Lack of comprehensive data analysis
The absence of a centralized system poses a significant challenge to hoteliers when it comes to analyzing data comprehensively. They face a difficult task in making informed decisions that can accelerate business growth.

This can lead to a loss of potential revenue and negatively impact the hotel’s overall profitability.

Difficulty in inventory and allotment management
Managing static allotments, which refers to a specific number of rooms or units allocated to a particular touroperator contract, can be a complex task. It involves closely monitoring occupancy levels and making adjustments to inventory for dynamic rates. This process requires a high level of attention to detail and accuracy to avoid errors that could result in overbooking or underbooking of rooms, leading to dissatisfied customers and potential financial losses for the business.

These requirements can vary from the number of rooms allocated to the hotel, minimum length of stay, preferred room types, pricing, and cancellation policies, among others. As a result, it can be challenging for hoteliers to efficiently adapt and manage these diverse contracts, which can impact their revenue and profitability.

Lack of integration with other hotel segments

By integrating and sharing this data across various departments within the hotel, there is potential to unlock valuable insights and drive more impactful decision-making.
