What It Is
The Clearing Station (now marketed as CST PRO) is an online hotel channel management and distribution system developed by Vioma GmbH, a German hotel software company. The platform functions as a central hub through which hotels synchronize their rates, availability, and booking data across a range of online distribution channels — including booking portals (IDS), destination management systems (DMS), and global distribution system (GDS) providers. The system is cloud-based and operates in real time to prevent overbooking.
Who It Serves and How Properties Connect
Vioma's Clearing Station is designed for hotels and accommodation providers seeking centralized control of their online distribution without managing each channel separately. Properties connect to the system and can manage all their connected channels — such as Booking.com, HRS, and Expedia — through a single interface. The platform also integrates with Vioma's own booking engine and hotel management tools, creating an end-to-end solution for independent and chain hotels operating in German-speaking markets.
Specialty and Region
Vioma GmbH is based in Germany and its products — including the Clearing Station / CST PRO — are particularly well established in the German, Austrian, and Swiss (DACH) hospitality market. The system is a strong choice for European hotels, especially independent properties and smaller chains looking for a region-appropriate channel management solution with local language support and market-specific integrations.
