Hi Softinn Booking Engine user. Softinn BE is now integrated with STAAH Channel Manager (CM).
With this integration, your Softinn BE now works just like another “OTA” of which you can now connect Softinn BE to your Staah CM.
Once the connection is established between Softinn BE and your Staah CM, you could just manage your BE’s room inventory, rates and restriction all from your Staah CM, without needing to manage them separately from Softinn BE anymore. Yes, save your time & effort!
