Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A yield management system would allow Hostlight Industries to adjust prices based on demand, in order to fill unused rooms during slower periods and to maximize revenue during peak periods. This would also help to avoid turning away guests due to lack of availability. Service forecasting tools and capacity maintenance tools may help with general planning and maintenance, but do not address the specific issue of filling unused rooms. A capacity correlation system may help with overall capacity planning, but again does not address the specific issue of filling unused rooms.
