Stop Guessing, Start Optimizing! – Hotellistat x opensmjle

If you ask any hotelier what keeps them up at night, chances are high that somewhere on that list is “am I leaving money on the table?”

The hospitality industry is competitive, hyper-dynamic, and driven by ever-changing guest expectations. Yet, when it comes to revenue management, many hotels are still stuck using outdated tools, or worse, gut feelings. The problem? They’re often optimizing with blindfolds on.

The Real Problem: Static Pricing in a Dynamic World

Let’s be honest. Setting room rates once a quarter (or even once a week) just doesn’t cut it anymore. Market demand shifts daily, and sometimes even from one minute to the next. Competitor pricing fluctuates. Events pop up. Guest behavior evolves. And amidst all that, too many revenue managers are forced to piece together fragmented data, buried in spreadsheets, to make pricing decisions.

It’s not that hotels don’t want to be more agile; they just don’t have the right tools to do it effectively.

That’s where software solutions like Hotellistat come in.

What Makes Hotellistat Different?

Hotellistat is a holistic revenue management and business intelligence platform. But more importantly, it’s built around the understanding that context is king. It doesn’t just collect data, it turns it into insight. Then it helps hotels act on it. Fast, with real-time updates that ensure they’re always a step ahead.

Hotellistat combines pricing, competitor benchmarking, forecasting, and dynamic rate recommendations in one beautifully integrated platform. So instead of chasing numbers, revenue managers can make strategic moves based on live market data. The result? More confident pricing, better revenue capture, and a lot less guesswork.

Our approach at opensmjle

We’re proud to be working with Hotellistat not just because of the tech (although, yes, it is very smart), but because we believe in their mindset. They don’t just offer a tool, they offer a shift in perspective. From historical approaches to futureproof total revenue management. They’re helping hotels move from reactive to proactive. From surviving the season to mastering it.

That’s a conversation worth having.

So instead of just announcing “hey, we’re working with Hotellistat now” (which, by the way, we are 🎉), we’d rather talk about why it matters. Because at the end of the day, great partnerships are built around solving real problems, and this one’s a big one.

That is why we are happy to introduce you to their newest achievements.

So, what’s new at Hotellistat?

As software developers but revenue managers at heart, Hotellistat’s founders, Philip and Sina, have always been driven by one goal: solving the real challenges they faced during their time as Directors of Revenue for a major hotel group. One of the biggest pain points? Deciding whether to accept or decline a group booking. What’s the right price? Which room categories should be allocated to ensure the most profitable ones remain available for individual guests?

Now, Hotellistat takes all the guesswork out of group bookings with AI-powered group pricing. Hoteliers simply input the hard facts, date, number of rooms, additional F&B or MICE revenue potential, and Hotellistat does the rest. No more headaches. No more uncertainty. Just profitable group offers in seconds. Sounds pretty great, right? But wait, it gets even better.

Every revenue manager has been there: you’re in a GM meeting, presenting last month’s results, and suddenly, the questions start flying. How did ADR compare to last year? What does the forecast look like for the next four weeks? How much is the corporate contract with XX contributing to our occupancy? Instead of frantically digging through Excel sheets and reports, now you can simply ask ARIS Athena. She knows all your data and will give you the desired answer in the blink of an eye.

Hotellistat is no longer just a powerful data platform, it’s your personal revenue AI assistant. Just talk to it. Get instant answers. And focus on what truly matters: optimizing your commercial cycle with faster and smarter decisions.

Are you ready for the next generation of revenue management? Because Hotellistat already is.

This partnership is about more than technology; it’s about empowering hoteliers with the confidence to make the right decisions, backed by real-time insights and intelligent automation. And honestly? That’s the kind of progress worth talking about.

Let’s stop guessing and start optimizing—together.
