Trust International has introduced Voyager|CRS Complete Rate programme to automate rate maintenance for hotels.

The new offering supports hotel companies’ wide array of strategies - control or adjust contracted and public flexible rates in the central reservation system (CRS); and disseminates them to the various distribution systems.

“We allow all derivative rates to be generated from the best available rate, lowest available rate (LAR), or a rate of their choice for all channels,” said Richard, Wiegmann, COO and managing director of Trust International. “Our system enables our hotel customers to set up their derivative rate strategies and then we automatically maintain all the rates for them, which significantly reduces their rate maintenance costs.”

According to the company, there are numerous ways in which rates can be structured and linked to reduce maintenance effort.

For example: A hotel is able to link all of its rates using a flat amount or percentage to a single set rate such as a BAR or LAR, or perhaps link them to a rate that is recommended by a revenue management system (RMS) or to the lowest public rate for each day. This way, by simply adjusting that single rate, Trust’s system automatically adjusts all the linked rates using the hotel’s proprietary rate strategies, streamlining it at the daily operational level for the hotel staff.
