Introduction

PriceVenue is an intelligent revenue management platform designed for short-term rental operators, property managers, and hospitality businesses.

The platform analyzes bookings, demand patterns, lead time, occupancy pressure, and local events in order to generate optimized daily prices for your properties.

PriceVenue connects with Hosthub to import reservations and availability, and then calculates recommended prices that can automatically be pushed back to your channels.

System Overview

PriceVenue consists of three main components:

  1. Data Import Layer

  2. Pricing Intelligence Engine

  3. Automation & Price Push

Workflow:

Hosthub → PriceVenue → Smart Pricing Engine → Recommended Prices → Push to Hosthub

The system continuously updates pricing based on:

  • bookings

  • occupancy

  • lead time

  • events

  • demand pressure

  • global adjustments

  • property

  • sorting method

Each row shows:

  • check-in

  • check-out

  • listing

  • guest name

Revenue Dashboard

The Revenue section provides performance analytics.

Metrics include:

  • Total revenue

  • Nights booked

  • ADR (Average Daily Rate)

  • Occupancy

  • Average booking value

  • Average length of stay

  • Revenue per day

The dashboard automatically updates based on the selected date range.

Pricing Engine

The PriceVenue pricing engine calculates daily prices based on multiple factors.

Base Pricing

The base pricing strategy defines the starting price.

Settings include:

Base Price
Minimum Stay
Friday Uplift
Saturday Uplift
Demand Sensitivity

Example:

Base price = 100€
Saturday uplift = +5%

Saturday price becomes:

105€

Lead Time Pricing

Lead time adjusts prices depending on how far away the arrival date is.

Example configuration:

Arrival Window Multiplier
30+ days 0.95
≤30 days 1.00
≤14 days 1.05
≤7 days 0.90
≤3 days 0.95

This allows prices to increase or decrease depending on urgency.

Occupancy Pressure

PriceVenue adjusts prices based on booking pressure.

Example:

Low occupancy threshold = 35%
High occupancy threshold = 75%

Rules:

If occupancy < 35%
→ price decreases

If occupancy > 75%
→ price increases

Event-Driven Pricing

PriceVenue integrates with the Ticketmaster API to detect events near your properties.

Supported event categories:

  • concerts

  • festivals

  • conferences

You can configure:

  • event boost percentage

  • maximum boost cap

  • distance radius

Example:

Concert boost = +4%
Festival boost = +4%
Max daily boost = 15%

Events appear in the calendar with a star indicator.

Market Anchor

The Market Anchor feature allows prices to partially follow market benchmarks.

Example:

Anchor percentile = P50 (median)
Anchor weight = 0.35

Meaning:

35% market price
65% internal pricing engine

This helps keep prices aligned with the market.

Global Price Adjustment

A global adjustment can be applied after the engine calculates prices.

Example:

Mode = Percentage
Adjustment = +4%

All recommended prices increase by 4%.

Automation

PriceVenue can operate fully automatically.

Example configuration:

External Events

External events are stored in the system and displayed in the calendar.

Each event includes:

These events are used to influence price recommendations.
