How the analysis controls works

For setting up your analysis, you can define KPIs, filters, distribution and reference. You can then take a look at the data in a chart or table view.

...

  • KPI: what will be analyzed.

    • Revenue, occupancy, ADR or RevPar.

  • Filter: particular information for which all available data will be displayed.

    • Pickup, room category, room type, segments, channels or countries.

  • Distribution: will split the available data into the selected distribution adding up to the total of your selected KPI.

    • Room category, room type, segments, channels or countries.

  • Reference: comparison with previous years.

    • Last year or 2 years ago.

...

KPI

To setup your analysis you first choose one of the given KPI which will be shown in the chart.

...

A filter is used to show all available data for one particular information.

e.g. The combination of the KPI “occupancy” “revenue” and the filter for the room category “standard”type “ROOM A”, will show, in the chart or table, how much occuppancy revenue in each individual day is generated by this room categorytype.

...

You can choose between the following filters:

  • Pickup: With the pickup filter you can choose select if you would like to display the pickup of the last 1, 3, 7, 14 or 7 30 days. If you set a pickup filter you will see how many room nights were picked for each individual day based on the chosen period.

Info

We will show only the net-pickup, so rooms that were reserved and cancelled within the 1, 3 or 7 days will be deducted automatically.

  • Room Categories: The room categories you can choose as a filter are based on your settings in the inventory configurations (same as in Manage). If you have distributed your single room types into sup-categories in RateBoard (e.g Standard, Superior, Suite etc.) you could use this setup to assess your data. IMPORTANT: To be able to use this filter you have to have your inventory capacity information setup in RateBoard first. This setup you can do in “Settings>Inventory” if you click on tab “Capacity”the ones set in your inventory.

  • Room Types: If you like to assess the performance of one individual room type you use this as a filter. Once you selected the filter for e.g. your double standard room the chart will just show you the values of this room type. IMPORTANT: The room types are the ones set in your inventory.

must be set.

  • Segments: The segments available for this analysis will equal are the same segments you set up and use in your PMS.

  • Channels: If you set up a filter for a specific channel only this information will be shown depending on the value of the selected KPI. If I choose the KPI “Occupancy” with the filter of “Website” the chart will show just the occupancy generated by your own website for each day. The channels available for this analysis will equal the channels you set up and use in your PMS.

  • Countries: Filtering data by country gives you the opportunity to analyze the selected origin of your guest based on the chosen KPI. If you for example select the KPI “Occupancy” with a filter for your German guest, the chart will show you how much occupancy is generated by just German guest per day. The countries available for this analysis will equal the countries you set up and use in your PMS.

Distribution

The distributions are working a little different then the setting of filters. If you select a distribution the chart will not just show a single information like in the filter. In fact, it will display all available data distribution is different from the filter, because it shows all the available data for the selected option, adding up to the total of your selected KPI.

e.g. If you for example chose “Occupancy” “revenue” as your KPI and “Segment” “Room type” as your distribution, the chart will show all available segments room types and their relative proportion of the total occupancy. By this the shown data is a composition of all available information. 

...

...

You could use the following distributions:

  • Segments

...

  • Pickup: you can select

...

  • Countries

A distribution by country will give you all countries of origin of your guest adding up to your total KPI value. The countries available will equal the countries of origin of your guest in the PMS.

  • Room type

The distribution by room type will show you the composition of all your individual room types on a given day. IMPORTANT: To be able to use this filter you have to have your inventory capacity information setup in RateBoard first. This setup you can do in “Settings>Inventory” if you click on tab “Capacity”.

  • Room category

Distributing by room category refers to your individual settings in the “Inventory” by e.g. “Standard”, “Superior”, “Suite” etc. This way you could assess how the individual categories are standing to each other proportionally on a given day. IMPORTANT: To be able to use this filter you have to have your inventory capacity information setup in RateBoard first. This setup you can do in “Settings>Inventory” if you click on tab “Capacity”.

  • Channels

A distribution by channel will give you an overview how the channels are composing to the total of your selected KPI. All channels available will equal the channels you use in your PMS.

  • Pickup

The distribution oy pickup could be done by the last day, the last three days and the last seven days. Contrary to the pickup filter the pickup distribution will not blend out all other information. This way you can assess your pickup while you also see the previous reservations that were on the books before.

...

  • if you would like to display the pickup of the last 1, 3, 7, 14 or 30 days.

Info

We will show only the net-pickup, so rooms that were reserved and cancelled within the 1, 3 or 7 days will be deducted automatically.
