What is Business Intelligence Software (in Hospitality)

Business Intelligence tools are designed exclusively for analysis; to provide fast and widespread access to accurate information and insight. Through dashboards, reports and analytics. users can explore their business – both historical performance and future activity. BI automates reporting, turning report producers into information consumers who can in turn analyze and apply their findings to influence business results. Business Intelligence is about gathering data from a variety of sources and then utilizing technology to serve information to decision-makers in ways that help them to understand where opportunities exist within their business. Throughout the hotel industry, we suffer from a lack of critical, timely information on the most fundamental aspects of our business. We attempt to address this deficiency through manual reporting; printing reports from operational systems, keying numbers into spreadsheets and emailing files daily. This turns some of the industry’s brightest minds into simple report producers. BI automates, accelerates and enhances reporting, turning these report producers into information consumers who can analyze and apply their findings to take advantage of business opportunities while they still exist.
Finding the right Business Intelligence solution for your hotel depends on several variables ranging from user experience and pricing to functionality and support. This guide is designed to help you identify the best Business Intelligence vendors, questions to ask on demos, read unbiased reviews from similar hoteliers and so much more.

BENEFITS

How can business intelligence solutions improve profitability and efficiency?

The benefits of BI software in hospitality are numerous.
  • Increase Occupancy %: Using advanced Pace metrics, users can see areas of opportunity or concern well in advance and take action to optimize their hotel’s occupancy. 
  • Boost ADR: Analyzing production across market segments, booking channels and source markets, users will be able to see their most and least profitable business, and adjust accordingly. 
  • Grow TRevPAR: By analyzing the segments with the highest total net spend and determining when & where those guests are being displaced, users can optimize their mix to generate higher revenues across departments.
FEATURES

  • Cloud Infrastructure: Ease of access to BI across devices. No expensive, lengthy implementation or physical on-site installation. 
  • Depth of Information: Ability to not only view statistics/figures, but to dive deeper into the data and understand what’s impacting those results. 
  • Data Management: Ability to manage & clean data to maintain data & reporting quality and accuracy.

BI Tool pricing typically includes an initial setup fee as well as an ongoing monthly subscription cost. The monthly cost can be dependent on the number of rooms/hotels using the tool and the tool may be offered at different price points with differing levels of features & complexity.
 
Vendors start as low as $2 and as high as $10/room per month, this range would offer the most basic BI solutions and reporting without predictive or self-service features.Hotels that are taking their first steps into BI would benefit from starting off with this kind of low cost solution.

FAQs

Hoteliers Also Ask

The five stages of business intelligence in the hospitality industry are essential for hoteliers looking to leverage business intelligence solutions to enhance hotel performance and profitability. These stages ensure that hotel business intelligence solutions provide actionable insights and support data-driven decision-making. 1. Data Collection & Integration The first stage involves gathering hotel data from multiple sources, such as PMS, POS, OTAs, channel manager, and rate shopping tools. Effective data management ensures that relevant data sets are centralized, eliminating reliance on spreadsheets and manual Excel reports. Hotel business intelligence software integrates data to create a unified view of hotel operations. 2. Data Processing & Analysis Once data is collected, business intelligence tools process historical data, real-time data, and market trends to generate valuable metrics such as occupancy, ADR (average daily rate), RevPAR, and total revenue. Advanced BI solutions help streamline data analysis, transforming raw data into visualization and dashboards for easy interpretation. 3. Performance Monitoring & Benchmarking In this stage, hotel management teams use BI tools to track KPIs and compare hotel performance against competitors through benchmarking. Dashboards provide real-time updates on business performance, helping hoteliers monitor their marketing campaigns, dynamic pricing, and pricing strategies to optimize profitability. 4. Forecasting & Strategic Decision-Making Using demand forecasting, business intelligence solutions help hoteliers make informed decisions about budgeting, revenue management, and market trends. A well-implemented revenue management system (RMS) leverages real-time data to improve pricing strategies and increase operational efficiency. 5. Optimization & Actionable Insights The final stage focuses on using business intelligence solutions to optimize hotel operations, enhance guest experiences, and drive better business decisions. By leveraging business intelligence tools, hotels can maximize revenue management, improve strategic decisions, and enhance property management system (PMS) functionality for better decisions. Through these five stages, hotel business intelligence solutions enable hoteliers to transition from relying on spreadsheets to utilizing advanced BI solutions that empower data-driven decisions and drive long-term profitability.

Mission
Our mission is to speed up pace of innovation and adoption of technology in the global hotel industry to make it one of the most digitally savvy and efficient industries on the planet.
Vision
Our vision is to make Hotel Tech Report the starting point for every tech stack decision within the global hotel industry from small B&Bs to major chains.

We sell different types of products and services to technology companies to help them educate buyers, build their brand and grow their install base. These services are usually sold through bundled membership packages but are also sold a la carte and include: sponsored content, advertising, lead generation and marketing campaigns. While members do receieve many benefits to help improve their presence ranging from enhanced premium profiles to review collection services—membership status and sponsorship do not influence the HT Score ranking methodology in any way.

We rank products based on our proprietary ranking algorithm, the HT Score. The HT Score is an aggregated score out of 100 that is relative within each category that is intended to encapsulate key variables in the buying process including: customer ratings & reviews, partner ecosystem, integration availability, customer support, geographic reach and more.

Similar to REVPAR for hotels, the HT Score is intended to be a normalizing metric to be able to better compare different vendors. Instead of rate and occupancy, the two prinmary drivers are a blend of review quantity and average ratings. Also similar to REVPAR, the HT Score is a metric to aid in decision making but is not intended to be used as a sole factor when selecting vendors.

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering hoteliers.

Core Hotel Tech Report content is never influenced by vendors and sponsored content is always clearly designated as such. Our team will only write sponsored content about products that we have either (1) demoed (2) gathered extensive user research on or (3) used ourselves.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.

HTR crowd sources tens of thousands of verified reviews every year and aggregates hundreds of thousands of other data points ranging from expert recommendations to product integrations data which are instantly analyzed and made available to millions of hoteliers around the globe to discover, vet and research digital products for free on the platform to make technology decisions faster, easier and less risky-thus speeding up the pace of global innovation and adoption of technology.

Choosing the right software for your hotel depends on dozens of variables many of which can be quantified based on the characteristics of your property but many of which also come down to personal preference. Is your hotel a small property with limited budget? Or is your property a luxury resort with lots of outlets and high ADR? HTR is designed to offer dynamic filters to quickly be able to personalize the data set to your characteristics. We also break down hotels into key segments/personas based on common property characteristics that typically service as indicators that drive similar product decisions which are intended to help you save time and quickly identify the best match for your hotel or portfolio.

While HTR’s data set is constantly growing making its recommendations more representative and accurate over time, our programatic recommendations based on the HT Score, data and segment popularity are intended to serve as a tool for you to leverage in the buying journey but do not replace thorough due dilligence and research. No two hotels are alike and most purchasing decisions also include personal preferences which is why we highly recommend that buyers consider a minimum of 3-5 vendors during the research processthat you get live demos and price quotes from to be able to make an informed decision.
