Dynamic Pricing
Set up rate adjustment rules based on occupancy or time in RMS.
Dynamic Pricing is a feature available on a Rate Table that automatically adjusts the rate amount based on occupancy and time rules in RMS.
Adjustments can be set as a positive or negative flat amount or percentage adjustment, or an alternate Rate Table can be used once the criteria are met. Dynamic Pricing rules can be based on an occupancy percentage, lead time to arrival, or a combination of both.
The occupancy percentage used for dynamic pricing is determined by the Occupancy Calculation Rule option set up on the property. It can be based on the category occupancy or overall property occupancy.
Fluctuations in reported revenue due to dynamic pricing adjustments can be tracked using the Dynamic Pricing Profit/Loss Summary report, with applied adjustments visible in the Total Rate Breakdown on a reservation.
Derived Rates set up to calculate from a standalone rate that includes dynamic pricing rules will be calculated using the linked rate's base rate plus dynamic pricing adjustment to determine the derived rate amount.
