Cancellation Risk Analysis

Our Cancellation Risk Analysis will reveal a better understanding of the customer journey and, at the same time, learn from the data and allow allora.ai to protect your website’s revenue with enhanced forecasting. We start by analyzing the cancellation data by market segment and traveller type (family, business, etc).

Then break this down by channel, lead-in, rate and room.

Basket Abandonment Emails

The Save Search tool allows bookers to email details of their search to themselves or a friend from within the booking engine so they can come back later and pick up where they left off.

This functionality allows bookers to resume their search later on, therefore reducing the abandonment rate on your booking engine.

Room upgrades at various stages of the booking journey

When offering room upgrades at various stages of the booking journey, you build an easy way to maximise your guest revenue.

We go beyond showing this in the booking path by leveraging our AI capabilities to present upgrades to your guests any time they visit your website pre-check-in!

Advanced Flash Sales – Rooms now included!

One of the highlights of our August 2020 release was the advanced Flash Sale functionality and, in particular, the ability to apply a sale or exclusion on a per Room basis.

This should help you drive revenue across certain room types during foreseen periods of reduced demand or allow you to omit high demand room types from general sales.

Dynamic Packaging 

Does your hotel have an up-selling and cross-selling strategy in place?

Now, more than ever, we need to look at boosting profitability and driving guest revenues. Avvio’s Dynamic Packaging module allows you to expand your offering and enhance your guest’s overall experience. These tailored inclusions can be added during the booking process or, via Allora – at any time pre-check-in.

Group Rates

With many hoteliers re-aligning their marketing strategy to focus on the domestic market, there is no better time to consider setting up Group Rates. Avvio’s minimum number of rooms per rate feature will allow you to offer a discounted rate to guests who book multiple rooms (you set the minimum!) within the one transaction. This would be very useful at the moment for Reunion Rates.

Length of Stay Discount Restrictions

Rates have an option to provide length of stay discounts, but this was applied to all dates which may not be desirable. Based on your feedback to provide the ability to mitigate this, we have provided the functionality to restrict LOS discounts on specific dates.
