Room Type Mapping in RevControl allows you to link room types from your PMS and competitors to your own room types, ensuring that pricing recommendations and occupancy data are processed accurately.
Room Type Mapping in RevControl helps ensure that room types from different systems, such as OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) and PMS (Property Management System), are correctly linked to room types in RevControl. This ensures accurate and consistent use of data related to pricing and occupancy in your strategy.
How does Room Type Mapping work?
For each room type in RevControl, you match the corresponding room types from your PMS and OTAs. This helps synchronize data accurately, which is crucial for precise pricing recommendations and competitor analysis.
Mapping Options:
- PMS Occupancy Room Types: This option allows you to map room types from your Property Management System (PMS) to RevControl. This ensures that occupancy data from the PMS is accurately processed in RevControl, directly affecting the forecast and pricing recommendations.
- OTA Competitor Room Types: Here, you link competitor room types from OTAs to a room type in RevControl. This mapping helps compare competitor room types correctly, improving the pricing recommendations.
- Number of Persons: With this option, you specify which competitor prices should be retrieved. This allows you to see prices for specific bookings, such as 1-person or 2-person stays, enabling accurate price comparisons based on the room capacity of competitors.
Steps to set up Room Type Mapping:
- Select Room Types: Map the correct PMS and OTA room types for each room type in RevControl. If no specific room types are selected, RevControl will use all available room types by default.
- Configure Number of Persons: Define for each room type the number of persons for which you want to retrieve prices from OTAs and competitors.
- Confirm Changes: Click on “Confirm all changes” to save your settings.
