Taktikon’s way of working
We help companies clarify desired and future situations. Our working method is according to the PDCA method. This is a continuous process; make a plan, change, check, adjust, and start planning again
Plan: we start with an analysis of the current situation; how is Revenue Management used today, what key metrics are measured, what works well, what can be better, what are the challenges and can these be influenced?
Do: the next step is to test our findings in real life. We make small changes and see what the result is, after which more improvements are made.
Check: Taktikon makes constant checks to ensure that improvements always are tested with reality.
Adjust: what worked well and can be improved, what did not work too well, and why?
Step 1: Revenue Management Audit
Before starting a Revenue Outsourcing project, we always perform a market analysis where we see how we can best optimize results. A Revenue Management audit can include the following ingredients:
- Price vs Review Score Analysis
- OTA performance report
- Market Mix Analysis
- Benchmarking and Fair Share Report
Step 2: Implementing Revenue Outsourcing
To get started with Revenue Management Outsourcing, Taktikon only needs to have access to the various systems. With many projects across Europe, we know most systems and need no learning.
- Property Management System
- Channel Management System / Central Reservation Systems
- Rate Shopping Tools
- Benchmarking reports
Step 3: We are in the process
Taktikon works after the Revenue Management Wheel, which means that we constantly test and evaluate ourselves. This is how we have become and remain the best at what we do:
Analysis: SWOT analysis, Event affecting demand, Company positioning in the market, customer buying behavior, the outcome of previous sales, and benchmarking reports
Forecast: We predict demand by conducting a market forecast where we take into account events that affect demand, lead times, and customer buying behavior.
Strategy: The analysis and forecast lead us to form the optimal strategy, where we develop the best Price and Distribution strategy and find the optimal sales and marketing activities
Implementation: where we implement our strategy and ensure that it is communicated to the appropriate departments
Analysis: In this step, we analyze the results of our strategies to constantly improve. Was it good? How can we use this information to improve us? Did it get less good? What did we learn from that?
