Atlanta,
GA – April 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / The
Rainmaker Group (Rainmaker), the market leader in profit optimization
solutions for the gaming and hospitality industry, today announces the
official launch of its next generation revcaster® platform at
AAHOA 2017. An affordable, easy-to-use and flexible solution developed
specifically to meet the needs of limited service and mid-market hotels,
the new revcaster platform brings actionable insights on market,
demand, and property dynamics to the surface. This data transparency provides
hoteliers with the relevant information they need to identify opportunities
and to make pricing decisions and changes that will drive better revenue
outcomes for their operation.
“Due
to a lack of time, budget or resources, many hotels don’t have the ability
to make dynamic pricing decisions, “said Vicki Gideon, CRME, Managing Director
of Bridgetown Revenue Management Solutions. “If they make them at all,
they are often based on data that has been gathered and analyzed from a
variety of disconnected spreadsheets, reports, and systems. This time consuming
and inefficient process makes it difficult to stay on top of key market
metrics and ultimately results in pricing outcomes that are less than desirable
for the property.”

Rainmaker’s
new revcaster platform addresses this challenge by simplifying and
enhancing existing processes in an intelligent and results-driven manner
that provides a cost-effective alternative for these hotel operators. The
additions and enhancements to the revcaster rate shopping solution
are the first to be released following its acquisition by Rainmaker in
2015, and the next generation platform represents a major innovation for
revenue optimization in the mid-market.
“Best
Western selected revcaster as our rate-shopping provider five years
ago, recognizing them at the time as a highly innovative startup with excellent
customer service,” said Monte Gardiner, Managing Director of Revenue Management
for Best Western Hotels and Resorts. “Their unique, extensive revenue management
experience in the mid-market segment has continued to help us improve performance
for members ever since, and we continue to be excited about their focus
on innovation and customer service as part of the Rainmaker portfolio.”
Key
features of Rainmaker’s next generation revcaster platform include:
-
The ability
to integrate and analyze data from varying sources, such as rate shopping,
PMS, weather, events, and benchmarking data (STR)
-
The ability
to collaborate, manage and share data across different groups, teams, and
organizations
-
Analyze
information with customizable, user-friendly dashboards
-
The ability
to quickly surface key, actionable insights from all property data with
a powerful, flexible rules and alerts engine
The next
generation revcaster platform also includes enhanced rate shopping
tools, which provide competitive intelligence functionalities and analytics.
This revcaster next generation rate shopping solution provides significant
enhancements to the functionality of the original revcaster solution,
including the ability to create custom dashboards, widgets, and rules/alerts
based on rate shopping data.
Rainmaker’s
next generation revcaster platform is being officially unveiled today at
AAHOA’s 2017 Convention and Tradeshow, taking place April 11-14th in San
Antonio. Please visit Booth # 601 for a personal demonstration of the platform’s
