TFE Hotels Centralizes Rates and Saves Days of Manual Labor with SiteMinder Multi-Property

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

SiteMinder Multi-Property enables hotel groups and chains to load, manage and distribute their rates centrally.

Why it matters: Until very recently, TFE Hotels, which has earned a reputation as the “developers’ hotelier”, had two revenue team members loading rates for its 60-strong portfolio of hotels. However, SiteMinder Multi-Property has alleviated some of their workload by removing some of the complexity.

As TFE Hotels continues to recover from the challenges of the pandemic, it will need to be more dynamic with its rates, reacting as the market changes.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Significant time and efficiency gains are critical to the bottom line of any hotel. TFE Hotels is one such example, and the Australia-based hotel chain anticipates it will achieve these through implementing SiteMinder Multi-Property.

Automation wins: The ability to make decisions and act swiftly is crucial. “The value needs to be there. Our technology must enable us to move quickly.”
Gain more time: SiteMinder gives TFE the ability to do things themselves. It’s particularly important during periods when people are unavailable, and they need a job done fast
Remove complexity: The TFE group acknowledges how time-consuming the task of loading rates is and says the ability to be able to do it all in one go, for all hotels in the portfolio, will make a huge difference.
