To set the right price based on changes in demand, applying a dynamic pricing software seems to be the most optimum way. Zeevou, the specialist property management system, announces its integration with Beyond, formerly Beyond Pricing.
Beyond is an automated dynamic pricing solution for Airbnb and other vacation rental sites or online travel agencies (OTAs). Its aim is similar to that of other dynamic pricing solutions, which is maximising occupancy and revenue during both high seasons and off-peaks.
Since its first integration with Airbnb, Beyond has set pricing for over 120,000 listings. Data-driven price recommendations of Beyond are claimed to be similar to the calculation used for the largest hotels and airlines in the world.

How Does Beyond Calculate Its Price Recommendations?
Daily analysis of each market based on different factors serves as a basis for price recommendations in Beyond. The variables involved include the day of the week, seasonality, and local events. The recommendations are valid for one year long and become applicable to be pushed to different channels afterwards.
What Are the Benefits of Getting Beyond Integrated to Your Listing Website?
1. A detailed breakdown of every price recommendation
Beyond shows you why the prices are going up or down on any day of the year.
2. A centralised view of a year of pricing recommendations
Seeing the full year of price recommendations provides you the option of syncing the whole year’s recommendations.
3. Automated dynamic pricing
As demand changes, all of the pricing of the properties go under a well-articulated revenue management automatically.
4. Pricing improvement opportunities
Beyond recommends prices after analysing factors, such as neighbourhood, seasonality, local demand, and more. By having all the recommendations in one centralised table, you won’t miss any price optimisation opportunities.
