Cloudbeds Unveils Advanced Revenue Intelligence and Guest Marketing Capabilities
Cloudbeds, the AI-powered platform fueling hotel growth, today announced advanced revenue intelligence and guest marketing capabilities for Signals, the hospitality industry’s first foundation AI model designed specifically for hotels. Built on breakthrough causal AI technology that processes 4 billion data points per hour, these new capabilities revolutionize revenue management and guest marketing by understanding cause-and-effect relationships between market forces rather than simple correlations.
These purpose-built capabilities address critical industry challenges as hotels navigate increasingly shorter booking windows, contracted markets, and the breakdown of traditional forecasting methods. COVID-19 fundamentally transformed revenue management by invalidating historical data reliability, while the post-pandemic “revenge travel” boom is declining. Traditional forecasting approaches struggle with accuracy rates around 50-70%, leaving hoteliers lacking the precision needed for optimal decision-making.

At its core, MAX predicts demand fluctuations with precision. By analyzing historical data, market dynamics, and booking behavior, it provides a clear picture of when your meeting rooms will be in high demand – and when they won’t. But it doesn’t stop there.

RoomPriceGenie New Feature: Quote Groups with Confidence and Earn More Revenue
When a big group enquiry lands in your inbox, it’s exciting. But it can also be tricky: how much should you discount? Will that booking bring in more revenue than your regular guests would? And how quickly can you give them a confident, data-backed answer before they book somewhere else?
With RoomPriceGenie’s new Group Displacement Calculator, you’ll never have to guess again.
This feature helps you instantly see whether accepting a group booking is financially worth it, so you can offer the right price without risking your revenue.
While groups often expect a discount, the real question is: will this deal make you more money than if you waited for regular bookings?
