Frankfurt, Germany, September 22, 2009 � Trust International has added
the IDeaS Revenue Optimization Best Available Rate functionality to its
Revenue Management System interface to help hotels maximize their yield
by recommending optimal rates. WORLDHOTELS with their affiliate hotel Grand
Elysee Hamburg became one of the first hotels to use the IDeaS Best Available
Rate recommendations on Trust�s centralized reservation system, Voyager|CRS.
�It is critical for our partner hotels to accurately price inventory,
taking into account future demand and competition,� said Robert Hornman,
Vice President EMEA & Worldwide Sales, Marketing and Distribution of
WORLDHOTELS. �The rate recommendations streamline the pricing for
our partner hotels based on proven formulas. This eliminates all the tedious
research and manual data entry required previously and takes a lot of the
guesswork out of the process. At the same time, the IDeaS V5i revenue management
solution ensures the optimal revenue for our hotels. The functionality
has already significantly increased revenue for the Grand Elysee and further
strengthens our recommendations to affiliate hotels to employ the winning
combination of the IDeaS V5i interface and the Voyager|CRS.�
�Revenue management is one of our top priorities so we are continually
upgrading our Revenue Management System interfaces. We are also developing
existing relationships and deploying sophisticated functionalities to save
hotel groups additional time, money and manpower,� said Richard Wiegmann,
COO & Managing Director of Trust International. �The introduction of
IDeaS Best Available Rate to our interface provides enhanced revenue management
for the chains and properties, thus improving their profitability by offering
the right price for the specific period while maximizing the yield.�
