Introduced today at Mews Unfold in\nAmsterdam, the solution will see SiteMinder's distribution capability natively\nembedded within the Mews Operating System, marking the first time that hotels\nof any size can access the industry's largest distribution network without\nleaving the platform their property runs on.\n\n(https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2988838/Mews_and_SiteMinder.html)\n\nManaging operations and distribution from one platform will remove friction\nfrom hotels' day-to-day. Availability, rates, inventory and other content will\nbe handled in one place, closing a gap that hotels have had to bridge manually\nbetween two systems. Hotels will move faster, with rate, inventory and content\nchanges flowing straight through to every connected channel.\n\nThe integrated solution represents Mews and SiteMinder's shared vision of one\nconnected workflow, where rates flow instantly through the world's largest\ndistribution network and the results return to the same operating system the\nrate was set in. Nothing is lost in translation, there is no lag, and there\nare no mismatched numbers. The feedback loop shortens, and hoteliers move at a\nspeed and scale that wasn't possible before. Underpinning it all: AI that gets\nsmarter the more it is used.\n\nThis kind of capability only comes from a deep partnership that goes beyond\nsurface-level integrations. By building at the API level, Mews and SiteMinder\nare creating an experience that wouldn't otherwise be possible. For Mews,\nSiteMinder's distribution engine completes an operating system that already\nruns revenue, operations and the guest journey. For SiteMinder, it marks an\nevolution of its platform, which over the last twenty years has established\nitself as the premier commerce solution for hotels and is used by more than\n53,000 globally today, for distribution, revenue optimization and\nintelligence.\n\n\"When something is already the best in the world, we don't try to rebuild it.\nSiteMinder is the best at distribution. Our job is to bring what hotels need\ninto one place, with AI working across every layer. For hotels, the result is\nsimple: one operating system, one contract, one place to manage everything\nfrom how guests find you to how your property runs. It's pricing, distribution\nand performance all in one place,\" says Richard Valtr, Founder of Mews.\n\nThe simpler experience for hotels is likely to increase their speed-to-market\nand, critically, encourage greater adoption of technology within the hotel\nindustry. Recent research by SiteMinder reveals that 65% of hoteliers believe\nfaster, fully integrated systems could unlock at least 6% more annual revenue\n– representing billions in opportunity across the $1.2 trillion global\naccommodation sector.\n\n\"SiteMinder has always stood for accessibility and choice, and so this\npartnership with Mews is a natural evolution of our platform. We have long\nadmired Mews for their innovation and strong product vision. By integrating\nour distribution engine with a progressive platform like theirs, we are\nopening up our platform for hoteliers to access SiteMinder in the way that\nbest fits how they choose to work,\" says Sankar Narayan, CEO and Managing\nDirector at SiteMinder.\n\nNearly 3,000 hotels already run both Mews and SiteMinder side by side,\nmanaging operations in one and distribution in the other.
