How to effectively manage products across group hotels

Learn how to easily manage and distribute products across multiple hotels or locations while maintaining control and efficiency.

Organizations with multiple businesses can streamline product management using flexible tools that either duplicate products for independent use or share them with centralized control.


1. Copy to Business

Use this when each Business needs its own independent version of a product.

Example

Multiple hotels offer the same service (e.g. airport transfer), but each manages its own pricing and availability.

How it works

  • Go to Products and select a product

  • Click Actions > Copy to business

Alternatively, use the option within the product.

  • Select the target Business and confirm

Result

  • An identical product is created with full editing rights.

  • All settings (schedules, availability, pricing, etc.) can be configured independently.

  • The receiving Business becomes the Product owner, as indicated in the relevant column in the Products table.

  • Changes do not sync between copies - updates in one version do not affect the other.

Each business operates its own version of the product:

  • Products: Fully independent per business

  • Bookings: Recorded only in the business where they are made (via dashboard or widgets)

  • Customers: Created only in that same Business

  • Reports: Include only that Business’s bookings


2. Share to Business

Use this when essential product settings should remain consistent across Businesses.

Example

A spa service is offered across multiple hotels, with availability managed by one property.

How it works

  • Go to Products and select a product

  • Click Actions > Share to business

Alternatively, use the option within the product.

  • Select the target Business and confirm

Result

  • Product is shared with limited editing rights, meaning only specific fields can be edited (e.g. product name, content & media).

  • Core settings such as Operators, Resources, Schedules and Pricing remain controlled by the original business that created the product.

  • The original Business remains the Product owner.

  • Product ownership and sharing are clearly indicated in the Products table.

  • Changes to the original product sync across all Businesses.

Operationally:

  • Products: availability, pricing and core configuration remain centralized

  • Bookings: Recorded in the business where they are made

  • Customers: Created in that business

  • Reports: Reflect only that Business’s bookings

Note:

For greater flexibility in the shared product’s availability and pricing, enable “Allow overrides for schedules & prices” to create custom settings for these elements. This enables the receiving Business to set its own pricing and availability while maintaining the same product structure.


3. Sharing of products by suppliers

Suppliers can create products in their own dashboard and share them with multiple Businesses.

Key points

  • Supplier is the product owner

  • Updates sync automatically across all Businesses

  • Businesses have limited editing rights


Notes:

  • All copied or shared products appear as Offline by default.

  • Consider using the Master Account feature for easier multi-account management.
