Imagine this: No new rooms. No extra guests. Yet, your revenue skyrockets. Unrealistic?
For those still relying on outdated booking engines, absolutely.But our clients are proving it can be done: by using an AI-powered Sales Engine instead of a traditional Booking Engine.
You’re Not Selling Rooms — You’re Selling Experiences
If you're still thinking in room categories like it's 2005 and depending on a standard booking engine, you're leaving serious money on the table. You're missing what your guests really want, and you have no visibility into where you're losing revenue opportunities every single day.
Because selling smarter doesn't require:
New rooms
Renovations
More tools
Or even loyalty programs
It just needs a better system.
Three Clear Advantages of a Sales Engine
Higher conversion rates on your direct website
Targeted selling and pricing — the right room for every guest
Increased revenue by monetizing all room attributes and values
And those who sell via a Sales Engine — not a booking machine — gain access to two KPIs that no traditional report even touches:
Upsell Conversion Rate – When guests want more than just cheap
Feature-Upsell Revenue – When your room features start printing money
Upsell Conversion Rate
This metric shows how many guests choose to spend more, not because they have to, but because personalized room offers are simply more convincing. It reflects the percentage of bookings where the guest didn't select the lowest room category.
Hotel | Location | Upsell Conversion |
Hotel A | Graz (66 rooms) | 69.23% |
Hotel B | Berlin (70 rooms) | 62.5% |
Hotel C | Munich (121 rooms) | 61.62% |
Hotel D | Near Leverkusen (191 rooms) | 58.91% |
Hotel E | Airport (248 rooms) | 57.23% |
This number helps reposition room products, identify pricing gaps, and close offer blind spots. It’s a performance metric that improves continuously when products match guest expectations. Traditional booking engines and rigid room categories simply can’t produce this insight nor does it make sense for them. Because what gets sold is tied to how your inventory is structured. If you only offer two room categories, there’s barely room for upselling. That’s where dynamic inventory changes the game: no matter how many (or few) categories you have, we turn them into dynamic, audience-focused products without creating a single new category.
Feature-Upsell Revenue
This metric tracks how much additional revenue is generated from new price points based on monetizing specific room features or custom combinations. It shows how much more is earned beyond the original category price.
Example: If a standard room is priced at €100, and you sell it as a “cozy corner room” for €110 — that’s a €10 Feature Upsell (per night!) based solely on a smartly highlighted room feature.
Hotel | Location | Avg. Monthly Upsell Revenue |
Hotel A | Graz (66 rooms) | €700 |
Hotel B | Berlin (70 rooms) | €4,200 |
Hotel C | Munich (121 rooms) | €4,400 |
Hotel D | Near Leverkusen (191 rooms) | €4,350 |
Hotel E | Airport (248 rooms) | €2,200 |
Potential depends heavily on your overarching pricing strategy. Hotels with fewer categories earn more from feature-based upselling due to previous lack of differentiation.
Hotels with many categories benefit from top-level product strategies. Crucially, price gaps between offerings can be optimized with these additional products to ensure the right price for the right guest.
Break Free from Routine. Step Into a Retail Mindset.
From routine to retail.From categories to experiences. From static to dynamic, from standardized to personalized.
If you manage your inventory like you always have, you’ll get the same old results. Modern hoteliers curate, combine, and sell experiences, not categories.
