SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Feb. 26, 2025 – Cloudbeds has announced a pivotal strategic partnership with Sabre Corporation, designed to deliver a more profound integration between Cloudbeds Property Management System (PMS) and Sabre’s SynXis Central Reservation System (CRS). This collaboration promises to provide hotels and accommodation providers with a streamlined solution for managing distribution, reservations, and property operations.
Enhanced Integration for Seamless Operations
The cornerstone of this partnership is the introduction of a real-time, enhanced two-way connection between Sabre’s CRS and the Cloudbeds PMS. According to the companies, this integration aims to streamline operations, optimize distribution strategies, and improve data accuracy. The API integration will facilitate a faster and more reliable flow of data between the two platforms.
Key Benefits of the Strategic 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, significantly reducing discrepancies and eliminating the need for 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, leveraging 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 Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), direct bookings, or Global Distribution Systems (GDS)—is immediately logged in the Cloudbeds PMS. This automated reservations pipeline minimizes the risk of overbookings, missed updates, and guest data inconsistencies, thereby driving operational efficiency across all 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.
Executive Insights on the Partnership
“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.”
Implementation and Availability
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.
This strategic partnership marks a significant step forward in the hospitality technology sector, offering hotels a comprehensive solution to optimize their operations and enhance their guest experience.
