Dec 2, 2021Price Optimizer Update

price-optimizer-update

Christmas is coming soon, but new features are already here. Today we would like to show you exciting new features available on Price Optimizer & CRS:

  • Multiple Occupancy on Price Control

  • Children Prices per Room Category

  • Flexible Rate Plan Visibility

  • User Roles for Stop Sell

Multiple Occupancy on Price Control

On Price Control, only one Pax price was visible at a time (1P, 2P, up to 10P). We realized this made it difficult to compare prices. Not anymore.

Now you can select multiple Pax at once (Up to 12P) and Price Control will dynamically display them – making it easier to observe & adjust prices effectively.

You may have noticed we moved all the top Price Control buttons into a left panel. This is so that all buttons remain static while scrolling and you can make changes, select/deselect Pax quickly.
In the Hotel Configuration page, you can set the default number of people pre-selected and max number of people visible on the Price Control page.

Children Prices per Room Category

We added a new option in Children Prices tab on CRS (Quoting Screen) that allows you to apply different price formulas for children including per room type.
Plus the ability to copy and sort formulas. Please note that the order of the formulas is important. As there can be an overlap of rules, Formula #1 is given priority, followed by #2 and so on. Therefore, you must first configure the exceptions and then the general rules.

Flexible Rate Plan Visibility

Flexible display mode added to Rate Plan tab on CRS (Quoting Screen).

  1. Rate Plan Carousel Display Mode

  2. New: Rate Plan Dropdown Visibility

User Roles for Stop Sell

In recent times, we added a number of new User Roles for Price Optimizer & CRS. Today we extend those roles to include the Stop Sell feature.

Admin user:  Full control of Stop Sell

Normal user:  Full control of Stop Sell (default)

Read-only user:  Cannot make any changes on Stop Sell

Here is the table below with a full recap of PO & CRS roles, where it is possible to have different roles for each solution.
