The Problem

Pricing Without Competitive Intelligence Is Guesswork

Every rate decision you make exists in a competitive context. Without real-time competitive data, you’re always a step behind.

You react to the market instead of anticipating it

📸

You price based on last week's screenshot, not today's reality

📉

Your OTA rankings suffer from parity violations you don't even know exist

Your revenue manager spends hours manually checking competitor rates instead of developing strategy

🤖

Your AI pricing model operates without the market context it needs to be accurate

🏆

Competitors with better intelligence consistently outperform you on compression nights

Competitive intelligence is not a luxury feature. It is the foundational data layer that makes every other pricing decision smarter.

Dual-Source Intelligence

Two Data Sources. One Unified Intelligence Feed.

Propeter’s competitive intelligence is unique because it combines two distinct data acquisition approaches — giving you the most comprehensive competitive view available at any price point.
🏠

Lighthouse Integration

Industry-Standard Rate Data

Native integration with Lighthouse (formerly OTA Insight), the global standard for hotel rate intelligence.

Compset OTA ratesAll major OTA channels for your defined competitive set
Historical rate trends90/180/365 day compset history
Forward rate positioningCompetitors priced for the next 365 days
Rate parity alertsInstant notification when rates fall out of parity
Market demand indicatorsBooking pace and demand level signals for your market

Propeter Web Intelligence Engine

Proprietary Scraping Layer

While Lighthouse provides structured industry data, Propeter's proprietary Web Intelligence Engine extends your competitive visibility further.

Direct website rate scrapingMonitor competitors' own booking engines, not just OTAs
Custom compset expansionAdd boutiques and independents not in standard databases
Promotion & package monitoringDetect competitor promotions before they impact your demand
Availability signal detectionInfer competitor occupancy from availability patterns
Anomaly alertingInstant notification when competitor makes a significant rate move

This dual-layer approach means you have intelligence on both the structured OTA market AND the direct/boutique competitive landscape — a complete picture that no single-source tool can provide.

AI Integration

Competitive Data That Actually Changes Your Prices

Unlike standalone rate shopping dashboards, Propeter’s competitive intelligence is not a reporting tool that sits next to your pricing — it is an active input to your AI pricing engine.

Every 24 hours, the Competitor Intelligence Agent in Revenue Service V2:

1

Ingests latest rate data from both Lighthouse and Web Intelligence Engine

2

Normalizes data across channels, currencies, and room categories

3

Calculates your positioning relative to compset — above, at, or below market

4

Feeds all signals into Demand Forecasting and RevPAR Optimization agents

Features

Full Competitive Intelligence Toolkit

🎯

Compset Management

Define and manage your competitive set with precision. Add up to 20 competitors. Assign weighting by relevance. Update as market conditions change.

📊

Rate Position Dashboard

See your current rate position relative to compset: above, at, or below market — by date, by room type, by channel. Identify rate-pushing opportunity instantly.

🚨

Parity Monitoring & Alerts

Configure parity rules. Propeter monitors all channels in real time and sends instant alerts when a parity violation is detected — before it damages your OTA ranking.

📈

Rate History & Trend Analysis

Review competitor rate evolution over any date range. Identify seasonal patterns, event-driven spikes, and long-term positioning trends per competitor.

🌡️

Market Demand Signals

Booking pace, search volume trends, and occupancy pressure signals give you a real-time read on market demand — independent of your own booking pace.

📅

Event & Compression Detection

The intelligence engine identifies unusual rate clustering — a sign of a compression event (conference, festival, sport) that other hotels are already pricing for.

Use Cases

How Leading Revenue Managers Use Competitive Intelligence

Scenario 1 — Anomaly Alert

Spot a Competitor Going Yield-Up Before It’s Too Late

Your second-largest compset member has pushed rates 30% above their 30-day average for next Friday. Propeter’s anomaly alert fires at 7am. You raise your rates to maintain positioning by 9am — capturing the uplift before your OTA ranking adjusts.

Scenario 2 — Demand Signal

Identify an Unsold Compression Night in Advance

Market occupancy signals suggest a major compression event in 14 days your hotel calendar didn’t capture. Competitors are already 90% full at elevated rates. You begin yield-up strategy 72 hours before your booking pace confirms it.

Scenario 3 — Parity Defense

Defend Rate Parity After a Competitor Price Match

A competitor drops their Booking.com rate to match your flash sale price — triggering a parity issue on your own listing. Propeter’s parity monitor fires within the hour. Your team resolves the disparity before it affects your OTA ranking.

Scenario 4 — Strategic Planning

Plan Q4 Pricing Using 12-Month Compset History

Your revenue manager pulls a 12-month compset rate trend for the December/January holiday window. They see exactly how competitors priced last year, where you under- or over-indexed, and use that as the baseline for this year’s strategy.

You Cannot Win a Race If You Cannot See the Track

Real-time competitive intelligence is the difference between reactive and proactive revenue management.
