Atlanta,
GA – October 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / The
Rainmaker Group has been ranked a champion in Info-Tech Research Group’s
Vendor Landscape report on revenue management systems, as well as an exemplary
performer for casino hotels. The study evaluated eight RMS providers, who
were selected for their broad capabilities across multiple platforms and
their strong market or reputational presence among mid- and large-sized
hotel enterprises. Those dubbed champions earned high scores for most evaluation
criteria, offer excellent value, enjoy a strong market presence, and “are
usually the trend setters for the industry,” according to Info-Tech’s report.

 “With
more than 15 years of large casino resort and large hotel group experience,
The Rainmaker Group has a keen focus on non-room total guest value components
of revenue maximization,” said Larry Fretz, gaming and hospitality practice
lead for Info-Tech Research Group.
The
report ranks Rainmaker as an exemplary performer in the gaming-hospitality
industry specifically, calling it “a leading RMS player” that is “often
viewed as the go-to solution.”
Rainmaker’s
flagship revenue management solution, GuestREV,
was the only product to have all 10 of the evaluated features that were
included in the Vendor Landscape study “fully present.” These include channel,
competitive rates, big data, events and promotion, groups, multi-property,
non-room revenue, reporting, real-time, and availability controls.
Among
GuestREV’s competitive strengths, according to the report, is that it “can
be deployed via a thick-client SaaS for organizations looking to offload
infrastructure, but also on premise for those who want to keep their customer
data behind the firewall.” Other strong points noted include pre-built
HTNG-compliant integrations with leading PMS systems, including Agilysys
LMS and MICROS Opera, and a “very positive” customer experience with support
and implementation staff.
The
only proven casino revenue management solution that factors total guest
value into the optimization process, GuestRev was built upon established
forecasting and optimization algorithms to provide the most accurate forecasts
for different types of demand as well as optimal pricing. Demand uncertainty
is factored into each forecast and profit optimization algorithms consider
costs as well as revenues, resulting in both top- and bottom-line growth
and rapid ROI after implementation.
GuestREV
integrates with leading property management systems as well as in-house
and legacy systems.
