The Client: The client is a 3 star hotel located in Secunderabad, Telangana. Established in 2001, the hotel is known for offering a blend of 3 star opulence and a timeless tradition of hospitality.

The Challenges: The Revnomix team identified the following challenges after being hired as Revenue Management Consultants:

1. Low Unqualified demand materialization with low OTA contribution. The hotel was not getting enough bookings from the leisure segment and non-corporate segments.

2. In spite of having a competitive product, the hotel’s ranking on OTA platform was not ideal, which in turn impacted visibility and search ranking. The hotel had bad content and review scores on OTA platforms. It also faced multiple level disarrayed setup and mapping issues, which meant that the desired pricing strategy was not accurately reflected.

3. The hotel’s competitors were better ranked on OTA platforms and thus were garnering more bookings.

The Strategy: The Revnomix team decided to face the challenges by focusing on the following areas

• Pricing – Pricing was flat and never reflected correctly due to Setup issues explained above. Pricing was changed as per the patterns derived out of historical data analysis with base DOW pattern and rate push as per the pickup and price sensitivity.
• Performance – Daily monitoring of performance was initiated to identify yielding gaps. Weekly pattern validations to keep eye on anticipated balance in price, Pickup, volume final revenue materialization.
