Meet Pricing Manager: Your secret weapon in hotel revenue mastery

Developed specifically for independent hotels, Pricing Manager leverages artificial intelligence to deliver insights and automation previously available only to large hotel chains.

Time: The Independent Hotelier's most precious resource

For independent hotels, streamlining operations is crucial. Kristy Williams of Cairns Harbourside Hotel shares, "As an independent hotel with a lean team and no dedicated revenue lead, systems-based support is crucial for our day-to-day pricing."

Pricing Manager addresses this need. "The biggest impact? Being able to make agile, fast rate changes," Kristy reports.

The result? "A significant decrease in time spent on daily rate decisions." Imagine the operational efficiency gains and the enhanced guest satisfaction you could achieve with that extra time.

From gut feeling to data-driven decisions

In the hotel industry, pricing often feels like a high-stakes guessing game, especially for independent hotels without access to the tools used by hotel chains.

Purnima from Rambha Palace explains, "My biggest challenge was efficiently determining fair prices based on various factors."

Pricing Manager turns this challenge into an opportunity. A. Mubarak from Dara Hotel states, "Now I can approach pricing scientifically."

The outcome? "A firm understanding of market trends and the ability to develop targeted pricing strategies to meet company goals," says A. Mubarak. No more relying solely on historical data or gut instinct.

Your crystal ball: predicting the unpredictable

In hotel revenue management, foresight is invaluable. Dora Sarkozy, who runs an independent hotel in Budapest, was "looking for software to understand both short-term and long-term market trends."

With Pricing Manager, Dora found her solution. "After using the software, I can see competitor pricing and upcoming peak periods."

The impact? "I've optimized our prices to a higher level," Dora reports. In the competitive world of hospitality, this edge can significantly impact profitability and occupancy rates.

As Martin's Hotels discovered, their biggest challenge was "finding time to decide on the right price, which is now possible in seconds thanks to Pricing Manager."

The verdict on Pricing Manager is clear and consistently positive:

Kristy Williams says that Pricing Manager "significantly decreases my time spent on daily rate decisions."

Purnima adds that Pricing Manager is "a powerful tool that can revolutionize pricing strategies and help achieve business goals more efficiently."

Dora Sarkozy finds Pricing Manager "easy to understand and use."

Hotel Derby puts it bluntly: "You have to use Pricing Manager to improve your pricing management."

Adding to these testimonials, Brian Muawad, Revenue Manager at Oceanic Enterprises, shares his experience: "With Pricing Manager, I have control over my pricing strategy. It gives me personalized recommendations and I can send the pricing directly to my PMS. Just like that, this tool makes your life easier."

The success stories don't stop there. Jean-Baptiste Marx, the owner of Château de Schengen in Luxembourg shares his experience: "When I opened my hotel, Château de Schengen, in Luxembourg, I had no idea how the neighboring hotels managed their revenue management (RM). I was looking for powerful software to help me adjust my prices based on local market demand and nearby events. As soon as we started with Pricing Manager, we immediately saw a massive increase in bookings, with prices adjusted daily based on the occupancy rate."
