What is an RMS in hospitality?
An RMS (Revenue Management System) is a software that analyzes demand, competitor rates, and booking data to recommend the optimal price per room and date, automating decisions previously made manually by the revenue manager. Examples include IDeaS and Duetto.
How does an RMS work?
The system collects historical and real-time data on occupancy, competitor pricing, and booking patterns, applies statistical models and machine learning, and generates dynamic price recommendations. This allows daily rate adjustments without constant manual input.
What is an RMS used for and how is it different from a PMS?
It is used to maximize revenue per available room through dynamic pricing, while a PMS (Property Management System) handles daily operations like check-ins and housekeeping. An RMS focuses on pricing strategy and profitability, not operational logistics.
