- Real-time dynamic pricing: Powered by smart algorithms, Atomize RMS continuously monitors market demand, booking patterns, competitor rates and more to automatically adjust room rates in real time
- Granular room level pricing: Hotels can optimize rates down to an individual room type (based on market demand), guest preferences and the perceived value of each room type, leading to more effective revenue optimization
- Multi-property and group pricing capabilities: One centralized platform to enable consistent revenue management for multi-property chains and groups, while accounting for each property's unique market conditions
- Automation and human-control: Atomize combines sophisticated pricing algorithms with the flexibility for hoteliers to guide their pricing strategies

Its real-time rate suggestions allow us to respond instantly to shifting booking patterns, helping us boost RevPAR by 35% for our entire group and saves us about ten hours a week per hotel, totaling fifty hours of time saved each week.
