4 questions most hotels cannot answer

Gross sales are in the PMS. What is hard to see is what each channel costs in commission — and what is left once it has been paid.

1

What does it cost us to sell through others?

2

What do we have left once the commission is paid?

3

Which sales channel sells the most for us?

4

Which channel do we earn the most on per booking?

This is what you see

Gross, commission and net — channel by channel

Every sales channel with its own commission rate. The bridge adds up: gross minus commission is net — and everything can be compared with the same period last year. Your own website costs no commission.

Net to the hotel Commission
Illustration with demo data (SiloStay). The real module shows your own figures.
  • ✓The value bridge — room revenue · commission · net after commission — three figures that add up
  • ✓The channel mix — how much of the sales each channel accounts for — and how much comes from your own website
  • ✓Your own commission rates — you set the rate per channel; the module calculates the commission in money
  • ✓Per booking — average room rate and net per channel — which channel gives the most back per booking
  • ✓Cancellations and lead time per channel — who falls away, and how far ahead of arrival they book
How it works

From data to decision

No manual entry and no spreadsheets — the module builds on the data the hotel already has.

1

Connect your PMS

Spectra, TecHotel or MEWS — we guide you through the connection.

2

Set the commission rates

One rate per channel — the module calculates commission and net in money.

3

Compare the channels

Gross, commission, net and per booking — against the same period last year.

Calculate it yourself

What is it worth to YOUR hotel?

Enter your own figures and see what a better channel mix is worth — not away from the channels, but towards the ones you earn the most on. The whole calculation is shown openly — no hidden factors.

Your figures & assumptions

  • Commission paid per year: —
  • The module’s price: — — the potential is —

All figures are your own inputs and assumptions — the calculator does not guess for you. The module then calculates on the hotel's ACTUAL channel mix and commission rates, channel by channel.

Questions and answers

What hotels ask us

Do we have to enter our sales ourselves?
No. All reservations and all revenue are fetched automatically from your booking system every night. The only thing you maintain yourselves is the setup of your channels: what they are called, what belongs to them, and what they cost in per cent.
Can we use our own channel names — and merge or split channels?
Yes. The standard list is only a starting point: you rename, merge, split and add freely. Some hotels combine OTA and tour operator in one channel; others split them, because the commission differs. The list should look like your business — not like a standard.
Do the commission rates change our revenue figures?
No. Your figures are and remain the booking system's figures — gross. Net after commission is an extra view on top, because commission is often settled only after the stay and therefore can never appear in the booking system. You can always see both figures side by side.
What are the categories that appear by themselves?
On Basis the categories are the PMS's own market groups or segments — one row per value with revenue, with no setup at all; reservations without a segment are gathered in «Ikke angivet» (not specified). You only set the commission rate. From Plus you shape the categories yourselves with PMS filters.
