  • Analytics and automation are nothing new for revenue managers but recent advancements in tech take these areas to new heights. Only a short while back predictive analytics, forward-looking data and live insights were still futuristic dreams. Today they’re a reality. That’s a good thing for revenue managers, especially in the upcoming ramp-up phase, these new capabilities are crucial to making the most of unpredictable markets. 
  • The ideal solution here is for the Cluster Revenue Manager to use a system that automates data collection. First, this saves you time gathering information. Second, it gives you immediate access to the data you need to shape strategies and make recommendations for all hotels in your cluster.
  • Using an automated system to collect live market and competitor data solves this problem. For the best results, pick a business intelligence (BI) solution that provides live, on-demand reporting. This will give you access to the latest numbers whenever you need them, otherwise, you’ll lose time again on updating old reports.
