In recent years, hotel technology has undergone a period of convergence: PMS, reservation systems, guest preference databases, social media platforms and e-marketing systems are finally sharing data in a meaningful and actionable way. The coming together of these once distinct disciplines has heightened the importance of revenue management because revenue teams are analysing the essential data needed by other departments to streamline their own operations. In short, in this age of technological convergence, revenue management has become the lifeblood of the hotel organisation.
