Making Magic with Technology

The author and inventor Arthur C. Clarke was not only a visionary through his science fiction writings. He also made some highly perceptive observations on the nature of technology in the real world. One of the most often quoted of Clarke’s observations is captured as his Third Law which states that “Any sufficiently advanced technology should be indistinguishable from magic.”
In the world of hotel distribution technology it can be all too difficult to see where the magical part is. The proliferation of channels, control points and data sets creates layers of complexity which multiply several times when interfacing, integration or productivity tracking are attempted.
As we continue the quest for technology that satisfies the promise of magic we can be guided by our own laws which help to point us in the right direction:
Rule 1 – Technology should support and facilitate the distribution strategy, not dictate it
The easiest mistake to make when evaluating a technology solution is to assume that it will do everything you want and fit perfectly in to your existing operations and business processes. There is no more frustrating form of buyer’s remorse than that which results from the discovery that a shiny new technology solution places limits on the way your distribution works or requires wholesale changes in business process in order to be effective. It’s fine to change procedures to fit the technology you use; it’s not fine for the technology to limit your tactics or strategies. In the world of distribution management, it’s easy to be distracted by technicalities such as XML formats or the type of API a channel has when the primary consideration should be whether the channel will deliver incremental business.
Rule 2 – Technology should be reliable, easy to use and cost-effective
Even though these three elements are apparently fundamental it is surprising how often a hotel will continue to struggle with out-dated or badly designed technology. The thought process could be described as “some automation is better than none”. In reality, if it’s bad automation, the reverse is usually true.
Rule 3 – Make sure the ROI is clear
It can be notoriously difficult to determine the potential return on an investment in technology, especially in a niche as complicated as hotel distribution. To begin with, there are usually multiple options. In channel management, for example, there is no shortage of providers with long lists of features and functionality and access to every obscure channel of distribution you could ever wish for. Is that magical? No, because unless the features and functions are relevant to your requirements and unless the channels they connect to are the ones that can create business for your hotel, the rest is simply noise.
The real question to be answered in assessing return on investment is “will this technology help me to generate more business?” In its basic form, distribution is about generating revenue and every piece of technology should make a contribution to that objective. Returning to the channel management example, it’s not enough to provide automation, however advanced or sophisticated that automation might be. The real differentiator is the ability of the features and functions and channels and interfaces and analytics and automation provided by the technology to deliver more revenue.
Extending our consideration of ROI a little further, in the modern world of hotel distribution the path from booker to hotel can often be a convoluted one and can have multiple technology steps, some of which are visible and controllable, others maybe less so. A shorter path should create the possibility of a lower overall cost of sale and so we should look for technology that enables us to remove expensive intermediaries. The options for automating and controlling distribution which existed ten years ago were relatively limited in comparison to today and yet those old models are still widely used, even though there are more flexible and cheaper alternatives available.
Looking again at the specifics of channel management it is now perfectly possible to deploy technology which meets the objectives set out by our rules and which simplifies the multiple layers of complexity. Channel management has evolved beyond simple automation and now provides enough sophistication, ease of use and ROI to be considered as a complete distribution management solution. As the proliferation of channels continues, and as the necessities of keeping distribution costs under control and optimizing revenue become even more critical, placing the right technology solution at the centre of the distribution picture can deliver measurable benefits.
Using a commonly applicable set of assumptions regarding types of channels, productivity, rates and yield management objectives RateGain has calculated that correctly deployed distribution management technology can deliver room revenue gains measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of a year for a typical hotel. The specifics can vary with circumstances but the overall message is clear: if we use the rules and make sure the technology is doing what it should, the path to magic should not be far away.
Keeping tabs: getting to grips with room rates
047 days
Choosing a hotel for a trip can be a daunting – and confusing – task. If travellers really want to compare different options across both direct and indirect channels they might find themselves with a very long list. 
So, a room on a hotel’s site and on a particular online travel agent’s (OTA) site may offer a similar room rate but what you get for that can vary significantly. A hotel’s site, for example, might offer you free Internet and breakfast while a booking made through the OTA will mean an in-destination attraction coupon. Then there may be a much cheaper deal for the same hotel on a mobile exclusive channel.
While this can be frustrating for the traveller, it is also challenging for brands to track what the competition is doing. From a distribution perspective, a hotel can guarantee the best rate, but it still might be missing out on the trick that is driving potential customers to other sites or channel.
A question of values
According Vishal Jain, chief product officer at travel technology company RateGain over the past year it has become increasingly complex to assess competitiveness.
Why? Because value is different for each customer or segment. For this reason it is very important for firms to benchmark their value competitiveness correctly, he says. The way to measure value is by understanding purchasing patterns by each segment of both your own and your competitors’ customers.
Often suppliers and intermediaries get stuck comparing apples with apples. For example: ‘my standard room-only rate needs to be compared to the competition’s standard room-only rate otherwise it is not true benchmarking. “That might be correct from an operational standpoint but we need to be cognisant of the fact that the consumer may not be thinking of the apple in that way,” says Jain. “They are looking at their own budgets and then trying to seek a choice that provides the maximum value within that range.”
This is what Jain calls the rate-range view or the price-bucket view. ”Here you can define different bucket ranges and then compare what you are offering within each bucket and what your competition is offering in the same bucket,” he explains. This can reveal many insights into the creative ways the competition is packaging its offering to deliver a higher value to the customer. It can also move the buckets within the market segments and open up newer segments.
Setting a benchmark for last-minute deal
In this increasingly complex world of distribution a growing trend is to offer last-minute exclusive deals to third-party mobile platforms. Some hotel executives believe this undermines the value proposition of brand.com and other partner channels. They argue that just because a customer is booking last minute via a mobile device doesn’t mean that they should be given exclusive deals.
So hotels need to focus on forecasting accurately and building their base business well ahead of arrival dates to reduce dependency on last-minute deals and price-cuts. Also, look at offering rate and value parity across all channels. If you do want to try an exclusive mobile rate or offer, then it should also be available on all other channels.
In a recent interview with EyeforTravel.com, mobile app Hotel Tonight pointed out that if rates are properly matched and targeted at particular bookers then different rates will not bias one platform over another.
Hotels and intermediaries need to be aware of the unpredictability of certain channels to work out their own plans. Even OTAs are requesting mobile-exclusive, same-day rates that appear every day and offer a percentage off the rates displayed on their standard online site. New options mean tracking of room rates, and when and what is being offered at a particular price point has to understood as well. All players, be they hotels or intermediaries, need to be up to date with these offerings.
“Mobile only channels are growing aggressively, so now you have a completely new channel which has emerged as competition which wasn’t even around a short time ago,” says Jain. This means firms must continuously update their compsets [a set of competitors that hotels use as a basis for competitor benchmarking] to ensure they are not caught unaware.
As Jain points out, a new competitor can appear while you are still trying to assess the last one. But it is not just emerging channels that brands have to stay on top of, they must also understand how to compete with the offerings that new and existing players keep coming up with.
Hotel Pricing and Parity Analysis for the APAC Region

