apaleo, the world's most open and connected property management system (PMS), has partnered with SiteMinder, the global hotel industry's leading guest acquisition platform, to remove the friction involved with manual online distribution for hotels. The partnership sees apaleo's PMS integrated with SiteMinder's platform, so mutual hotel clients of the two companies can automate how they distribute inventory across their chosen marketing channels online and capture reservations.

By automating the distribution process, hoteliers have the opportunity to increase their revenue while reducing their cost of acquisition and winning time back in their day to focus on guests.

Uli Pillau, Co-founder of apaleo said, "SiteMinder has been a long-time disruptor in the hotel industry, and we are thrilled to offer our clients this connection, which is certain to boost hotel revenues and alleviate much of the manual work that hoteliers deal with on a day-to-day basis."

"apaleo is showing how a more open, connected world ultimately benefits the hoteliers we serve, and we are pleased to partner with a company that deeply shares and lives this vision with us," said Clemens Fisch, Regional Director - DACH at SiteMinder.

SiteMinder is the guest acquisition platform of choice for more than 35,000 hotels worldwide, providing smart and simple solutions that put hotels everywhere their guests are, at every stage of their journey. With this integration, hoteliers using apaleo can now distribute their rooms to SiteMinder's open ecosystem of more than 400 of the world's top hotel booking channels - including online travel agencies, traditional tour operators, wholesalers, and their direct hotel website to lift and automate direct bookings.

apaleo's open, ultra-connected, and intuitive PMS can be set up and ready to use within minutes - no long RFPs, wait times, or set-up fees. Hoteliers can even set up their properties on their own, if they so choose. Once set up, hotels can connect hundreds of applications, including SiteMinder, within the apaleo Store.
