Our developers have been on a roll and added these nice features for you in release 3.7:


Business on the Books

In the comparison reports you can now select to show only monthly totals. Switch to 'period totals only' to activate.




Because when comparing to Budget not only Revenue is interessting we have added the columns Budget Room Nights, Budget ADR en Budget RevPARto the Business on the Books reports. You can select these columns in the selection box at the top of the page or add them to the default columns in the Hotel Settings.





BOB last year

The Compare History BOB report shows the BOB at the same point in time last year. Because we can only start saving up this data from the moment the interface is switched on this information is not available for newly started hotels. Until now. We have added the possibility to calculate the historical Business on the Books data from the reservation information we receive through the interface with the PMS so Compare History BOB can be used from day 1. This is available for hotels using MEWS now, and other PMS (with XML interface) will follow soon. Should you want to activate this, please contact our support department.


Competitor Index

Hotel can now be switch off for the calculation of the Competitor Based Rate calculation for weekdays only, weekend days only or both.




Competition Rate History

Is now available in list-view as well. Switch to 'table' to activate:



Minimum Length of Stay

If you have set Minimum Length of Stay restrictions in the Business Rules, RevControl can now take the occupancy of the preceding or following (or both) into consideration when recommending a MinLos restiction.


If the previous or next day is fully booked RevControl will not recommend a MinLoS. If a MinLoS is active and the previous/next day becomes fully booked RevControl will remove the MinLoS. If a MinLoS of 4 is active, and the 4th day becomes fully booked RevControl will change the MinLoS to 3.


These settings can be found in Hotel Settings/Rate Recommendation:



Business Rules

For the correct calculation of the Occupancy Based Resommended Rate it is important that the Business Rules are filled out for at least a year in advance. If this is not the case you will now see an alert on the Dashboard with a link to the respective Business Rule so you can fill out the missing information.



Monthly Report

The Monthly Report contains an overview of the competitors rates on the day of arrival for each day of the month. If a hotel was fully booked there was an empty field. From now on RevControl will show the last known rate for these days (from before the hotel was fully booked).
