Let’s be honest for a second.
You didn’t get into the hotel business to become a data entry clerk. You did it to host guests, create experiences, and maybe—just maybe—make a decent living doing it.
But somewhere along the way, the spreadsheets took over.
If you are reading this, you are probably skeptical. You hear “AI” and “Algorithms” and you think: “Great, another expensive tech toy that I don’t have time to learn.”
We get it. But we aren’t here to sell you a toy. We are here to help you fire your spreadsheets.
The Spreadsheet Trap
It usually starts the same way. It’s 11 PM. The lobby is finally quiet. And there you are, staring at a grid of tiny numbers, trying to remember if you updated the rates for the local festival next month.
You have a “system,” sure. It involves three different Excel sheets, a calculator, and a lot of gut feeling.
For years, this worked. It felt safe. It felt like control.
But in reality? It’s a trap.
While you are manually updating one cell, the market has already changed three times.
The Real Cost of “Gut Feeling”
The problem isn’t just the headache; it’s the invisible cost.
Every time you set a flat rate for the season because you don’t have time to adjust it daily, you leave money on the table.
Every time you panic-drop prices because the hotel down the street did, you devalue your brand.
This is the reality of Hotel Revenue Management today. The big chains aren’t guessing. They have armies of data scientists. You have… a hunch?
That is not a fair fight. And honestly, it’s costing you thousands of Euros a year in lost revenue.
The Solution: Automation in Plain English
This is where Aries enters the chat. And no, it’s not magic. It’s not a robot coming to take your job.
Think of Aries RMS (our Revenue Management System) as a really, really fast assistant who never sleeps.
Here is how Dynamic Pricing actually works with Aries:
- It Watches: Aries looks at your booking pace, your competitors’ prices, and local demand 24/7.
- It Calculates: It does the math instantly. “Hey, demand is high for next Tuesday, let’s bump the rate by €12.” or “It’s a slow Tuesday, let’s drop it slightly to fill those empty rooms.”
- It Suggests: You get a simple recommendation. You click “Approve.” Done.
That’s it.
One of the biggest Hotel Tech trends in 2025 isn’t about adding more complexity. It’s about invisible tech. Software that runs in the background so you can get back to the front desk.
The Result: A Day in the Life of a Liberated Hotelier
Let’s look at a hypothetical scenario. Let’s call him Hans.
Hans runs a 45-room hotel in Bavaria. Before Aries, Hans spent his mornings stressing over OTA extranets, trying to match prices.
Now?
Hans drinks his coffee. He logs into Aries. He sees the dashboard has already analyzed the market overnight.
Aries suggests raising rates for the upcoming holiday weekend because bookings are surging faster than usual. Hans clicks “Accept.”
Total time spent: 4 minutes.
Hans knows his prices are competitive. He knows he isn’t leaving money on the table. And most importantly, he has the mental space to actually talk to his guests at breakfast.
Stop Guessing. Start Thriving.
You don’t need a PhD in data science to run a profitable hotel. You just need tools that work as hard as you do.
We built Aries Software to be the David to your Goliath. We strip away the complexity so you can focus on what matters: hospitality.
Your spreadsheets might miss you. But we promise, you won’t miss them.
