Revenue Management

Duetto GameChanger

Duetto GameChanger is the pricing and optimisation product within Duetto's wider Revenue and Profit Operating System. It recommends and can automate room prices using demand, booking and market information. ScoreBoard, BlockBuster, Advance, GameTime and HotStats are related Duetto products rather than features that should automatically be assumed to be included with GameChanger.

Independent perspective

Our review

Duetto offers detailed revenue management, with independent pricing by segment, channel and room type. Public reviewers particularly value that flexibility, and the recorded UK examples include an independent group of four hotels. We see its strongest value where a revenue specialist needs more control than a single base rate and a few automatic rules can provide.

Our main reservation is the resource needed to use that depth. Public feedback raises setup and reporting usability, and a smaller hotel may not benefit from the functions it is paying to access. Pricing, minimum terms, notice and exit arrangements were not established in our review. A partner listing also does not, by itself, prove the behaviour of the hotel’s proposed PMS connection.

We would involve the revenue owner in the demonstration, test actual segment and group decisions and confirm the data flowing in both directions. Separate the implementation project from everyday use once the system is configured. The complete quotation should include connection, training and continuing support.

Our verdict

We recommend considering Duetto for mid-sized or larger hotels and groups with dedicated or contracted revenue expertise. It is less suited to a small property whose owner needs a tool that largely runs itself. The additional control should match an established revenue process.

The assessment

What stands out

Strengths

Flexible room pricing. Open Pricing allows rates to move independently by room type, segment and channel instead of relying only on fixed price tiers.

Clear recommendations. Reviewers value being able to see why a price is suggested, which helps revenue, sales and operational teams discuss decisions.

Strong hotel review base. Current product-specific feedback is extensive and positive across independent hotels, groups, resorts, hostels and branded properties.

Different levels of control. Hotels can retain manual approval or use greater automation where their data, process and risk appetite support it.

Worth knowing

This listing covers GameChanger as the core revenue management product. Duetto's forecasting, group optimisation, select-service pricing, market signals and profitability products may be separately contracted. Ask for a module-by-module proposal.

An RMS depends on accurate and timely information from the PMS, CRS and distribution stack. Confirm connections for the exact product versions and required data flows before selection.

Public reviews are strong overall. Recurring cautions include a learning curve for advanced functions, the clarity of some reports or competitor views, individual connection issues and occasional dissatisfaction with support response.

Operational fit

Where it fits

  • Recommend and automate room prices in response to demand and booking pace.
  • Price room types, segments and channels more independently.
  • Explain pricing recommendations so teams can review the reasoning.
  • Reduce repetitive rate-setting work while keeping the chosen level of human control.

Best suited for

Independent hotels, resorts, hostels and hotel groups with an active revenue strategy that want flexible room-type and segment pricing, clear recommendations and controllable automation.

May not suit

Very small properties without enough demand data or staff time to act on revenue recommendations, or hotels whose PMS and distribution connections cannot be confirmed. It is not a PMS and will not replace front desk or reservation operations.
