Plava Laguna, one of Croatia’s leading hospitality groups, transformed its revenue performance by integrating IDeaS G3 RMS with its PMS, PHOBS. The result: faster, smarter pricing decisions, improved efficiency, and a 17% increase in revenue in just one year. Their story showcases the power of automation in highly seasonal, complex hotel operations.
Why it matters: Plava Laguna’s case proves that with the right tech stack, even lean revenue teams can manage large, diverse portfolios and achieve substantial revenue growth — all while improving operational speed and accuracy.
  • IDeaS G3 RMS delivers automated forecasting and dynamic pricing, fully integrated with PHOBS PMS for a seamless tech ecosystem. Plava Laguna implemented G3 RMS across 24 hotels and 5,000 rooms to automate rate management, enhance pricing decisions, and increase team efficiency.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Plava Laguna aimed to streamline rate management, improve team productivity, and leverage integrated technology to drive revenue growth in a competitive, seasonal market.
  • Automate Rate Management: Manually managing rates was too slow for a seasonal business. Automation was critical to react quickly to changing demand.

  • Increase Team Efficiency: With a small revenue team managing thousands of rooms, they needed tools that could scale their impact without expanding headcount.

  • Improve Strategic Focus: By reducing time spent on repetitive tasks, the team wanted to shift focus to high-impact revenue strategies and long-term planning.
