Setup and Onboarding – The Process
The journey to implementing a Private Label Channel Manager begins with signing an agreement, outlining the terms and scope of the integration. Next, you’ll gain access to a sandbox environment, allowing for thorough testing and customisation without affecting live systems. This crucial phase enables your team to familiarize themselves with the new tools and workflows. Once all features are vetted and any necessary adjustments are made, you’ll proceed to the certification process. This ensures that your integrated system meets all required standards and operates flawlessly. Only after successful certification will the system go live, smoothly enhancing your PMS with powerful channel management capabilities.
