Export setup

The Export Setup in RevControl allows you to effectively manage price differences between various room types. For each room type, you can set a supplement as either a percentage or a fixed amount. This makes it possible to offer larger or better-equipped rooms at higher prices, while less popular rooms can be offered at lower prices.

How does the Export Setup work?

• Entering supplements: For each room type, you can enter a supplement as a percentage or a fixed amount. For example, a SUP room can be 40% more expensive than a STD room, while a DLX room can have a supplement of €20.00. You set this directly in RevControl.
• Setting discounts: In addition to price increases, you can also set discounts. For example, if a Single Room is 5% cheaper than a Double Room, you enter a negative supplement.
• Multiple base room types: It is possible to have multiple base room types. This allows you to cluster room types with similar market demand. As a result, you only need to enter the strategy once per cluster, saving time and ensuring consistency.

Where can you find the Export Setup?

You can manage the Export Setup via Settings > Mapping > Export Setup in RevControl.
