No-code webhooks from legacy PMS to your booking app.
Solo founders building hospitality booking apps can't find affordable APIs to integrate with legacy hotel property management systems.
HotelWire captures events from legacy PMS via polling or direct hooks and forwards them as modern webhooks. Indie devs set up in clicks without parsing protocols. Perfect for real-time syncs like booking confirmations without full API rebuilds.
