Pioneering RMS wins Premier Inn for Amadeus
Premier Inn, Amadeus’ largest RMS implementation to date with roll out across 556 hotels, increases the number of hotels using Amadeus RMS by close to 50% to 1,450 hotels
The system chosen by Premier Inn automatically monitors every booking made at a property. Feeding reservation history through Amadeus’ advanced algorithms, the RMS can predict not only the number of guests who will want to book on any given day, but also how long they will want to stay. As a result, hoteliers can now choose between a guest booking today for a short stay or the guest who will book tomorrow but stay for longer.
“After four years in research and development, our system is now so accurate that hoteliers can keep rooms free with confidence, knowing that longer-stay guests will book the same room a day later,” said Bernard Rannou, head of development, Hospitality Business Group, Amadeus. “We are delighted that our new system has been chosen by Premier Inn to improve their already excellent occupancy, enabling them to book more guests over shoulder nights, while reducing marginal costs. I am pleased to report that implementation across 556 properties is already successfully underway.”
“We wanted a revenue management system that could cope with the unique requirements of our business,” commented Warren Mandelbaum, Head of Revenue Management, Whitbread Hotels & Restaurants. “We are very pleased with the way in which Amadeus have created a bespoke solution for us, with a great user interface and the scalability to extend its deployment as required. This new tool better positions us to fully optimize the value of our properties, while its statistical reports offer crucial business insights.”
