Driftwood Hospitality today announced that it will continue to support
and enhance its management of pricing for their hotels with further adoption
of the AnyRate competitive rate intelligence tools in 2008. Driftwood
will expand its already successful utilization of the AnyRate reports and
tools at additional key DHM properties throughout the United States.
Rene McCann, National Revenue Manager for Driftwood Hospitality, commented that �our success in utilizing the AnyRate reporting and technology in 2007 has resulted in a further rollout of the AnyRate program to additional DHM properties in 2008.� McCann remarked that �ADR growth will continue to be a focus of Driftwood in the upcoming year, and the AnyRate program will very capably assist and support our staff in achieving our goals in this critical area.� John Romeo, President & CEO of AnyRate Software, stated that �we are extremely pleased to continue and grow our relationship and presence with an outstanding organization such as Driftwood Hospitality�. �It is rewarding to know that the AnyRate tools have played a part in their success in the past year and will continue to do so in the year ahead�. 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.
