking interaction, on-property engagement with the hotel and its staff, in-
room experience, and post-stay sharing of feedback on social media are all part of
their guest experience.

B. Central Reservation System (CRS)
A Central Reservation System (CRS) is a type of reservation software that
allows hotels to handle guest reservations and the processes surrounding them in
real time by updating and maintaining information about inventory and pricing. It
is a platform that allows hotels to manage and distribute room inventory, pricing,
and reservations from a central location.
The CRS gets inventory from the PMS and distributes pricing and availability
to direct and third-party channels in real-time, including the hotel's own website
booking engine and call center (direct channels), as well as channel managers,
OTAs, GDS, and metasearch (third-party channels). The CRS receives reservations
from these channels, which are then synced into the PMS for room distribution.
CRS or distribution systems are used by hotel revenue management and
marketing/e-commerce managers to develop various promotions and offers through
rate plans for different channels, as well as to swiftly alter pricing to be updated
across all channels. Reservations are also managed by reservation agents in the
CRS.
