Our software is designed for the unique hospitality industry, offering exceptional multi-unit and multi-brand versatility. We deliver the only true revenue forecasting tool on the market. Other black box solutions don’t reveal true performance details, but our software ensures you stay hands-on and involved. Rather than replace the Revenue Manager, we enhance their role, improving efficiency and effectiveness within any sized establishment. Simplify and strengthen your hotel forecasting, revenue and labor management, property valuation and inventory management. The RFT helps you systematically understand and forecast length of stay patterns plus current and future business demand trends. So you optimize price and availability accordingly.


Do you know what your hotel does well?
Do you know where additional opportunity might exist? Would you like to make more house profit without increasing demand or finding new customers. The Revenue Forecasting Tool is a powerful and integrated tool to maximize day-to-day processes. So you’re better able to focus on more high-level functions like business process analysis, strategic development, supervision, policy and procedure enforcement, business profitability study, retail and group price analysis and stronger room revenue day-by-day forecasting by market segment.

The Intercrew Systems’ Revenue Forecasting Tool helps you anticipate and budget daily and monthly room revenue, analyze market segmentation and daily room inventory, so you maximize your hotel’s selling strategy. You can easily eliminate anomalies or one-time booking patterns from trend calculations to get a real blend for accurate forecasting going forward. By standardizing the process, users are forced to follow best practices, helping you build a methodology. Intercrew Systems gives multi-brand operators one, customized revenue management process across all hotel brands, unifying your sell strategy, allocating personnel wisely and helping hotels employ a higher-level Revenue Manager to support several units. This integrated approach saves time, improves performance and cuts cost.

Revenue Managers can finally see what each hotel is doing and what it will do in the future, day-by-day by market segment. Understand the impact of government, third-party Internet vs. opaque Internet. Track early departures, no-shows, same-day cancellations and walk-ins. You’ll always have the information you need to provide a standard day-by-day oversell factor, thus maximizing revenue through more frequent perfect sells. The Revenue Forecasting Tool tracks and forecasts the room sold and rate by every market segment, day-by-day in every detail.

The Revenue Forecasting Tool seamlessly integrates with all major group management systems to strengthen data analysis and reporting. Revenue managers can automatically import actual segmented day-by-day room and rate information to easily manage and analyze group blocks from Delphi™, Daylight Software, Hotel SalesPro® or other historical and group sales automation applications. So you avoid manual data entry.

With the Intercrew Systems’ Revenue Forecasting Tool, you can generate more than 15 versatile reports. You also have the ability to add custom reports suitable for your unique business model. Real-time reports deliver broad, high-level overviews of your competitive landscape, group and transient trends, current, historical and future statistics, along with series analysis to maximize corporate-level sales and marketing initiatives. Rollup reports improve your overall visibility, including cumulative totals by region, brand, service or other allocation level. While the value-added information is arguably the strongest reporting benefit, Intercrew Systems also makes them presentation-ready, aligning with and simplifying senior-level reporting or team meeting preparation.

Using the Revenue Forecasting Tool, Revenue Managers can optimize business opportunities by leveraging customer demand, understanding trends and their high-level competitive landscape. This insight allows for stronger strategic planning of target promotions and advertising, group room ceilings, target rates by day of week and retail price positioning.
