Sunshine Coast hotel boosts revenue by $210k with Duetto’s tech stack

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

With support from Veritasus Consulting, an 81-room property sitting in the Accor group identified the need for an advanced revenue management tool to better handle their diverse demand and enhance their strategy.

Why it matters: The hotel attracts a diverse range of travelers, with fluctuating demand from corporate guests during the week, leisure on weekends and school holidays, and frequent group bookings throughout the year. They required a more sophisticated pricing approach.

Before Duetto, the team relied on manual price updates within their PMS, a static and time-consuming process. This didn’t account for fluctuating demand and varying traveler profiles, leading to missed opportunities to optimize pricing and ultimately, lost revenue.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The property, in collaboration with the revenue consulting firm, Veritasus Consulting, identified missed opportunities and recognized the need for a revenue management system (RMS) to capitalize on demand and optimize pricing strategies.

Align pricing across profiles: Given the fluctuating demand from different traveler segments, the property wanted to transition towards a dynamic pricing strategy to maximize both revenue and occupancy.
Maximize revenue through forecasting: The hotel wanted to move away from manual pricing updates to seize the opportunity to run targeted campaigns, driving incremental room nights on low-demand periods and optimizing occupancy and ADR during peak periods.
Minimize displacement: The property was aiming to streamline the group booking process to reduce displacement, ensuring more efficient management of both group and transient bookings.
