HotelREZ leverages comp-set rates in a flexible, open format to maximize pricing
"We chose Revcaster because its team has the same emphasis on client service and value as HotelREZ," said Josef Lapka, Executive Director Business Operations. "Revcaster helps us maximize property rates by providing comp-set pricing data in a flexible, open format without a big price tag. We can see competitive rate comparisons for member properties and quickly evaluate pricing dynamics. This will be particularly important as HotelREZ expands its services into US markets from our new North American headquarters in Miami."
Revcaster pricing data flows seamlessly, automatically into amalgamated report
Thanks to Revcaster's technical support team, pricing data flows automatically into the HotelREZ reporting system, said Lapka. "Our team presents Revcaster pricing data to hotel members alongside website analytics data and reservation data from the Central Reservation System. We amalgamate all these data sources in one place so members are able to gain valuable insight to shape pricing, marketing decisions and maximize revenues generated from all the different distribution channels. We provide hotels with this level of integrated data, along with revenue consultancy, to enable them to make more informed decisions. They do not see Revcaster's name, but they benefit from its valuable information."
Revcaster provides price parity data for one-night and three-night stays 10 days in advance. "We can create our own reports to verify strategies that establish parity. We can also increase or decrease the reporting data points as needed" said Lapka.

- An openly available API that is free to Revcaster customers.
- A scalable pricing structure.
- No long-term contract requirement.
