Do we need a new revenue management toolkit for 2021?

View by Ally Northfield – Director at Revenue by Design

"For hotels starting out on optimisation the good news is there are far more affordable choices of RM systems, so no excuse for Excel files. Revenue management needs differ by hotel size and location. Do you have the in-house skills to manage a revenue optimisation process or should you consider outsourcing? What outcomes do you need? Performance reporting, forecasting, and a pricing tool? Or a data analytics system that fully integrates with your distribution partners? At the very least, aim for automated reporting for business visibility, market pricing from a rate shopper, and ideally participate in a market benchmarking report."
