Revenue management

Revenue management for apartments and short-term rentals in Poland

We take over pricing for your apartments. We connect over the API to the system you already run, build rate plans for every unit separately, and from then on rates move by rule - not whenever somebody finds a free evening to open the calendar.

Every apartment priced on its own Booking.com, Airbnb and direct sales 1 500 PLN net - 4 000 PLN net / month
Where the loss comes from

In an apartment, one empty night costs several times more

A forty-room hotel spreads a pricing mistake across forty units. With five apartments the same mistake lands whole on your bank transfer.

Short-term rental rate cards usually have three lines: season, off-season and long weekend. They get set once and stay untouched. That rate is wrong in both directions at once. On dates with demand the apartments sell out two months ahead at last year's price. On dates without demand they stand empty to the end, because nobody moved the rate in time.

Apartments also carry three things a hotel does not. Cleaning costs the same for one night as for seven, so a short stay at a low rate can end up below cost. Two units in the same building sell differently, because the size, the floor and the view are different. And apartment guests book closer to arrival than hotel guests, so there is less time to react.

A room night is a product that spoils at midnight. You cannot sell it later or carry it into next month. That is why with apartments, reacting to what the calendar is doing is worth more than the rate itself.

This is not an argument for discounting. Just as often we raise rates - on the dates the unit would have filled anyway.

When this makes sense

  • You have several units and sell through more than one portal
  • Single nights are left stranded between bookings in season
  • Off-season the apartments stand empty and the rate never moves
  • You do not know how many bookings came in last week
  • You manage other people's units and explain the numbers every month

When it does not

When the apartments sell out months ahead - there is nothing to manage. And when they have no traffic yet: then the problem is visibility, not price, and it is better to start with the website and SEO. We will say so before signing anything.

Scope

What we do with apartments

Six things. The first is one-off, the rest happen every week and every month for as long as we work together.

Connected to your system over the API

We connect to the PMS or channel manager you already run your apartments in. You do not change software, migrate reservations or teach anyone a new panel. Rates reach the channels exactly as before, only our platform sets them.

Rates set per apartment, not per building

Two units in the same building do not sell alike - different size, floor, view and maximum occupancy. Each apartment gets its own rate curve instead of a percentage off one base rate for the whole property.

Minimum stay and the cost of cleaning

Cleaning an apartment costs the same for one night as for seven. We set minimum stay rules and rates so that a short booking on a weak date does not cost you more than it brings in.

Booking.com, Airbnb and direct

Every channel carries a different commission and a different guest. We keep rates aligned between the portals and your own website, and price them so the direct booking is the cheapest for the guest and the most profitable for you.

Weekly pickup report

How many bookings arrived over seven days and for which dates, broken down by apartment. With the short booking window typical of short-term rentals, this is the only moment when reacting still changes anything.

Statements your owners can see for themselves

If you manage units owned by other people, each owner gets access to a panel with their own apartment: revenue, occupancy, channels and costs. No more sending a spreadsheet every month and explaining where the number came from.

If you still type rates into each portal separately, the first step is choosing a tool that connects them. We select and roll out PMS and channel manager systems - a separate service, but without it there is nothing to automate.

Who this is for

Three situations where it pays off

The same service, but the first conversation starts somewhere different in each of them.

Apartment operator

You manage units that belong to somebody else. Your margin depends on what you get out of every night, and the monthly conversation with each owner takes half a day. We run the rates; the owner gets their own access to the numbers.

Owner of a few apartments

You rent out your own units alongside another job, or from another country. You check the calendar in the evening and change rates when you notice a date is empty. From now on the rates work on their own and you get a report instead of alerts.

Aparthotel and condo

Dozens of units in one building, some in the rental programme and some kept by their owners. Here, on top of pricing, what matters is transparency: every owner wants to know why their apartment earned that much and not more.

Running apartments in Poland from abroad

You do not have to be here to know what the calendar is doing

Most of our English-speaking clients own apartments in Poland but spend much of the year somewhere else. That is workable for cleaning and check-ins, which somebody handles locally. It is much harder for pricing, because pricing is a daily decision taken on Polish demand: school holidays, long weekends, a trade fair in the city, the first warm weekend on the Baltic coast.

That local demand is what we read for you. You stay in your own system and your own currency of thinking; we work in the calendar.

We are a small company from Bytow in northern Poland, run by its owner. You talk to the person who does the work, not to an account manager.

What that means in practice

  • We work with you in English, by phone, e-mail and video call
  • Reports come in English, in PDF and in the browser
  • We know the systems used on the Polish market and connect to them
  • We watch Polish demand: holidays, long weekends, local events
  • Rates are set in PLN, because that is what your guests pay in
  • We invoice in PLN, with Polish VAT, to a company anywhere in the EU
Reporting

Every unit on its own line, not one average

Average occupancy across the whole property tells an apartment operator nothing. One unit can carry the entire result while another stands half the season, and the average hides both. So both reports go down to the level of a single apartment.

The weekly report is operational: what came in over seven days and for which dates. With the short booking window of short-term rentals, this is the moment when you can still act.

The monthly report is managerial: it compares the month against the previous one and against the same month a year earlier. Without that second comparison seasonality eats every conclusion - and with apartments by the sea or in the mountains it eats it whole.

The full list of sections in both reports is on the revenue management for hotels page.

What you see per apartment

  • Units sold on every single night
  • Which units earned and which stood empty
  • Best and worst performing apartments
  • Where the revenue came from - channel mix
  • Booking window and length of stay
  • Pace of sales for the months ahead

These are section names from the reports our clients actually receive. They contain no other client's figures, but you see the structure before signing anything.

Two ways to work together

We run the rates, or you get the tool

Two different things, worth separating before you compare the numbers.

Standard model

You hire us

For 1 500 PLN net - 4 000 PLN net per month we run the rates for your apartments and take the decisions: when to push a rate up, when to come down, what minimum stay to set and what to do with a date that is not selling.

You get the reports and the conclusions. Nobody on your side learns a new tool or watches the calendar daily - that is what we are for.

Scope of 10-40 hours per month. With more units we size it individually - tell us how many apartments and channels are in play.

Alternative model

You licence the platform and decide yourself

If you have somebody on the team who wants to work the calendar daily, we can licence our platform to you and train them. The tool then runs on your side and we stay available for support.

Rollout and team training 2 000 PLN net
one-off
Platform licence 500 PLN net
per month

Rollout with training takes about a month. If there is nobody to hand it to, the first model works out cheaper.

Price

1 500 PLN net - 4 000 PLN net per month

Where this fits with the rest

Websites for hotels and apartments

Revenue management works on the demand you already have. If bookings still come almost entirely through portals at 15-18 percent commission, the website is the thing to fix first.

PMS and channel manager consulting

If your current system cannot expose rates over an API, or its channel manager keeps drifting out of sync, that has to be solved before any pricing strategy can hold.
