Like-for-like Rate Benchmarking
Compare direct rates only after room type, occupancy, board basis, cancellation, taxes, currency and booking conditions are normalized.
Prevents false comparisonsTechnoheaven AI benchmarks your direct hotel contract against live supplier rates, normalizes room and rate conditions, identifies whether you are cheaper or more expensive, recommends the right markup, and predicts the best selling position — before your contract loses business in a competitive B2B market.
Uploading a contract is not enough. The platform should continuously answer: “Is this rate competitive, what markup can I safely apply, and should I prioritize this direct inventory over third-party supply?”
Compare direct rates only after room type, occupancy, board basis, cancellation, taxes, currency and booking conditions are normalized.
Prevents false comparisonsInstantly calculate exactly how much your contract is cheaper or higher than the best comparable supplier rate — in amount and percentage.
Gap + parity trackingRecommend a sell price that balances competitiveness, target margin, B2B customer tier, demand, booking window and minimum-profit guardrails.
Margin-aware pricingPredict whether the direct contract is likely to rank and convert based on market position, historical conversion and comparable supply depth.
0–100 scoreWhen enabled, adjust markup, change sorting priority, trigger rate alerts or pause an uncompetitive contract — within administrator-defined rules.
Human-controlled automationConnect competitiveness to impressions, searches, bookings, cancellations and revenue so the engine learns which pricing position wins business.
Commercial feedback loopChange the rates below. The demo recalculates market position, suggested sell price, safe markup and a simplified competitiveness score instantly.
Your direct contract is strongly competitive. Keep it prioritized and use a controlled markup while remaining below the nearest comparable supplier.

Before price comparison, the engine confirms hotel, room family, occupancy, meal, refundable terms, inclusions, taxes and currency are comparable.
Measure how far the direct contract sits below or above the best comparable market option.
Find the highest sell rate allowed by the chosen strategy while protecting minimum margin and competitive headroom.
Blend rate advantage, contract reliability, inventory, cancellation quality, demand, conversion and supplier depth into a single decision score.
If the direct contract delivers better commercial value, rank it higher. If it is materially expensive, reduce markup or shift traffic to stronger supply.
Compare recommendation vs actual booking outcome and keep model features updated by city, hotel, room type, market, agent segment and booking window.
Direct inventory creates more value only when the commercial position is strong enough to win searches and bookings.
The engine does not replace your contracts or suppliers. It creates a commercial decision layer that turns their data into smarter selling actions.
Extranet, Excel, channel manager, API, allocation and negotiated static rates.
Normalization, room matching, rate benchmarking, scoring, markup optimization and rule execution.
Optimized sell rate, sorting, alerts, contract dashboard, performance report and autopilot actions.
Portfolio-level view: competitive contracts, overpriced contracts, contracts with no comparable data, expiring rates and high-opportunity hotels.
Surface contracts where you can safely add margin, hotels where renegotiation is required, and dates where direct supply should receive more traffic.
When your direct rate remains above the market beyond a threshold, create an action for the contracting team with supporting benchmark evidence.
Benchmark every contract, protect margin, prioritize the right inventory and give your contracting team a clear answer on where to negotiate next.
