Overview


In the dynamic hospitality landscape, managing room availability and optimizing revenue are paramount. Property Connector's Auto Closure Threshold empowers Revenue Managers to strategically control room distribution, ensuring that every available room is sold at the most profitable rate.


The Auto Closure threshold feature can be conveniently configured and Managers can make instant adjustments to Auto Closure Thresholds for specific dates or apply bulk updates across extended periods. This provides you with complete transparency and control over your inventory. 


What is the benefit of Auto Closure threshold?

  • Dynamic Revenue Optimization: Capture every high-value booking. Auto Closure Threshold automatically closes lower-rate plans as availability decreases, ensuring you prioritize premium bookings and maximize revenue per available room.
  • Strategic Availability Control: Prevent last-minute low-rate bookings that undercut your revenue potential. Auto Closure Threshold gives you precise control over when to stop selling lower-tier rates, safeguarding your profitability.

  • Automated Efficiency & Reduced Risk: Eliminate manual rate adjustments and the risk of overselling. Auto Closure Threshold automates the closure of rate plans, freeing up your team to focus on strategic sales and guest satisfaction.

  • Enhanced Pricing Flexibility: Adapt to real-time demand fluctuations. Auto Closure Threshold allows you to set custom thresholds, enabling you to dynamically adjust your pricing strategy and capitalize on peak demand.

  • Improved Guest Booking Experience: Avoid guest disappointment and maintain booking integrity. Auto Closure Threshold ensures that only genuinely available rooms are offered, fostering trust and enhancing the guest experience.
  • Easy to understand Examples: Clear examples show how the system automatically closes rate plans based on your pre-defined thresholds.
