Online booking that automatically feeds availability through to other booking sites?
Internet Marketing
Does anyone know of online booking software that can be used as a hostel's main booking system and that automatically feeds availability through to all the main online booking services such as hostelworld, hostelbookers, gomio, HI, etc? Updating availability on all these sites makes being on them all impossible for us. We have been able to use the Scottish YHA system up to know, which automatically fed through to HI and hostelbookers, but they don't want affiliates using their system anymore.
Can any other systmes do this? If it doesn't already exist, is there anyone out there interested in developing one?

Since 2009 our hostel has used Backpackonline, a bed management system provided free by Hostelworld. It's an excellent system, but won't integrate with other systems (and it seems they can't integrate with it..!). Yes, HW integrates with others, but seemingly BPO does not. Would like to hear from ANYONE who uses BPO and has found another way to manage channels without chucking BPO in the bin and starting afresh...!
