On our system it does things it cannot do anywhere else
A revenue management system is worth as much as the levers it can move
and how closely it sees what is happening. Wired to a third-party system
it moves some of them, on whatever that system exposes. Wired to
OS it moves all of them, on first-hand data.
Every selling lever, not just the price
On a third-party system RatePilot moves price, closures, minimum stay and arrival and departure blocks. On OS it reaches minimum and maximum stay, minimum and maximum lead time, per-channel selling caps and held-back availability: strategies you cannot even express through an external channel manager.
The booking shows up as it lands
Inside the suite a booking is available the instant it is written, with no sync step in between. The picture of demand the engine decides on is the real one, not a copy of it.
Fewer steps between the fact and the decision
The recalculation runs every night across the whole calendar and, during the day, several times an hour on the dates of the coming week. On OS each run starts from the bookings already recorded, without waiting for a sync: one link fewer between demand moving and the price.
One inventory, for everyone
Revenue management reasons about the same rooms the booking engine sells and the front desk sees. No reconciling what pricing believes is available against what actually is.
