Joining us in our Partner Showcase series is FLYR, the all-in-one revenue platform of choice for the most innovative brands in the travel industry. We chatted to the team to find out what sets FLYR apart, the services they offer and how those services can boost your revenue-generating potential with automated tools that work in real-time.
Tell us more about FLYR
FLYR is the new leader in revenue management technology; our award-winning revenue platform features a high-frequency pricing engine that has a demonstrable advantage in forecasting accuracy, unparalleled and customisable business intelligence and allows you full strategic control through an intuitive app.
What services do you provide for hospitality operators?
FLYR continuously adapts your pricing strategies to maximise your revenues. Real-time, automated, price optimisation. FLYR takes automated pricing decisions for its customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Adaptive strategies - for every night
FLYR adapts its pricing strategy for every night based on past performance and real-time pick-up. This way, it uniquely tailors its strategy to each night to maximise revenue.
Automated and continuous pricing
FLYR was built with automation in mind. This means that FLYR will always update the price when necessary and continuously explore the market's willingness to pay.
Understand your pricing
FLYR enables you to drill into every price update and every booking. There's full transparency on how your business is performing and how the FLYR pricing system is making its decisions.
What sets FLYR apart?
- Easy to use - the FLYR platform is designed to be intuitive to accommodate a range of different users. We understand that not all properties are experienced with revenue management, so we built a tool that is simple and user-friendly, with an intuitive dashboard that allows any user to manage their pricing independently and without the need for a manual.
- Rapid implementation - with FLYR, you can get up and running in minutes not months. Our two-way integration with RMS Cloud along with our algorithmic focus on primary data rather than historical data means you can switch on FLYR's dynamic pricing in any property immediately.
- Handles complex inventory mix - FLYR is the market-leading Revenue Platform for hybrids. Six out of the top 10 hybrid brands in the world have already chosen FLYR for its unique multi-product and hybrid-native optimisation and insights. Unlike most other revenue management systems, FLYR allows you to easily handle a complex inventory mix; from room types to stays, FLYR allows you to flex around your property needs.
How can RMS Cloud customers benefit from integrating with FLYR?
Our pricing is based on our industry-leading algorithm and machine learning which will transform your revenue - from ADR to occupancy to RevPar. With automation, you can focus on what’s important instead of wasting time changing prices/generating reports and growing your business with fewer resources.
There’s a lot more to revenue management than pricing. For hoteliers, the opportunities lie in business mix, ancillary revenue, lifetime value and plenty more beyond pricing. We get that. It’s one of the reasons why we are the platform of choice for some of the top brands in the world.
RMS clients can also benefit from the first native business intelligence platform for hospitality - FLYR Analytics. Unlocking the value of data is a challenge for revenue teams, but FLYR Analytics makes this easy with its modern interface and transactional-level data. We enable you to analyse your data in your own way.
Check out our case study with Saltwater Hotels & Resorts, a mutual client who reported that "the two-way integration with RMS Cloud meant that we could switch things on immediately and the rollout was smooth.”
