A New Era of Hospitality in South Africa: Inside Totalstay’s Success with Atomize RMS

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Totalstay, a growing South African hospitality group operating across Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria with 13 properties and over 500 rooms, implemented the Atomize RMS to shift from manual rate-management to a more automated, data-driven pricing process.

Why it matters: In a market where portfolio diversity (from aparthotels to luxury villas) and variable demand complicate pricing decisions, this case shows how a hospitality group in South Africa used technology to streamline revenue operations and support growth while maintaining service levels.

Atomize RMS connects to Totalstay’s systems to continuously analyse booking trends, competitor rates and demand signals and then applies pricing changes automatically, reducing the need for manual spreadsheet-based updates. At Totalstay, the team went from manually analysing large volumes of data and updating rates manually to deploying Atomize to handle those tasks, freeing up staff time for strategic planning and guest-experience work.

Top 3 Core Objectives: As Totalstay expanded its multi-property portfolio and aimed to improve operational efficiency, the team sought to automate rate setting, improve pricing accuracy and free up time for strategic tasks rather than routine manual updates.

Automate rate setting: Increase the average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) by having pricing that reflects current market conditions.
Improve ADR &: They also wanted to optimize rates dynamically to stay close to the market and update prices in real-time.
Reallocate staff effort: Shift staff time away from repetitive pricing tasks towards strategic revenue management and guest-experience initiatives.
