Recently, a significant development has stirred the industry: a major pricing data provider announced its entry into direct competition with revenue management systems (RMS) and channel managers. This shift has sparked concerns about potential conflicts of interest among their RMS and channel manager clients.

As the industry evolves, it’s crucial to reassess how we choose our data partners. The importance of having a dedicated data partner who focuses solely on providing accurate and unbiased data cannot be overstated. Here’s why:
The Conflict of Interest Dilemma
When a major data provider starts offering its own RMS and channel management solutions, it inevitably raises questions about the impartiality of the data provided. Clients who once relied on this provider for unbiased data now face a competitor with access to their sensitive information. This dual role can lead to conflicts of interest, where the provider’s business interests may not align with those of their clients.
The Need for Stability and Trust
Stability in partnerships is key to long-term success. In an industry where data accuracy can make or break revenue strategies, trust is non-negotiable. A dedicated data provider, whose sole focus is on delivering high-quality data intelligence solutions, offers a level of stability and trust that cannot be matched by competitors who have diversified their offerings. By choosing a partner with no competing interests, businesses can ensure their data is both reliable and unbiased.
Commitment to Client Success
A data partner dedicated solely to data provision is wholly committed to the success of their clients. Their primary goal is to enhance the client’s revenue management and channel distribution strategies through the provision of accurate and actionable data. This commitment ensures that the data partner is always working in the best interest of their clients, without the distraction of competing business interests.
