Dubai—May 6, 2026 — IDeaS, a SAS company and the world’s leading provider of AI-powered hospitality revenue management software, today introduced Last Room Value (LRV)–powered availability and length‑of‑stay decisions within Stayntouch’s Best‑in‑Class cloud property management system (PMS). This enhancement brings advanced revenue decision-making within reach for lean teams across independent hotels and growing portfolios. In a time of shifting demand and economic uncertainty, LRV helps hotels confidently decide which bookings to accept as availability tightens, so remaining rooms are reserved for stays that deliver meaningful total value, without adding complexity or manual work for commercial teams.
In today’s environment, many hotel teams are being asked to do more with less. For leaner teams in particular, managing pricing and inventory decisions alongside daily operations can be a constant challenge. LRV helps bridge that gap by streamlining the execution of pricing and inventory strategies, so teams can focus on running their business and delivering great guest experiences.
Powered by IDeaS’ industry-leading revenue management system (RMS), LRV dynamically calculates a value‑based rate hurdle for a hotel’s final available rooms within each category. As availability tightens, the system evaluates each incoming booking against that value to help hotels confidently accept the right business and avoid leaving revenue on the table. Importantly, this happens behind the scenes, without requiring constant oversight or manual rule-setting.
Now available directly within Stayntouch’s PMS through availability and length‑of‑stay controls, LRV gives smaller and midsized hotel operators access to the kind of intelligent decision-making typically reserved for large enterprise brands. By tracking sold rooms in Stayntouch and applying delta changes from IDeaS, the PMS supports more responsive execution of IDeaS’ dynamic LRV functionality. The result is more consistent performance, less reliance on rigid, manually set controls like blanket minimum length of stay rules, and greater peace of mind for hotel teams.
Additional key benefits include:
- Optimizes total booking value, not just nightly rate, by aligning pricing and availability decisions
- Confidence in every booking decision as demand fluctuates
- Reduces manual work, freeing up staff to focus on guests versus spreadsheets
- More flexible inventory management without overreliance on restrictive rules
- Built-in protection for high-value rooms, even when teams are off the clock
Klaus Kohlmayr, Chief Evangelist and Development Officer, IDeaS, said: “Today’s hoteliers are operating in a world where conditions can change overnight. Last Room Value gives them a safety net, ensuring they’re supported in making the best possible revenue decisions in the moment, without needing deep expertise or constant attention. By bringing LRV directly into Stayntouch’s PMS, we’re making sophisticated revenue optimization both accessible and practical for hotels of all sizes.”
Nicki Dehler, SVP of Product, Stayntouch, said: “We’re excited to partner with IDeaS to bring their powerful Last Room Value capabilities directly into our cloud PMS. With LRV, hotel operators from independent properties to large portfolios can make smarter pricing and availability decisions, helping them maximize revenue without sacrificing the guest experience. This partnership is another step in our ongoing effort to expand integrations across the hospitality ecosystem, giving hoteliers more flexibility and control over how they run their properties.”
