Scandinavia’s hotel chain First Hotels has partnered with SaaS company RateGain Technologies for AI-enabled competitive intelligence and rate parity solutions.

RateGain will provide First Hotels with AI-driven competitive pricing insights besides maintaining the price parity across various OTAs and third-party booking platforms.

The hotel chain has been looking for a comprehensive solution, which enables its revenue management team to make daily pricing decisions while effectively monitoring the market.
