-Open Pricing: Duetto enables fully dynamic, open pricing, which means you have the flexibility to independently price every single segment, channel, room type, and offer to maximize revenue.
-Open Pricing enables you to keep all your OTA channels open instead of closing them off at certain occupancy levels. This allows hotels to continue to have offerings show up through various channels regardless of occupancy or price.

-The Duetto solution promotes and enables collaboration across various departments such as Revenue Management, Sales & Marketing, Distribution, and Operations, as well as across organizational structure including property ownership, property management, and hotel brands.
-All departments log in and share the same data, leveraging valuable intelligence, which allows opportunity for better decision making. Revenue Management can work with Marketing to target campaigns 3-6 months out while there’s still time to address need periods and pull unnecessary offers. This is an example of how the system helps hotels optimize not just revenue, but also customer acquisition costs.
