  • Unable to forecast demand: They faced difficulty in predicting accurate demand for hotel rooms, which impacted their revenue generation.
  • Traditional Pricing Model: Old pricing strategies generally undercharge during peak seasons and overcharge during off-peak seasons.
  • Operational inefficiencies: They followed manual processes that created issues in optimizing room pricing in real-time.

Our Solution

To overcome all the above challenges, our experts implemented an AI-powered dynamic pricing solution. Our experts integrated Salesforce with MuleSoft and a specialized AI model for hotel pricing. Here is the process we have followed for it:

  • Salesforce Integration: We integrated MuleSoft with Salesforce to connect the hotel’s CRM system.
  • Data Storage: The historical data, such as booking dates, room types, prices, etc., is securely downloaded and stored in a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) location.
  • Automated Data Download: On the 5th of each month, MuleSoft automatically downloads historical booking data from Salesforce to the designated SFTP location.
  • AI Model Integration: We trained the AI system especially for analyzing hotel pricing trends and processing the data via Mulesoft.
  • Data Processing: The AI system analyzes and retrieves the historical data from the SFTP location via Mulesoft. It efficiently works in identifying patterns to forecast the future demand on specific dates and room types.
  • Dynamic Pricing Generation: Based on demand predictions, the AI system shows the optimal pricing recommendations on different dates.
  • Price Updates: MuleSoft sends the recommended prices back to Salesforce, where hotel staff can review and adjust pricing as necessary.
  • Revenue Optimization: By adjusting prices in response to predicted demand, the hotel can maximize its revenue during peak periods and remain competitive during low-demand periods.
