Juniper Room Mapping
Optimize the results of accommodation searches, offering all room and board type combinations without duplicates!
¿What is Room Mapping?
Room Mapping is a module of the Juniper Booking Engine that analyzes the rooms returned by the different suppliers and identifies the ones that are identical, unifying them to show each hotel and room type only once.
What solution does it offer?
In the B2B tourist distribution there are a large number of XML connections, with multiple suppliers distributing the same product.
Inevitably, searches for accommodation often yield results that lead to confusion, with excessive options and the same rooms repeated with different names and prices.
Room Mapping facilitates to your clients the different combinations of room type, conditions and board types available per hotel without duplicates (prioritizing the results by price). In this way, you increase the conversion ratio.
How does it work?
Steps:
- Data collection: the system collects in a database the product information sent by the suppliers, storing the names of the rooms.
- Batch process : the system reads and analyzes the names of the rooms (which have different names according to each provider) and their details. After a recognition process, create the unique codes called JR (Juniper Room). These codes identify when several rooms of an accommodation offered by different suppliers are in fact the same, from their coincidence in the following parameters:
- Room type
- Board Type
- Cancellation policy
- Extras and conditions
- Room Mapping groups the rooms with identical parameters. Therefore, if the room is the same but any other element of the combination varies, grouping will not be performed.
- Results: room Mapping selects the best price combination of each type of room and orders them by price from cheapest to most expensive, returning the cheapest combination of each group to avoid duplicities. You can choose the results you want to see:
- Only mapped rooms
- Also, those not mapped 1 (option to add them to the results):
- All combinations.
- Limit combinations to a maximum number.
- Only the cheapest of each board type.
- *Note: sometimes, a small percentage of rooms may not be mapped because their denomination makes the process difficult. This option allows a revision of the slopes, if any.
