Question 1

Does Nokumo include competitor rate tracking or rate intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Nokumo includes rate intelligence reports showing your positioning against comp set rates pulled from public OTA rates. You can set automated rate rules based on occupancy thresholds — for example, apply a 15% uplift when occupancy for a date exceeds 80%. Rules apply across all channels simultaneously.

Question 2

How quickly does a rate change push to all connected OTAs?

Accepted Answer

Rate changes go live across all connected channels within 60 seconds. The Nokumo channel manager uses real-time push — not batch jobs or scheduled syncs. Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, and 57 additional OTAs update simultaneously.

Question 3

Can I apply different rate rules per distribution channel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nokumo supports per-channel markup or discount rules, minimum-stay restrictions per channel, stop-sell per channel, and blackout dates. The direct booking engine is priced independently of OTA rates and can always be set to match or undercut.

Question 4

Does Nokumo support yield rules per room type?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rate plans, yield rules, and minimum-stay restrictions are configurable at the room-type level. You set different base rates, derived rate plans, and seasonal restriction rules for each room type independently — standard rooms and suites can have completely different yield strategies.

Question 5

How do I account for OTA commission when setting rates?

Accepted Answer

Price channels independently: OTA rates can carry the 15–20% commission while direct rates stay lower but net the same — or stay equal and let direct win on margin. Per-channel rate rules make the commission math explicit in the rate structure rather than an afterthought.

Question 6

Can I build an early-bird and last-minute rate strategy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Derived rate plans express early bird and last-minute prices as offsets (−15%, +30%) from a parent plan, auto-recalculating whenever the base moves. Promo codes add targeted discounts for specific segments without touching public rates. Because variants inherit, a base-rate correction fixes the whole family at once.

Question 7

How do local events get priced in?

Accepted Answer

Event rules override the seasonal baseline for specific windows — a festival weekend, a congress, a regatta — and apply across all channels in one action. Combined with the 365-day horizon, next year's event calendar prices today instead of week-of.

Question 8

Where do I see direct versus OTA mix?

Accepted Answer

Channel-mix reporting breaks bookings down per channel, so the shift toward direct is measured per period, not guessed. Since direct bookings carry no commission, the mix number translates directly into margin recovered. Watch the mix number monthly; it is the clearest single indicator of margin recovered.

Question 9

Does dynamic pricing require revenue-management expertise to operate?

Accepted Answer

No. Pre-built Adriatic seasonality calendars and occupancy rules provide the baseline strategy; you tune thresholds rather than build models from scratch. The 8% uplift and 90% time-saving figures describe the out-of-box experience, not a power-user configuration.

Every OTA booking costs you 15–20%. Direct bookings don't.
