It uses field-tested algorithms to provide scientific and flexible group-pricing recommendations attuned to competitors and anticipated market conditions (and incorporates event space and price policy rules).

Revcaster®: Revcaster uses advanced business intelligence to help hotels raise profits.An integrated price comparison component, Revcaster helps hoteliers monitor parity, maximize ADR, and increase earnings.
