Leveraging granular transaction data and advanced predictive AI, the Profit Platform equips hotel proprietors, managers, and asset supervisors with the capabilities to transcend traditional revenue per available room (RevPAR) and superficial financial indicators.
Kalibri co-founder and CEO Cindy Estis Green said: “At a time when the hospitality industry faces surging expenses and increasing complexity in targeting its business sources, the focus has to shift to getting the revenue that contributes most to profit.
“This is about helping hotels take back control of their performance and shift to a ProfitFirst strategy that aligns with owner priorities.”
The platform has begun to yield quantifiable outcomes, says the company. A select-service hotel that used Kalibri’s Profit Platform has seen a substantial enhancement in its asset valuation, amounting to an increase of $2.24m.
