Cloudbeds has formed a strategic partnership with Sabre Corporation to deliver a deeper integration between Cloudbeds PMS and Sabre’s SynXis Central Reservation System (CRS), offering hotels and accommodation providers a seamless solution for managing distribution, reservations and property operations.
The partnership introduces a real-time, enhanced two-way connection between Sabre’s CRS and the Cloudbeds PMS, enabling hotels to streamline their operations, optimize distribution strategies and improve data accuracy, according to the companies. The API integration will allow for a faster, more reliable flow of data between the two platforms.
Key benefits of the partnership:
- Bi-directional data exchange: Utilizing advanced API communication, the integration enables real-time two-way synchronization of inventory, rates and reservations. This ensures that any updates made in either system are immediately reflected across all distribution channels, reducing discrepancies and eliminating manual intervention.
- Automated inventory and rate management: The integration empowers hotels with dynamic rate and availability updates, automatically distributing changes made in the Cloudbeds PMS to all channels through the Sabre CRS. Hotels can now manage their pricing strategies more effectively, using real-time data to capitalize on demand fluctuations while ensuring full inventory exposure across global distribution channels.
- Unified reservations handling: The enhanced connection facilitates seamless booking updates between Cloudbeds and Sabre, ensuring that every reservation—whether from OTAs, direct bookings or GDS—is immediately logged in the Cloudbeds PMS. This automated reservations pipeline minimizes the risk of overbookings, missed updates and guest data inconsistencies, driving operational efficiency across departments.
- Optimized global distribution: Cloudbeds properties gain immediate access to Sabre’s global distribution network, which includes major OTAs, direct booking engines and travel management companies via Sabre’s Global Distribution System. With the enhanced CRS-PMS connection, hotels can manage distribution across multiple channels from a single, consolidated platform, significantly simplifying channel management and maximizing exposure.
“This partnership between Sabre and Cloudbeds is a game-changer for the hospitality industry,” said Frank Trampert, managing director, Sabre Hospitality Solutions. “By deepening the integration between our CRS and Cloudbeds PMS, we are enabling hotels to unlock new efficiencies and revenue opportunities, while also improving the overall guest experience.”
Richard Castle, cofounder/COO, Cloudbeds, added, “The real-time data synchronization and enhanced global distribution capabilities provide our customers with powerful tools to increase their profitability and streamline their operations. We are excited to collaborate with Sabre on delivering a fully integrated solution that empowers hoteliers to stay competitive and agile in a rapidly changing market.”
The enhanced Cloudbeds-Sabre integration is set to go live in Q1 2025, and will be available to all joint customers. Hotels currently using Cloudbeds and Sabre will benefit from seamless onboarding, with full technical support to guide customers through the implementation process.
