References
"Parity Insight addresses a major issue in the hotel industry right now."
"Using OTA Insight, Best Western has seen a 75% reduction in the number of parity issues that arise."
"Parity Insight offers the most accurate and relevant data we have ever seen, helping us to quickly make effective distribution and contracting decisions."
"In the past six months, we’ve managed to lower the frequency of undercutting by OTA’s in our hotel portfolio down to only 3% of the time."
"An amazing tool to get a snapshot of what's happening in the market as well as your own hotel. The user friendly interface is perfect for reporting, from front desk all the way up to GM level."
"OTA Insight is great for so many things but my favourite is the parity comparisons. It makes it so easy to be aware of issue rather than running into them and provides easy access to information and links to actually solve the them. Great time saver!"
"With Revenue Insight I have saved about 30-40 minutes every day in analysing the market and it has had a tremendous impact; RevPAR growth has averaged 5% over the last 16 months and ADR has increased by $20 over the course of a year."
"t’s a real game changer for our business. We’ve tracked a positive trend since implementing Revenue Insight. In the past six months, we’ve seen a total revenue increase of over $400,000 and an RGI increase of 7.4% YoY by shifting business to more profitable segments at our 200+ room beta property"
"It's an intuitive and user friendly tool extremely helpful for our revenue managers, providing timely and accurate rate shops straight into our RMS solution. Live shops are done within seconds and all the rates are live linked."
"Revenue Insight has helped us slash the time we spend on reporting, leaving us more chances to dive deeper into the data and better understand our property's overall performance.""
""We needed to get past the onslaught of cancellations and focus on identifying new customers. With Revenue Insight, we have the flexibility to immediately separate and understand what booking behaviour was taking place.""
"Highgate is excited to be working with OTA Insight, We had been searching for the best analytics technology that could give us the advantage to maximize our revenue across our portfolio. With the new Revenue Insight platform, we have the next level of business intelligence we need to stay ahead of the competition."
"Since using Rate Insight by OTA Insight, our revenue and reservations team have drastically improved their efficiency, completing tasks an estimated 60% faster."
"For years we were looking for a solution to track rate parity, ota ranking, and comp pricing with unlimited rate shops. I was surprised to find that OTA Insight offered all of this and more....all on an easy to use platform."
"The variety of the rate shops and the diversion that it has is crucial. Not only do I have the possibility to shop between refundable and non-refundable rates so the lowest possible or my BAR so that I can differentiate based on amount of people occupying the room, including or excluding breakfast rates...it gives additional value and a new dimension to what rate shopping should be."
