Apaleo and IDeaS have expanded their integration to enable two-way data exchange between Apaleo’s property management system (PMS) and the IDeaS revenue management platform.
The integration is designed to allow hotels to use operational and demand data for pricing, inventory, forecasting and revenue management. Reservation, inventory, pricing and performance data are exchanged automatically between the two platforms with the goal of reducing manual data entry and providing inputs for forecasting and pricing decisions.
Apaleo sends reservation and stay data to Bloomington, Minn.-based IDeaS, while the SAS company returns pricing, forecasting and revenue-control recommendations to Apaleo. These include overbooking, minimum length-of-stay and Last Room Value decisions.
The integration supports data exchange at the room-type, product-type and market-segment levels and is designed to accommodate multi-property portfolios and hotel groups. Customers can access the integration through Apaleo’s integration marketplace and IDeaS’ partner ecosystem.
“Partnering with IDeaS strengthens our mission to give hospitality operators the flexibility to build a tech stack that works the way they do,” Uli Pillau, CEO and founder of Munich, Germany-based Apaleo, said in a statement. “For Apaleo, this integration is in particular an important one considering our close relationship with the founders and management of IDeaS,”
“The hospitality industry is moving beyond simply connecting systems toward creating technology ecosystems that help operators make better commercial decisions. Our expanded relationship with Apaleo is built around that vision,” added Olga Tolle-Rodrigues, director of global alliances at IDeaS.
