Inntopia launches YieldView, a yield management system for activities, lift tickets and more.
Inntopia today announced the launch of YieldView, a new feature of the Inntopia.IBE, e-commerce platform. YieldView gives activity companies, spas, ground transport providers, and resorts a powerful tool for maximizing yield on their product sales. The new feature allows providers to use the same type of pricing strategies that have been practiced by airlines and hotels for years.
Website visitors can view pricing, discounts, and availability on a simple calendar screen, and commit to their dates in advance.

“Ski resorts have become increasingly sophisticated with their pricing strategies,” says Trevor Crist, Inntopia CEO. “Several of our partner resorts have been asking for enhanced yielding tools, and so we have responded to those needs with this new offering.” Crist notes that several ski resorts and online ticket resellers have committed to using the YieldView feature for sales of lift tickets and other resort products for this upcoming ski season. Other providers are also adopting the solution.
