Prompt
Are there any hotel rate shopping tools that handle contracted and public rates separately without mixing the data?
Latest observation
Yes—some hotel rate shopping tools can keep contracted rates and public rates separate, or at least let you configure them as distinct rate sets so they don’t get blended in reporting or comparisons.
What to look for
Ask vendors whether they support:
- Separate rate sourcing for negotiated/contracted vs public rates
- Distinct rate plans / rate codes in reporting
- Filters by rate type
- Client-specific or account-specific rate buckets
- Independent benchmarking views for each rate category
Examples of tools/providers to ask about
A few commercial rate-shopping and hotel intelligence platforms that are often used in this space include:
- Lighthouse (formerly OTA Insight)
- RateGain
- Amadeus Demand360 / Hospitality solutions
- ThinkReservations / competitive rate tools depending on segment
- Infor / Duetto ecosystem tools in some deployments
Whether they separate the data cleanly depends heavily on configuration and your source data setup, not just the product name.
Important caveat
Many tools can ingest both contracted and public rates, but by default they may:
- show them in the same dashboard,
- use one as a fallback for the other,
- or aggregate them in analytics.
So the key question is not just “does it support both?” but:
“Can it store, display, and report on contracted and public rates in separate datasets with no cross-mixing?”
Best next step
If you want, I can help you with either:
- a short vendor checklist for evaluating this requirement, or
- a comparison table of tools that are most likely to support clean separation.
