Modified on Wed, 9 Jul at 3:06 PM


RaccoonRev Plus is RoomRaccoon’s next-generation, AI-powered revenue management tool designed to give independent hoteliers predictive pricing power — all from within the familiar RoomRaccoon platform. Built directly into your Channel Manager, it offers intelligent, data-driven pricing suggestions that help you stay competitive and boost your revenue, without needing an external RMS.

Note: RaccoonRev Plus is currently available exclusively to Pro subscribers (formerly called ‘Enterprise’).

What makes RaccoonRev Plus smarter?

RaccoonRev Plus goes beyond traditional occupancy-based dynamic pricing. It uses predictive intelligence to continuously analyze a wide range of internal and external data sources, including:

  • Competitor Pricing: Tracks 6 competitors to understand market demand shifts.

  • Pickup Pace: Monitors your property’s booking speed to detect demand surges.

  • Historical & Lead Time Trends: Compares current performance with past data and lead time behavior.

  • Weather Forecasts: Adjusts for conditions up to 14 days ahead.

  • Local Events & Holidays: Anticipates demand from public events, festivals, and holidays.

How to apply AI pricing suggestions

1. How to apply AI pricing suggestions for a single day.

  • Hover over the colored block on a specific day in the RaccoonRev Plus dashboard.

  • Review the AI’s suggestion and rationale by hovering over the block.

  • Click “Apply to all categories” to update all rate plans for that day.

2. How to apply AI pricing suggestions for a date range (multiple days).

  • Select a room category using the drop down. This can be for all room rates and categories, or a single category.

  • Select a date range at the top of the Channel Manager.

  • Click the black button “Apply to the selected date range.”

  • All AI rate suggestions will be applied across your rate plans.

Updates are queued in the Channel Manager, so you can leave the page while the system processes changes.

Note: When you update a rate using a RaccoonRev Plus, the price block in the Channel Manager calendar will be highlighted in purple. This visual indicator shows that the rate was adjusted using an AI-powered pricing suggestion from RaccoonRev Plus.
