RateAlpha

Your revenue manager, on top of PriceLabs.

RateAlpha is an analytics and action layer that sits on top of your PriceLabs pricing. It pulls the signals PriceLabs doesn't surface, flags the properties that need attention today, and gives you the tasks a revenue manager would — without hiring one.

Built for operators running PriceLabs who want the value of a dedicated RM but can't justify the headcount.

RateAlpha executive summary — KPI tiles for net revenue, RevPAR, occupancy, ADR, bookings; Revenue Optimizer (overrides pushed, nights influenced, attributed revenue, booking rate); month-pacing tile and check-ins-today.

Last 30 days on Nomad Hospitality

RateAlpha surfaced $18k in captured surplus — markup we'd have missed otherwise.

Real number from our own portfolio. Your mileage will vary with unit mix and comp set.

How it works

Three steps. Then it's part of your morning.

  1. Connect PriceLabs + your PMS

    OAuth into PriceLabs, point at your PMS. About 5 minutes, one time.

  2. Open the morning briefing

    Each morning RateAlpha hands you a ranked list of properties that need attention today — with the context (pace, pickup, events) baked in.

  3. Work the task queue

    One-click accept writes the override back to PriceLabs. RateAlpha tracks whether the action actually moved pace and RevPAR.

What's inside

Pacing, pickup, and the task queue that ties them together.

Morning Briefing

Open it once a day. Know exactly where to focus.

Every morning, RateAlpha surfaces the handful of properties that need attention today — with the specific context that makes the call obvious, not a dashboard you still have to read.

  • "A festival 2 weeks out has pushed market P50 up 35% and your rates haven't responded."
  • "P60 listing booking at P45 with MPI 0.6 — revenue leak worth flagging."
  • "Pickup on 3 properties fell off the pace curve yesterday."

On top of PriceLabs

Catch what PriceLabs rules miss.

RateAlpha assumes PriceLabs is doing the pricing. Its job is to catch the cases PriceLabs rules weren't written for — stale overrides, pace-vs-rule disagreements, gaps you forgot to tell the rule engine about.

  • Imports your PriceLabs rules, overrides, and recommendations on connect
  • Flags overrides that haven't been re-evaluated in 30+ days
  • Surfaces properties where PriceLabs rate and actual booking pace disagree

Revenue management tasks

Not another dashboard. A task queue.

Every signal comes with a specific action and writes back to PriceLabs when you accept it. Check a task off and RateAlpha tracks whether it actually moved the number — so you know which recommendations are earning their keep.

  • Tiered priority = revenue impact × time-sensitivity
  • One-click accept/reject writes overrides back to PriceLabs
  • Outcome tracking: did the task actually improve pace/RevPAR?

Pacing, pickup, and pipeline

Forward-looking views that let you act early.

Most analytics tells you what happened. RateAlpha tells you what's about to — forward OTB vs. last year, daily pickup against a target curve, and gap-detection callouts on weeks that are tracking soft, in time to do something about them.

  • Forward OTB vs. same-time-last-year by property and by portfolio
  • Daily pickup curves with target thresholds
  • Gap detection flags weeks where pace has gone cold
RateAlpha pacing view — current booked vs. same time last year tiles, percent-of-STLY progress bar, and a cumulative revenue chart overlaying current year against prior year.
