Our take
Setting and managing room rates is a constant headache for small and medium-sized hotels. Even slight pricing errors can make the difference between profit and loss, and without expert knowledge, they're often left navigating this crucial aspect of their business blindfolded.
RoomPriceGenie's solution simplifies this process by providing an automated pricing system that leverages data analysis to optimise rates. By analysing data from up to 500 nearby properties, it allows hotel managers, even those without prior experience in price management systems, to make informed decisions and maximise revenue.
Recognising the potential of RoomPriceGenie, BADideas.fund invested heavily in the company. This vote of confidence, coupled with the company's global ambitions, arms it with the chance to capture a significant market share and revolutionise the way small and medium-sized hotels approach pricing.
