IDeaS Reaches 10k Client Milestone
Hospitality managers across the globe are competing to see which technology tools can drive better business decisions, create new revenue opportunities and improve the guest experience.

With more than 10,000 hotel properties using IDeaS’ solutions, revenue management is now firmly rooted in the category of technology tools that are a critical function of any hotel business. In fact, IDeaS’ analytical tools gather and analyze historic and future data, competitor pricing and forward-looking market demand intelligence to make more than 1.6 million pricing decisions daily, spanning properties across six continents and more than 100 countries.
Revenue management software plays an important role in helping hoteliers understand room demand for any size hotel, whether it be one property or an estate.

They empower clients to forecast, price and report with speed and confidence, improving business performance and maximizing property value.
2017 marks a year of momentum and growth for the company that pioneered automated revenue management and continues to bring innovative solutions to more markets each day.
Leading Partnerships and Strategic Expansions
To support strategic growth, IDeaS has expanded its global partner network over the past 12 months, integrating its solutions with leaders like TravelClick's Demand360® platform, which helps clients forecast confidently by understanding future demand data. The company also partnered with nSight Travel Intelligence, giving revenue managers the ability to “futurecast” demand with predictive consumer shopping intelligence from more than 5,000 online travel sites with nSight for IDeaS.
In March 2017, IDeaS announced the acquisition of Smart Space, signaling further collaboration between revenue management and function space business. As technology continues to enable hoteliers to focus more on total hotel performance, partnerships like these will empower executives to gain a clearer picture of demand across the entire hotel enterprise.
