Pace
What is Pace?
Pace Revenue was acquired by FLYR in September 2022 and its hotel revenue-management technology now operates as FLYR Hospitality. The current platform is an AI-first revenue strategy system for hotels and accommodation businesses, organized around Optimize, Insights, Planning, and Groups.
- Revenue optimization: Optimize generates hourly pricing and inventory-restriction recommendations using demand forecasting and price-sensitivity models. Hotels can run recommendations manually or automate their application, while revenue managers influence the AI through strategic directions rather than maintaining large sets of fixed business rules.
- Commercial intelligence: Insights centralizes PMS, rate-shopper, benchmarking, and other commercial data with transactional-level analysis, customizable dashboards, scheduled reports, custom metrics, and natural-language AI queries. It is designed to give revenue and commercial teams a common data layer for investigating performance measures such as pickup, occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR.
- Planning and group business: Planning supports rolling and locked forecasts, AI-generated baseline forecasts, versioning, forecast-accuracy tracking, scenario comparisons across periods and budgets, and structured approval workflows. Groups extends optimization to transient, corporate, and group demand with real-time displacement analysis, inventory allocation, rate recommendations, pickup and wash tracking, and forecast impact before a group is accepted.
- Integration ecosystem: FLYR Hospitality currently lists 26 integrations across PMS, CRS, intelligence, and marketing systems. Featured connections include Mews, Oracle OPERA Cloud, Cloudbeds, Apaleo, Stayntouch, CoStar STR, Amadeus Demand360, and RateGain, allowing its pricing, forecasting, and analytics workflows to use data from the hotel’s existing commercial technology stack.
FLYR Hospitality is most relevant to hotels and multi-property groups that want revenue optimization, business intelligence, forecasting, and group-business decisions operating from the same data and AI platform rather than separate RMS, BI, and spreadsheet workflows.
Cendyn Guestrev
What is Cendyn Guestrev?
Cendyn Guestrev is a hotel and casino revenue management system focused on total profit optimization rather than room revenue alone. It generates pricing recommendations by room category and market segment while allowing properties to incorporate ancillary revenue and evaluate the broader revenue potential of different guest segments. Current Cendyn materials describe support for up to nine configurable ancillary-revenue categories.
- Revenue role: Guestrev combines on-the-books business, projected room nights, unconstrained demand, occupancy, ADR, pace, pickup, and historical comparisons to support daily pricing decisions. Analysis can be performed by room category and control or customer segment rather than only at whole-property level.
- Optimization workflow: the system generates pricing and inventory recommendations that can be reviewed, manually overridden, or sent through Auto Pilot to the PMS. Revenue managers can also override Guestrev's unconstrained demand forecast at room-category level and then rerun optimization.
- Operational fit: buyers should assess PMS connectivity, room and market-segment structure, historical-data quality, ancillary-revenue inputs, and governance over automated rate changes. Recent Guestrev enhancements also incorporate enriched lost-business information from Cendyn's CRS and booking engine to provide additional context for pace and future-demand forecasts.
- Commercial considerations: Guestrev remains an actively supported Cendyn revenue-management product, but fixed public subscription pricing is not listed. Buyers should obtain commercial terms based on their property or portfolio requirements, integrations, implementation scope, and required revenue-management configuration. Current independent product listings likewise direct buyers to request a price quote.
Cendyn Guestrev is particularly relevant to hotels, resorts, and casinos that want granular room and segment-level pricing while incorporating ancillary spend and total guest profitability into revenue-management decisions.
