79. 2:57trusted by giants like Hilton and
80. 2:59Radisson. The system shines in three key
81. 3:02areas. Group pricing analysts that tell

97. 3:39eye, RoomPriceGenie.

139. 5:15First, they've got this unique no win,
140. 5:17no pay approach. You only pay when your

159. 6:01the details are in the description
160. 6:02below. If simplicity is what you need,
161. 6:05Smart Pricing is the perfect choice.
162. 6:07What's useful about this one is how it
163. 6:09tackles revenue management differently.
164. 6:12Instead of overwhelming you with complex
165. 6:13features, it focuses on two things that
166. 6:16really matter. One, it watches your
167. 6:18market 24/7 and automatically updates
168. 6:21your prices based on what's actually
169. 6:22happening in your area. Their secret
170. 6:24sauce? The platform combines your
171. 6:27occupancy data with local events and
172. 6:29seasonal trends, so you're always priced
173. 6:31right, even when you're sleeping. Two,
174. 6:34hotels are reporting significant revenue
175. 6:36jumps without having to constantly
176. 6:38tinker with their rates.
177. 6:39It's becoming a go-to choice for smaller
178. 6:41properties, especially B&Bs and
179. 6:43boutiques with under 75 rooms. And
180. 6:46here's a nice bonus. Users say you can
181. 6:49literally set it up in minutes, not
182. 6:51days. Time to talk about Beonx. This one
183. 6:54takes a different angle on pricing.
184. 6:56They've developed something called the
185. 6:58Hotel Quality Index that factors in what
186. 7:01your guests actually think about their
187. 7:02stay. Pretty practical when you think
188. 7:04about it. Your rates should reflect the
189. 7:06real experiences you're offering. Their
190. 7:08AI does two things particularly well. It
191. 7:11spots trends in your booking patterns
192. 7:13and turns complex market data to clear
193. 7:15recommendations. Hotels using the system
194. 7:17tell us that they're finding new revenue
195. 7:19opportunities they were completely
196. 7:21missing before. It's particularly strong
197. 7:23for larger properties, especially in the
198. 7:25city centers and luxury hotels with 75
199. 7:28plus rooms. While they started in Spain
200. 7:30and Mexico, they're expanding quickly as
201. 7:32more hotels look for data-driven pricing
202. 7:35solutions. So, let's dive into something
203. 7:37exciting in the revenue tech space,
204. 7:39Flyer Hospitality.
205. 7:41What's interesting about Flyer is how
206. 7:43far ahead they can plan.
207. 7:45We're talking about two years of
208. 7:47optimized pricing.
209. 7:49Think about it. While most hotels are
210. 7:51figuring out next month's rates, Flyer
211. 7:54users are already optimizing their
212. 7:55pricing for future seasons and events.
213. 7:58Their system does two impressive things.
214. 8:00First, it handles complex group pricing
215. 8:02automatically, saving hours of
216. 8:04cancellations.
217. 8:06And second, it gives you these really
218. 8:08clean, customizable dashboards that make
219. 8:10tracking performance actually enjoyable.

221. 8:14city center hotels with 25 to 74 rooms,
222. 8:18particularly across France, the UK, and
223. 8:21the US. From what users tell us, it's
224. 8:23especially good if you want to spend
225. 8:25less time crunching numbers and more
226. 8:26time on strategy. Rounding out our list,
227. 8:29there's a rising star worth mentioning,
