Chicago/London (February 23, 2009) � Ramada Jarvis Hotels
has signed a global agreement with TravelCLICK,
the leader in hotel ecommerce solutions, to implement RateVIEW
Enterprise in 38 of its hotels throughout the United Kingdom. RateVIEW
Enterprise is the industry�s first rate intelligence and management solution
designed specifically to meet the needs of multi-property hotel companies.
Ramada Jarvis joins a growing list of leading brands and independent hotels
worldwide that are leveraging TravelCLICK�s business intelligence tools
to improve decision-making, expedite competitive response time, and enhance
cross-portfolio efficiencies.
�In today�s dynamic marketplace, it is more crucial than ever to understand
our portfolio�s strengths and weaknesses,� said Chris Martin, Director
of Revenue & Distribution of Ramada Jarvis Hotels. �With RateVIEW Enterprise,
we get more than data�we get information that fuels action. It provides
in-depth analysis of our pricing intelligence questions that in the past
required a team of hands-on revenue management specialists to handle.
Now we have answers fast, and can act fast.�
RateVIEW Enterprise will enable Ramada Jarvis Hotels to manage pricing
strategies across its organization with minimal resources and maximum revenue
performance. Among its key features are:
-
Rule-based management to automate custom rules for managing corporate pricing
strategies and best practices
-
Grouping of properties by county, region, or market to quickly and easily
identify changes to price positions in all markets
-
Interactive views to manipulate rate intelligence data anywhere, anytime,
without having to download to view
-
Personalised on-screen reporting that presents data in a way that makes
decision-making easy
RateVIEW Enterprise will also offer Ramada Jarvis Hotels the key advantage
of facilitating central management, according to Martin. �Instead
of reviewing 38 separate reports from each of our hotels, we can isolate
the hotels that have competitive issues�and focus on identifying opportunities
for bringing them to top revenue performance,� said Martin.
.
The previous product used by the hotel group did not have the ability
to manage intelligence across multiple properties and often provided cached
pricing data, but RateVIEW Enterprise allows Ramada Jarvis to access virtually
real-time competitive pricing intelligence 24 hours a day, so decisions
can be based on a fresh, accurate assessment of the market.
�Changes in online consumer shopping have created new revenue strategy
challenges for hotel companies who need to be increasingly agile in managing
across multiple market environments,� said Jan Tissera, President of TravelCLICK
International. �In choosing RateVIEW Enterprise, Ramada Jarvis Hotels can
compare pricing and performance at the property and corporate levels--and
execute revenue management strategies that respond to market changes quickly
and easily so they can maximize their profitability in any kind of economy.�
TravelCLICK provides hotel
Internet marketing, online
room reservations, and Web
booking engines as well as other many other online services to hotel
operators.
