SiteMinder Multi-Property enables hotel groups and chains to load, manage and distribute their rates centrally.
Why it matters: Until very recently, TFE Hotels, which has earned a reputation as the “developers’ hotelier”, had two revenue team members loading rates for its 60-strong portfolio of hotels. However, SiteMinder Multi-Property has alleviated some of their workload by removing some of the complexity.
  • As TFE Hotels continues to recover from the challenges of the pandemic, it will need to be more dynamic with its rates, reacting as the market changes.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Significant time and efficiency gains are critical to the bottom line of any hotel. TFE Hotels is one such example, and the Australia-based hotel chain anticipates it will achieve these through implementing SiteMinder Multi-Property.
  • Automation wins: The ability to make decisions and act swiftly is crucial. “The value needs to be there. Our technology must enable us to move quickly.”

  • Gain more time: SiteMinder gives TFE the ability to do things themselves. It’s particularly important during periods when people are unavailable, and they need a job done fast

  • Remove complexity: The TFE group acknowledges how time-consuming the task of loading rates is and says the ability to be able to do it all in one go, for all hotels in the portfolio, will make a huge difference.
