Village Hotels Enhances Revenue Management and Forecasting Capabilities with IDeaS G3 RMS and RevPlan

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Village Hotels, a UK-based group with 33 properties, transformed its revenue and forecasting capabilities with IDeaS G3 RMS and RevPlan. What once took weeks now takes hours, thanks to automation, integration, and scenario planning. The result: smarter decisions, faster execution, and long-term strategic gains.

Why it matters: This case highlights how automating forecasting and budgeting at scale can dramatically boost efficiency, improve forecast accuracy, and empower commercial teams with data-driven insights—all essential for growing a multi-property hotel group.

G3 RMS and RevPlan eliminate manual processes by automating revenue management and budget forecasting. Village Hotels reduced its annual rooms budget process from 2.5 weeks to just 2.5 hours, improved data accuracy, and enabled scenario-based strategic planning across 33 properties.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Village Hotels aimed to replace time-intensive, manual forecasting processes with an automated, scalable solution that improves data accuracy, integrates seamlessly, and supports growth-focused decision-making.

Streamline Forecasting: Manual processes took weeks and were prone to errors. Automation was needed to improve efficiency and allow the team to focus on strategy over data entry.
Improve Data Accuracy: Fragmented systems led to inconsistent data. A unified solution was necessary to provide accurate, actionable insights across all departments.
Enable Scenario Planning: The team needed the ability to model different business conditions, anticipate risk, and support long-term strategic decisions with confidence.
