MSYS:OTAUSE CASES● LIVE

Built for every property that pays OTA commissions.

From a single independent hotel to a resort processing hundreds of OTA bookings a week — the same audit, the same deadlines, the same reclaim workflow.

01 — The operators

Who runs on OTA Systems.

01

Independent hotels

Single-property indies rely on Expedia and Booking.com for a large share of bookings but rarely have anyone whose job is to audit the commission side of those channels.

Best for properties where reconciliation currently means one person, one spreadsheet, and whatever time is left after check-out rush — and where a missed 4th-of-month deadline simply becomes an absorbed cost.

  • Every booking audited against 200+ rules without adding headcount
  • Dispute packages ready before the deadline, not after it
  • One console for reservations instead of three extranet tabs
Typical workflow
  1. 01Connect Expedia Partner Central and the Booking.com Extranet; the free audit scans your last 90 days.
  2. 02Work the Reclaim queue each cycle — review, paste, submit — before the 4th-of-month cutoff.
  3. 03Run daily operations from the unified reservations table instead of per-channel extranets.
02

Small chains and boutique groups

Groups of up to five properties face the same commission errors multiplied — different rate plans, different cancellation policies, and no consolidated view of what each channel really costs.

Best for 5–25 property operators on the Growth tier who need a multi-property dashboard, shared team seats, and a repeatable reclaim routine that works the same way at every property.

  • One reclaim workflow standardized across the portfolio
  • Per-property and per-channel ADR, occupancy, and claim visibility
  • Team seats so front office and finance work the same queue
Typical workflow
  1. 01Connect each property's extranet pairing under one account.
  2. 02Review the multi-property dashboard to see where open claims and channel costs concentrate.
  3. 03Assign the dispute-submission routine per property and track every claim to RECLAIMED or DENIED.
03

High-OTA-volume resorts

Resorts pushing heavy OTA volume generate hundreds of commission line items a month — exactly the environment where no-show, early-departure, and virtual-card errors go unnoticed.

Best for properties where the sheer count of bookings makes manual line-by-line reconciliation unrealistic, and where each missed dispute window compounds across a busy season.

  • Every line item checked, regardless of monthly volume
  • Claim queue sorted by amount and deadline so the biggest items get filed first
  • Per-channel cost visibility to inform channel-mix decisions
Typical workflow
  1. 01Connect both extranets and let the engine work through the full booking history.
  2. 02Prioritize the queued claims by computed amount ahead of each deadline.
  3. 03Use per-channel ADR and occupancy reporting when negotiating or rebalancing channel mix.
04

Extended-stay properties

Long-duration bookings bring mid-stay changes, partial cancellations, and early departures — cases where commission is often calculated on the original booking value rather than the stay that actually happened.

Best for operators whose reservations routinely change after confirmation, making the gap between billed commission and realized revenue a recurring, hard-to-spot cost.

  • Early departures flagged when commission was charged on nights not consumed
  • Waived cancellations caught when the commission was billed anyway
  • Folio-level evidence attached to every prepared claim
Typical workflow
  1. 01Connect the extranets so every modification and cancellation is visible alongside the original booking.
  2. 02Review flagged early-departure and cancellation claims with their computed amounts.
  3. 03Submit through the deep-linked extranet screens before each dispute window closes.
02 — The common thread

Every use case starts with the same charge.

Whatever the property type, the buyer intent is identical: an OTA billed a commission, and nobody can say with evidence whether it was owed. OTA Systems turns that doubt into a workflow — audit every booking, compute the claim, prepare the dispute, and file it before the window closes.

01

Problem

Commission charges that don't match what actually happened at the property — no-shows, waived cancellations, early departures, virtual-card gaps, rate discrepancies.

02

Workflow

Every booking is audited against 200+ rules; each claim carries its evidence, its computed amount, and its deadline, and you submit through a deep link.

03

Proof

Results are published with property profile, timeframe, claim mix, and approval evidence — or not at all. No average recovery figures without a verification file.
