Partnering with CRS Bookings makes it possible for REVPAR GURU to deliver a revenue management solution, along with a sophisticated booking engine product, complete with consortia management, GDS connectivity, booking engine integration and customization, and a direct booking portal via Facebook. Working together, the two companies have created a "one-stop shop" solution for hotel owners and general managers seeking to maximize their occupancy percentages and RevPAR figures.

This pricing structure, coupled with the cross-promotional initiatives accompanying the partnership, provides both companies, as well as their hotel clients worldwide, with significant financial advantages.

The use of sophisticated, automated revenue management systems to manage rates and pricing is on the rise as hotels around the world continue to search for ways to optimize their revenue per available room. REVPAR GURU has distinguished itself as a leader in this field, in part because of its strong partnerships with prominent sales channels. Its revenue management systems-based on dynamic pricing algorithms that incorporate competitors' rates, availability and real-time demand-allow hotels to adjust their pricing automatically in response to real-time supply and demand changes across multiple sales channels. For many hotels still reliant on traditional static pricing structures, this advantage represents a significant bottom-line edge in their competitive set.
