With the continuous growth of ecommerce revenues for the French
hotel market the Lucien Barrière Groupe has selected RateTiger’s
channel management solution, RTAllocator, to manage their internet
distribution. RTAllocator, the extranet of extranets, allows a hotel
to manage rates, availability, cut offs, MLOS restrictions, etc from
one screen for all distributors simultaneously. It interfaces to
over 110 different 3rd party websites and tour operators.
‘After having compared and tested the various products in the
market, we have selected the Allocator from RateTiger because of
its user-friendliness. It easily allows us to simultaneously make
updates for our 3rd party website portfolio and implement our rate
parity strategy. We are aiming to further develop our internet sales
but do not want to penalize our operation with an increase of
administrational tasks by having to manually update all the
extranets. For this RTAllocator is an ideal solution: we will
increase our e-commerce business and save time for market analysis,
strategy, and sales coordination. We have come to the decision
as it has really been a strong demand made by our Revenue Management
Team’, says Philippe Coquand, Revenue Management and Distribution
Director of Groupe Lucien Barrière.
‘We are very excited to have the Lucien Barrière Groupe join our
RateTiger platform. The testing period has been quite interesting
actually. It is always great to work with a professional
organisation that really knows what it wants and challenges you. We
have learned a few things ourselves along the way as well. Lucien
Barrière will definitely make a strategical addition to our European
and French portfolio and we are looking forward to a longlasting
proporus relationship.’ said Patrick Landman of RateTiger.
