Rainmaker Wins Gaming & Leisure Magazine's 2011 Partner Award

G&L Recognizes revolution™ and TribalREV™ Revenue Management
Solutions that Solve Customers' 'Real Problems'




ATLANTA, GA – October 6, 2011 – The Rainmaker Group announced today that Gaming & Leisure magazine named Rainmaker a winner of the 2011 Partner Award in the Gaming and Hospitality category.  Rainmaker’s winning entries were its revolution™ profit optimization system and its TribalREVrevenue management solution.  Click here for more information on Rainmaker’s profit optimization solutions.
 
G&L bestows the Partner Award to the company that best illustrates an understanding of its clients’ real-life problems by offering products that provide appropriate solutions now and for the future.  The Rainmaker Group is the leading provider of automated revenue management (RM) software and services for gaming hotels and multifamily revenue management.  
 
Rainmaker partners with customers to deliver effective revenue management
“Rainmaker is honored to receive the Partner Award from Gaming & Leisure in the Gaming & Hospitality Award category,” said Tammy Farley, Principal with The Rainmaker Group. “Being customer centric and passionate about our relationships with our customers is a core value of our company. We are grateful to our customers and believe strongly in partnering with them to further strengthen our solutions to best meet their needs. We recognize that each market from the Las Vegas Strip, to Atlantic City and Macau has its own unique demand dynamic that our customers know best. It is the combination of their input and our attentive listening that enables Rainmaker to enrich its solutions.”
 
revolution is the only revenue management system that considers Total Customer Value when determining optimal room availability conditions and prices for casino hotel operators.  Total Customer Value includes not only hotel room revenues, but potential revenue from gaming, food and beverage, spa, and other profit centers.  revolution also factors in forecasted demand surrounding holidays and local events to recommend optimized rates for each guest segment.
 
TribalREV delivers revenue management to Native American operators
“TribalREV is an ideal example of a winning product developed through customer input,” Farley said.  “Several Native American operators told us their business plan could not accommodate hiring a property revenue manager.  We responded by offering TribalREV, which pairs the revolution system with a Rainmaker resource to perform as the property’s revenue manager.  TribalREV enables another category of customer to take advantage of our total RM solution.”
 
G&L honored Rainmaker and other Gaming and Hospitality 2011 Award winners at the 2011 G&L Roundtable, held during the G2E conference, October 2-3, 2011 at the Wynn, Las Vegas.  The roundtable provided gaming and hospitality executives the opportunity for a peer-to-peer discussion of industry issues.
