Has run competitive travel pricing on the Import.io platform.
A rate isn’t a number. It’s a search.
A travel price is a function of stay date, length of stay, occupancy, point of sale, device and loyalty status. Change one and the answer changes. Import.io shops rates the way travellers actually search, across your channels and your competitors’, and tells you where parity broke before the booking goes elsewhere.
The same room has hundreds of prices depending on who asks, from where, for which nights. Rate shopping that ignores point of sale, occupancy or fees compares numbers that were never comparable — and misses the parity breaks that quietly send bookings to a channel you pay commission on.
Demand moves too: a concert, a conference or a cancelled flight changes the market in hours. We capture the rates and the signals together, on a budget planned around the stay dates that matter.

What travel & hospitality teams do with it.
Six programs we run most often in this industry.
Related guidance: rate parity, price intelligence, availability data, reviews and ratings.
Rate shopping
Your rates and your comp set’s, by channel, stay date, length of stay and occupancy, as total price.
ratesParity monitoring
Breaks between direct, OTAs and metasearch detected and alerted, with the evidence captured.
parityDemand and event signals
Events, conferences and ticket prices near your properties, so demand spikes show up before the pickup does.
demandFares and ancillaries
Airline fares, bags and seat fees, car rental and tours by route, date and point of sale.
faresListing rank and content
Where your property ranks on each channel for key searches, and whether its content is right.

maintained datasets
The hard parts, handled.
What breaks when this is done with scripts, and how Import.io handles it.
01
The parameter explosion
Stay dates × lengths of stay × occupancies × points of sale is millions of searches. Budgets are planned around the dates and markets where rates actually move.
02
Point of sale
Requests come from inside each market, so a US traveller’s price and a German traveller’s price are both captured as they are shown.
03
Total price, normalised
Rates, taxes and fees are captured separately and totalled, so nightly and total prices compare fairly across channels.
04
Channel-grade access
OTAs and metasearch run heavy anti-bot defences; rendering, fingerprints and challenges are handled inside the platform.
Three ways to get it.
Same capture engine underneath each one.
Managed rate feeds
Revenue and distribution teams who want rate shops and parity alerts delivered to their RMS or warehouse, under an SLA.

Travel & Hospitality questions.
Straight answers.
Which search parameters can you control?
Stay date, length of stay, occupancy, room type, point of sale, currency and device, per channel.
How many stay dates can you shop?
As many as the program needs; most shop 90 to 365 days forward, with hourly refresh on near dates and daily on the rest.
Do you capture total price including fees?
Yes. Rates, taxes and fees are captured separately and totalled, so channels compare on what the traveller pays.
Can you alert on parity breaks?
Yes. Breaks are detected per property, channel and date, and delivered as alerts with a captured snapshot as evidence.
Do you cover flights and events?
Yes: airline fares and ancillaries by route and point of sale, and event ticket listings from secondary marketplaces.
