Intelligence Overview
The Intelligence section allows property users to set up and manage advanced pricing strategies, including derived rate plans and Length of Stay (LOS) rules. These tools are designed to support dynamic and competitive pricing, often seen across OTAs and direct channel managers.ad
⚠️ Important:
This user guide is the primary reference for property users configuring intelligent pricing in Bakuun. Please follow the steps carefully to ensure correct setup, as incorrect configurations may lead to unexpected rate behavior on connected channels.
Using Intelligent Pricing Rules, you can:
- Apply LOS based discounts or surcharges.
- Create Derived Rate Plans based on a master rate plan.
- Restrict availability of specific pricing structures by market segment or geography.
✨ This flexibility allows property users to optimize revenue based on booking behavior, seasonality, and demand, without requiring manual updates to every rate plan.
Intelligence → LOS Rates
The LOS (Length of Stay) Rates section allows property users to apply dynamic pricing rules based on how many nights a guest stays. This strategy is commonly used in the hospitality industry to:
- Encourage longer stays by offering discounted rates
- Adjust pricing based on booking patterns
- Automatically apply special rates without needing separate rate plans
ℹ️ LOS rates are available only within the Intelligence section. These rules are applied on top of existing rate plans and do not override room level configurations.