2013 – RateGain, The Leading hospitality technology company, released this week’s Hotel Pricing Trends and Hotel Rate Parity report. A single window BI dashboard, which enables revenue professionals on cheapest rate visibility, tracking hotel rate parity along with median rate for three (3) months of three, four and five star hotel category across some of the major cities in APAC region. Data range spans across February to April 2013, starting from the second week of February (all rates in US dollars and for two adults on one-night stay) Performance Facts: In Price Trends report Rate trends over the next three months show minimal variations in most locations. One exception is Phuket, where rates in all hotel categories are trending downwards from March to May. Singapore shows some rate decline in the 4 and 5-star categories but conversely the 3-star rates increase in May and the average value of minimum rates is higher in Singapore than in other locations reflecting the nature of the local marketplace. The widest range of rates (shown by the difference between minimum and median numbers) is seen in Hong Kong where rates range from a low of $95 to a median value of $340 for 5-star hotels.

In Parity Trend report Across all star categories the highest levels of rate parity between hotel websites and OTAs are seen in Delhi, Beijing and Shanghai. More than 10% of 4-star hotels measured in Hong Kong, Mumbai and Penang also maintained parity. However, in almost every sample the largest proportion of the cheapest rates was to be found on the OTA sites: 5-star hotel rates sampled in Bali and Penang were all found to be lower on the OTAs. When rates are consistently lower on OTAs this tends to reinforce consumer behaviour in the direction of finding the cheapest rate; hotels may choose to change the balance and take more control by identifying overall distribution costs and by finding ways to differentiate the products they offer through their websites.
