How does iBex Revenue Management work?

We have analyzed how hotel owners price their rooms in today's competitive hotel market. What are the factors a hotel revenue manager takes into account when manually updating pricing on a daily basis? We found 2 factors that are of the upmost importance.

(1) Occupancy: When looking at any particular date in the future, the revenue manager must factor in not only the number of rooms left, but also the number of days remaining to sell available rooms.

(2) What’s going on in the market? Looking what the others are charging around you is the second thing owners look at.

Currently, most hotel revenue managers are doing this manually. This takes a lot of time and is very susceptible to misinterpretation and pricing error. So we have decided to build a system that does just what you would usually do manually, but automated and a thousand times quicker.
