Discover the Future of Revenue Management with Metro Engine

In the ever-evolving hospitality industry, effective revenue management is paramount. Metro Engine Inc., a leading provider of revenue management tools leveraging big data and artificial intelligence, is set to host a free online seminar on May 9 and May 12, 2025. This exclusive event will highlight two new features currently under development: Metro Trail and Metro Control.

The seminar will allow attendees to gain insights into innovative solutions designed to tackle the increasingly complex challenges facing hotels today. Metro Engine's revenue management system utilizes advanced AI to collect and analyze a myriad of data points that influence hotel pricing. This system has already supported numerous accommodation providers in developing pricing strategies that do not rely solely on individual judgment.

As the hospitality sector grapples with rapid changes in customer demand, emergency bookings triggered by significant events, and the growing burden of complicated reservation operations, Metro Engine recognizes the urgent need for improvement. To this end, the company is advancing the development of Metro Trail, which will detect sudden spikes in bookings due to events, thereby preventing potential revenue losses. Additionally, Metro Control aims to streamline the reservation process, alleviating staff workloads and reducing human error.
