Registrar desk for the library and Submit for inclusion. Official updates need a matching company email domain.
Official product information must come from an email domain that matches the product’s company. Tips from elsewhere are welcome but marked unverified. This site is independent · not funded or endorsed by vendors.
Independence
Not funded or endorsed by vendors
This is an independent operator community and field guide. Ads, when we run them, only keep the lights on · never paid placements dressed as reviews.
Submit for inclusion
Propose a tool or send an official product update
To stay useful, the site must stay current without turning into a brochure rack. This is how products get onto the evaluation list, and how official facts get corrected, with a clear bar for what counts as “official.”
Two lanes
Lane 1
Have a product that belongs on the catalogue? File it at the registrar desk: submissions@carrentalrevenuemanagement.org
Suggest a rate shopping or rate automation product (or a clear module of either) that operators actually use. We evaluate shopping and automation separately. Corporate enterprise platforms and franchise SaaS are different buy classes · say which you mean.
Lane 2
Official product information or update
Corrections, capability changes, write-back status, geography, integrations, or approved assets for a tool already on the site (or under review).
Third-party tips (operators, consultants) are welcome in either lane. They are labeled unverified third party until corroborated or confirmed through the official path below.
Hard rule · company domain match
Official = matching company domain
Official information or updates about a named product must come from an email address whose domain matches that product’s company domain.
| Acceptable as official | Not accepted as official |
|---|---|
name@vendorcompany.com when that company owns the product | Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo, iCloud, and other personal mailboxes |
| A clearly documented subsidiary domain used as public corporate mail | Agency, PR, or consultant domains speaking “on behalf of” the vendor |
| Reseller or partner domains unless they are the product’s legal owner | |
| Anonymous or unverified forms with no corporate mailbox |
If ownership is ambiguous (holding company, white-label, recent acquisition), say so and include a public URL that shows the relationship. We may ask for a second confirmation from the primary corporate domain.
Why: keeps review cards from being rewritten by freelancers, competitors, or well-meaning fans. Vendors do not buy placement · and they also do not get stealth edits from unmatched inboxes.
What to include
New inclusion
- Product and vendor legal names
- Category: shopping · automation · or both (scored separately)
- Who it is for (corporate / franchise / independent) and typical geography
- CRS / PMS write-back: yes / no / partial + named systems
- Public evidence links (dated)
- Why operators should care (two or three sentences, not a press release)
Official update
- Product / module name
- What changed, with dates
- Write-back yes / no / partial + systems (if relevant)
- Evidence URL or attachment
- Logo / UI stills only if they meet image specs (SVG or PNG ≥1000px; UI 1600px+; no “#1” badge art)
Do not send: live competitor rate dumps, scraped shops, or customer lists.
How to submit
- Email updates@carrentalrevenuemanagement.org (or use the Submit form when live).
- Subject lines:
- Inclusion · [Product] · new tool
- Vendor update · [Product] · official correction or capability change
- Tip · [Product] · third-party / unverified
- Official updates must use a matching company domain.
- We aim to acknowledge within about 10 business days.
- Status: pending · accepted · rejected. Accepted official updates may set last verified; they never silently rewrite the review body · material changes get a dated note.
What we will not do
- Sell placement, badges, or “featured” slots
- Treat uplift percentages or “#1” claims as fact without labeling them vendor claim
- Imply a franchise case study is a corporate HQ deploy
- Equate “connects to your PMS” with CRS write-back
- Auto-publish logos or copy into a review card without editorial
Form stays placeholder until the vendor desk is live. Product names are the property of their respective owners.
