| Savannah, Georgia & Germantown, Tennessee � January 24, 2007 �
HLC Hotels today announced it has selected AnyRate Software to provide
competitive rate shopping reports and tools to all of its properties.
The agreement will allow AnyRate�s leading-edge competitive rate shopping
tools to become an immediate part of HLC�s enhanced revenue management
and pricing focus for 2007.
Cindy Roberts, Corporate Director of Sales & Marketing for HLC Hotels, commented that �the addition of the AnyRate tools will provide timely pricing information and support to HLC staff at the properties and in the corporate office to help ensure that our properties are competitively priced.� In looking for the right partner to provide competitive rate intelligence, Roberts noted that �it was important for us to have access to quality data in a concise set of reports that would work equally well for all the hotels in the HLC portfolio, regardless of market or price range, and AnyRate was the right provider to address those needs�.
AnyRate offers a variety of competitive rate shopping reports and tools, via both regularly scheduled reports as well as the Flash real-time rate search tool. AnyRate Flash is a true real-time search tool that conducts rate searches upon customer request, ensuring the freshest, most up-to-date rate intelligence possible. This capability prevents the issue of stale data that can be experienced when some rate shopping vendors utilize �cached� or previously archived data in their �on-demand� report tools. AnyRate Software, Inc. is a joint venture of leading hotel revenue management consultants and website technology experts resulting in the hotel industry�s most flexible, accurate, yet affordable competitive rate shopping tools. Any Rate competitive rate shopping reports are regarded by hoteliers as user friendly and very feature rich.
