🚀 Level up your restrictions strategy with custom buckets!

We are thrilled to introduce Custom Rate Bucketing, designed to make your restriction management more seamless and intuitive than ever.

Custom Bucketing gives your team an efficient, streamlined way to manually manage restrictions, while letting our recommendation engine continue to optimize individual rate plans for maximum yield. Enjoy clear, at-a-glance visibility into your property's restriction status and a smarter way to yield your business!

😍 Why You'll Love This

Fully customizable:
Create and arrange buckets according to your specific yielding workflows. Whether your strategy is driven by channel (like grouping all OTAs together), cancellation policy (Non-Refundable vs. Flexible), offer type (Packages vs. Discounts), you can build custom buckets that perfectly mirror how you think about your business
Instant clarity:
The all-new, bucket-level overview in Optimization bucket-level overview provides a clean, top-down summary so you can instantly gauge how restricted any day is without digging into the details (unless you want to!). With your restrictions now in the Quick View, side-by-side with your performance charts and market data, you can evaluate and apply restrictions and restriction recommendations more confidently than ever!
Quick configuration
: Use our one-click configuration to easily set up your custom bucket structure, then assign rate plans in bulk with drag and drop or copy and paste actions. Better yet, rate plan assignment can be seamlessly applied to any or all properties within your property group with a single action, scaling your successful strategies effortlessly

💡 What's New

Custom Rate Buckets:
You now have the flexibility to group your rate codes into a custom bucket structure based on your unique yielding strategy
At-a-Glance Overview Tab:
The Optimize calendar features an all-new bucket-level view that provides a visual breakdown of your bucket statuses across your property or inventories.
Expanded Quick View:
We've removed the hidden right-click action to view restrictions. Now, simply open the updated Quick View to see your active restrictions, system recommendations, and performance charts all side-by-side

Inheritable Restrictions:
Any new rate codes added to a bucket will automatically inherit that bucket's active restrictions

🔄 What's Changing

Simplified Configuration:

Segments and Buckets are now managed directly within the Rate Plans configuration screen

Bucket-level Classifications:
You no longer need to assign restriction classifications (Yieldable, Base Rate Parity, or Non-Yieldable) to individual rate plans. This value is set once for each bucket and applies to all assigned rate plans
Seamless Setup:
Property groups already enabled for restrictions have been automatically migrated to the new bucket structure. All other property groups now have access to an easy, one-click configuration process in Settings.
