We are excited to introduce Automated Pricing Classification, a major enhancement designed to streamline your setup process, improve classification accuracy, and significantly reduce manual effort in managing your rate plans.
💡
What’s New
Rate plans are now automatically classified as
Dynamic
,
Fixed
,
Group Dynamic
, or
Group Fixed
leveraging data directly from your PMS, specifically derived rate plan relationships and group blocks received against your reservations.
  • Dynamic
    vs.
    Fixed
    - determined by the rate plan derived relationship to your dynamic pricing strategy. Rate Plans will be classified as
    Dynamic
    if directly priced via FLYR or if the PMS data indicates it is derived from a FLYR priced rate; all other rate plans will be classified as
    Fixed
    .
  • Group
    - identified using group information received at reservation level. If a rate plan is predominantly used for group bookings, it will be classified as Group (Dynamic or Fixed based on its pricing structure).

Full Control with Manual Overrides
Automation handles the heavy lifting, but you remain in full control. Review and adjust classifications anytime in Settings → Rate Plans screen to align with your strategy.
  • User override indicator
    - a user icon (👤) is displayed next to any rate plan whose classification has been manually overridden by a user.
  • FLYR recommendation
    - when opening the classification selector, a sparkle icon (✨) icon highlights the classification currently recommended by the FLYR based on your PMS data.

Workflow Integration
This automation is fully integrated into key parts of the application to provide you with consistent context:
  • Quick View
    - the Price Evolution tab in Quick View now reflects the new automated classification, providing updated context for price movement analysis.
  • Restrictions
    - the rate plan selector now displays the automated classification, helping ensure alignment when setting manual restrictions.
  • Insights
    - classifications are now reflected across analytics and dashboards for improved data consistency.

📝 Important Notes
  • Data Migration
    - to prevent any data loss and ensure continuity, all of your existing rate plan classifications have been successfully migrated to the new automated pricing classification structure.
  • You remain in control
    - all automated classifications can still be manually overridden at any time.
  • Review
    - while we ensure automation, we recommend reviewing your classifications, particularly in cases involving rate plan deviations and non-standard PMS group usage.
  • More information

Why It Matters
  • Accurate classification
    - classifications now mirror your PMS setup automatically, reducing errors and manual updates.
  • Faster onboarding
    - new rate plans are categorized automatically within hours, dramatically speeding up the onboarding and setup process.
  • Smarter pricing decisions
    - more precise demand signals help FLYR optimize prices with greater confidence.
  • Time back to focus on strategy
    - automation handles the setup so you can spend more time on strategy, not configuration.
