What happens when a 20-hotel operator treats brand data, RMS outputs, and labor costs as one system—and then points AI at it?
Takeaways:
- Build a single source of truth: How Hospitality America centralizes Amadeus/TravelClick market data, Hilton Grow & Marriott OneYield outputs, and Actabl (ProfitSword + Hotel Effectiveness) in a Microsoft data lake to power faster decisions.
- Make revenue meet labor—down to the penny: Practical ways to pair booking windows, LOS, and mix with staffing models to decide whether to take Group A vs. Group B—and know the profit impact before you say yes.
- Operationalize AI for the field (not HQ): A roadmap for using Microsoft Copilot on top of your own data so GMs can ask, “How many room attendants do I need Saturday?” and get defendable answers—without surrendering human judgment.
