Unfortunately, many of today�s most commonly utilized rate shopping reports in the industry are quite burdensome and very expensive.

Problem 1:   Tree Killers - A hotel rate shopping report 40 to 50 pages is too long:

It almost goes without saying � why read a 40-50 page report, when the primary information needed can be covered in a 3-5 page report. The most-used rate shopper reports of today take about a quarter of ream of paper to print and use a lot of toner (an additional $4 cost to print one report!). 

Problem 2:   Confusing � Due to the elaborate nature of rate shopping reports, understanding them can be difficult.

The reports of today should be clear and concise to suit the busy, competitive environment of today�s GM, DOS, Revenue and Reservation managers.

Problem 3:  Source of Rates - The GDS

Traditional rate shopping reports have focused heavily on GDS, but not on Online distribution channels.  A hotel in today�s Online environment can make better decisions if their rate shopping tool can shop ANY hotel website, ANY online travel website and ANY section of the GDS. 

Problem 4:  Price � Rate shopping reports are traditionally very expensive

Technology has advanced rapidly and the cost of producing such reports has also dropped just as quickly.  Did your technology company pass on the cost savings to your hotel ?
