Our Story

We Built the Revenue Management System Hotels Actually Deserve

Most hotel revenue management tools are either too expensive for independent operators, too simple for growing groups, or too opaque to be trusted. We built Propeter to fix that — an AI hotel operating system that’s production-grade, transparent, and built for every segment from boutique to enterprise.

Why We Built This

Hotels Were Making Pricing Decisions in the Dark

When we started talking to hotel operators, we kept hearing the same things: “I update rates once a week — I don’t have time for more.” “Our RMS gives us recommendations but doesn’t explain them, so we override them.” “We’re paying 18% OTA commission on bookings we could have captured directly.”

The tools that existed were either enterprise systems priced out of reach for independent operators, or simplified tools that couldn’t handle real complexity — LOS pricing, mixed inventory, loyalty stacking, promotion conflict resolution, and multi-property management in one place.

We built Propeter as a production-grade, AI-native hotel operating system. Every feature you see in the platform is built and live — not a roadmap promise. The 13-stage Rate Engine runs on every booking request. The 6-agent AI pipeline forecasts demand and generates pricing strategy in plain language your team can actually act on.

“We didn’t want to build another dashboard with pretty charts. We wanted to build a system that actually makes pricing decisions — transparently, continuously, and correctly.”

Problems We Set Out to Solve

Manual rate updates — Hotel managers spending hours weekly on pricing decisions the AI can handle in milliseconds
 
OTA dependency — 15–18% commission on every booking that could have been captured directly through the hotel’s own website
 
Black-box AI — Pricing recommendations that can’t be explained, so staff override them on instinct — negating the AI entirely
 
Promotion margin leakage — Multiple discounts stacking unintentionally and eroding yield beyond what any single promotion intended
 
Fragmented operations — Separate tools for pricing, distribution, loyalty, accounting, and analytics that don’t talk to each other
 
One-size-fits-all tools — Software built for traditional hotels that fundamentally mishandles hostels, apartment hotels, and serviced apartments

Our Mission

To give every hotel — from a 20-room boutique to a 500-key enterprise portfolio — transparent, AI-powered revenue management that maximises profitability without sacrificing the operator’s control or understanding of their own pricing.

What We Built

A Platform Built from the Ground Up — Not Assembled from Acquisitions

Every component in Propeter was designed to work together as a single operating system. The Rate Engine feeds into the Demand Forecasting pipeline. The Competitive Intelligence layer informs the Strategy Agent. The Loyalty system integrates directly with the Booking Engine. Nothing is bolted on.

The result is a platform where a rate change in the forecasting model propagates through the rate engine, to OTA channels, to the direct booking engine, and into accounting — in a single coherent flow, not a chain of manual handoffs between disconnected tools.

Foundation

13-Stage Rate Engine

Purpose-built pricing pipeline processing every booking request — Base Rate through Inventory Validation, Promotions, Loyalty, Stacking Resolver, Guardrails, and Tax — in under 200ms.

Intelligence Layer

6-Agent AI Orchestration

AutoGen-powered agent pipeline: Data Ingestion → Market Intelligence → Demand Forecast (XGBoost + LSTM) → Price Elasticity → RevPAR Optimisation → Strategy Agent. Explainable recommendations at every step.

Distribution

Direct Booking + OTA Sync

Direct Booking Engine captures commission-free reservations. OTA channel sync publishes rate changes within 60 seconds across all distribution channels. Windcave 3DS payment processing built in.

Guest Engagement

Loyalty, Gamification & Mobile

4-tier loyalty programme, gamification (spin-to-win, badges), iOS/Android white-label guest app, referral programme. Guest engagement designed to reduce OTA dependence over time.

Finance & Analytics

Xero Integration & Reporting

Native Xero accounting integration with GL mapping, auto-invoicing, GST/VAT compliance, and reconciliation. North Star Analytics for RevPAR, TRevPAR, NRevPAR, and ADR reporting.

What We Stand For

Four principles that shape every product decision we make.

Transparency Over Performance

An AI system that produces the right answer but can’t explain it is worse than useless — your team won’t trust it, and will override it. Every Propeter rate recommendation comes with a plain-language explanation from the Strategy Agent. No black boxes.

Production Quality, Always

We don’t ship features as roadmap promises. Every capability in Propeter — from the 13-stage Rate Engine to the XGBoost demand forecast to the Xero GL integration — is live in production, battle-tested, and available to every customer on day one.

Control Stays With the Operator

AI should augment human judgment, not replace it without consent. Rate Guardrails, promotion rules, loyalty tier discounts, and pricing envelopes are all operator-configured. The AI works within boundaries you define — never outside them.

Built for Every Property Type

Hostels, apartment hotels, boutiques, serviced apartments, vacation rentals, and hotel groups each face unique revenue challenges. Propeter is designed to serve all of them correctly — not to force a traditional hotel model onto properties that operate differently.

The Team Behind Propeter

Hospitality operators, revenue management experts, and AI engineers — united by a shared frustration with the status quo.
