Channel intelligence
What you actually keep per channel, a warning when a promotion drops the net through the floor, and what would happen if you matched an agency's price.
What it solves
The price published on an agency and what the hotel keeps from that night are two very different numbers, and between them sit commission, taxes, discounts and the cost of collecting. Without seeing them together, a well-meant promotion can sell the hotel below what it costs.
You notice it in things like these
- You launch a promotion and the month closes worse than without it.
- There is no way to know whether matching an agency's price on your own website leaves more money or less.
How it works
The net, with everything subtracted
Commission, taxes, discounts and the cost of collecting. When the booking does not carry the agency's commission, it is estimated and labelled as an estimate, instead of showing a net that looks exact.
It warns when the net drops below the floor
It flags promotions that leave the net below the floor the hotel already accepts elsewhere. It forbids nothing: it warns beforehand, which is while there is still time to change it.
And it lets you try it first
The simulator compares an agency's price against the hotel's own channels, to see what each route would leave before publishing it.
Where it lives in the panel
- Rooms & rates
- Rates
- Channel intelligence
It lives under Rates and not Distribution because you open it with the price in front of you: it is price analysis, not channel setup.
What it needs first
Channels with their commission, so it can be subtracted.
