Windsurfer CRS subscribers will have access to one of the most advanced and popular rate shopping solutions by RateGain.
Houston, Texas – RateGain, a pioneer in competitive price intelligence solutions, has formed a strategic alliance with Whiteboard Labs, a travel industry web and application development firm headquartered in Houston, Texas. Under this alliance, RateGain’s rate shopping solution would be integrated with the Windsurfer CRS and empower subscriber hotels of Whiteboard Labs, including chains like Desires Hotels and Centerstone Hotels, with access to accurate & decision making data on their competitors on a real time basis.
The Windsurfer CRS is customized for chains and independent hotels to manage their rates and inventory in an environment that is user friendly and robust enough for the most complex rate strategy. It connects its subscriber hotels to all of the distribution channels with the highest level of available communication interfaces.
RateGain is a leader in competitive price intelligence solutions for the hotel and travel industry and offers more than 13 billion rate shops on an annual basis to its clients worldwide. It monitors '000s (thousands) of channels in its scheduled & on-demand reports that not only include web direct hotel sites but also OTA sites (both regional and global players). It further enables easy identification of demand and pricing trends proactively with nine strategic views that guide quick pricing decisions for its subscriber hotels.
Its integration with the Windsurfer CRS would allow subscriber hotels of Whiteboard Labs to analyze and implement an effective pricing strategy in relation to their immediate competitive set and the trendsetters in their respective markets.

Windsurfer CRS is a strategic step in our continuous endeavor to offer

Whiteboard Labs and look forward to jointly offer innovative and
futuristic solutions to our clients.”
