The collaboration between the two platforms is set to integrate RateGain’s global distribution, central reservations, and pricing capabilities with HotelKey’s property management system (PMS) platform. The integration will be implemented across HotelKey’s portfolio of over 4,000 properties, with hundreds of properties already accessing the combined capabilities, according to the company’s exchange filing.
