REVENUE MANAGEMENT
A Boutique Inn Dream Becomes a Reality (with a Little Help from Friends)
Verified case study
Hotel Tech Report has reached out to hoteliers at Inn on Lake Granbury to verify this case study.
Nestled between large oaks and resting on a crystal lake in North Texas sits the Inn on Lake Granbury. The elegant, three-acre property was opened in 2005 by husband and wife Jim Leitch and Cathy Casey who left their day jobs behind
to begin a new adventure in hospitality.
Why it matters:
The inn, which hosts a small staff of about ten employees, requires significant attention from its owners. With so much to do to run their small business, the duo couldn’t continue dedicating so much time to manually determining the
most optimal rate changes and monitoring competitive pricing trends.
-
IDeaS G3 Revenue Management System (G3 RMS) delivers scientific pricing and inventory control decisions at the room type and rate code level to drive optimal revenue performance across segments. Powered by SAS® High Performance Analytics, G3 RMS automates pricing, restrictions and overbooking decisions to maximize RevPAR and help you focus on what’s important.
Top 3 Core Objectives:
In an effort to streamline their revenue management process, and optimize profits and productivity, the couple began their search for an automated revenue management system (RMS) in early 2020.
-
Guesswork around rate seasonally: Rely on revenue management to understand trends and historical data.
-
Time-savings: Allow more time to focus on guests while trusting the system.
-
Capitalize on revenue trends: Gain insight into what competitors were doing.
