Hello again!
We're beyond excited to introduce a transformative upgrade to FLYR's Revenue Management interface – presenting a new Pricing Page UI designed for you to transparently see how your manual price changes impact your strategy. Brace yourself for a comprehensive experience that takes your insights, flexibility, and control over your pricing strategy to new heights.
Our AI uses an array of data points to maximize your revenue, it takes into account transactional-level booking data from your PMS, local event market data, demand data, competitor rates, and more. The result? A pricing strategy that not only continuously evolves but significantly improves over time, ensuring you stay ahead in the dynamic hospitality landscape. However, we understand that there are aspects you, as a Revenue Manager, are more familiar with, or brand guidelines you want the system to follow. These may require you to interact with the prices.
💡
User Influence Matters
Recognizing the pivotal role Revenue Managers play, we've empowered you to directly shape the AI pricing strategy. Your manual price changes serve as a crucial influence, impacting the AI's future exploration of price points. Factors such as the magnitude, direction, increase or decrease, and lead time within the booking window intricately shape the AI's responsiveness to market demand.
🎨
Visual Enhancements
Prepare to be impressed as our pricing table undergoes a visual overhaul, providing unparalleled transparency into how your manual changes influence the pricing strategy. Nights influenced by manual adjustments are not only highlighted on the pricing page but also intuitively indicated in the Quick View. The color scheme intuitively signifies the level of impact, ensuring you grasp the significance at a glance.

Revert with Ease
Your control is paramount. Revert past influences seamlessly by applying the AI Price, which not only simplifies the process but also provides detailed insights into the pricing strategy post-reversion. Enjoy unparalleled flexibility with bulk price changes – effortlessly adjust individual prices or choose to revert to the original AI strategy. Simply highlight cells and use the user-friendly bulk update button for efficient adjustments.

In our ongoing mission to streamline and enhance your data analysis experience, we're rolling out some updates to the
Strategic Analytics
Explore, specifically targeting the clarity of group block statuses. This change is rooted in our commitment to making data analytics as accessible and intuitive as possible for all users.
Key Updates:
Simplified Naming Convention 📛:
To eliminate confusion and improve user experience, we've updated the names and descriptions of fields related to group block status. This ensures consistency and eases the interpretation of data across different Property Management Systems (PMS).
Renamed Fields for Enhanced Clarity 🔄:
  • "Group Status" is now "Group Deduction Status":
    This change aims to more accurately reflect the status of group blocks, whether they are deducted from inventory or not.
  • "Definite" to "Deduct":
    To clarify that these groups are confirmed and thus deducted from available inventory.
  • "Tentative" to "Non-Deduct":
    Making it clearer that these groups have not been deducted from inventory.
  • "Is Group Block (Yes/No)" to "Is Picked Up (Yes/No)":
    This update simplifies understanding whether the units or revenue within a group block have been picked up or not.
We believe these updates will significantly improve the way you interact with group block data, aiding in more efficient and effective analysis. This change is a direct result of your feedback and our dedication to continuously improving your analytics experience.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. We're excited to see how these updates will further empower your decision-making processes! 🚀

In the hospitality industry, where strategic planning and operational efficiency hinge on the accuracy of forecasts, FLYR for Hospitality is dedicated to offering the most advanced tools for our users. We're proud to incorporate Absolute Percentage Error (APE) into our forecasting toolkit 🛠️, enhancing your ability to assess and refine forecast accuracy like never before.
🎯 Introducing Absolute Percentage Error (APE)
Absolute Percentage Error is a crucial metric for evaluating the precision of forecasts by comparing the actual outcomes with predicted values. By offering a percentage-based measure of accuracy, APE simplifies the assessment of forecast performance for entire stay months, aligning perfectly with the monthly forecasting workflow prevalent in the industry.
💡 Dual Forecasts at FLYR for Hospitality: System and User Forecasts
FLYR for Hospitality provides two types of forecasts:
System Forecasts
, which leverage our data science intelligence 🧠 for automated predictions, and
User Forecasts
, derived from user inputs within the
Planning
product. With the introduction of APE, we're excited to offer the capability to critique the accuracy of these forecasts both individually and in comparison with each other, empowering users with unparalleled insight into their forecasting strategies.
🚀 Getting Started with APE
FLYR for Hospitality has developed two specialized dashboards to facilitate in-depth analysis at the property level for an individual month, focusing on key performance indicators: Occupancy, ADR (Average Daily Rate), and Revenue. These dashboards enable users to leverage APE for comprehensive forecast analysis:
  • System vs. User Forecast Accuracy Dashboard:
    Compare user-generated and system forecasts, observing the evolution of each to provide a comprehensive view of forecast performance. This dashboard is your go-to for evaluating how user inputs stack up against our data science-driven predictions, allowing for a direct comparison of forecasting accuracy.
  • Property-Level User Forecasting Assessment:
    This dashboard is specifically designed to assess the user forecast, offering insights into the overall forecast evolution and the performance of each segment within the month. It's an invaluable tool for users looking to dive deep into their own forecasting process, from the broader monthly overview down to the segment-level analysis.
Both dashboards are crafted to support detailed analyses at the property level for an individual month across each KPI 📊, enabling users to make informed decisions and strategic adjustments based on accurate, data-driven insights.
📚 Support and Resources
To help you maximize the benefits of APE in your forecasting efforts, FLYR for Hospitality provides a comprehensive suite of support resources. From a tutorial that guides you through each dashboard to FAQs designed to answer your pressing questions, we're committed to ensuring you have the knowledge and tools needed to effectively utilize APE.
We've heard your requests and are excited to deliver the Month-to-Date (MTD) dimension for
OTB Performance Comparison
. This update extends the MTD data visualization from just the Bookings field to include
OTB Performance Comparison
across both
Performance Insights
and
Strategic Analytics
Explores.
Key Updates:
  • MTD Boolean Functionality ✅:
    MTD data is now accessible in the OTB Performance Comparison, alongside the existing YTD dimension
  • Enhanced Analysis 📈:
    Leverage MTD for precise period-over-period comparisons, empowering you with the insights to make data-driven decisions quickly.
This addition, shaped by your feedback, aims to provide the tools you need for more nuanced performance tracking and analysis.
