Duetto for Visual Matrix Users

Duetto is a revenue strategy platform designed to help hotels make smarter pricing and inventory decisions using real-time data and predictive analytics. When connected to Visual Matrix PMS, Duetto becomes a powerful tool for managing rates and demand while Visual Matrix handles distribution and operational execution. This article provides a high-level overview of Duetto and explains its role within the Visual Matrix ecosystem. It is intended to help users understand what Duetto does, why it integrates with Visual Matrix, and where responsibilities are divided between systems.



Overview: What Is Duetto?

Duetto is a cloud-based Revenue Management System (RMS) that helps hotels optimize pricing strategies by analyzing demand patterns, market conditions, and booking behavior.

Duetto supports:
- Dynamic pricing based on demand signals,
- Forecasting and performance analytics,
- Automated rate recommendations,
- Strategy management across room types and channels.
Notes
Rather than focusing on day-to-day distribution, Duetto is designed to guide pricing decisions that maximize revenue.

Duetto’s Role Within Visual Matrix

When Duetto is connected to Visual Matrix PMS, each system plays a distinct role:
- Duetto acts as the pricing and revenue strategy engine,
- Visual Matrix PMS serves as the system of record and distribution hub.

Duetto determines what rates should be, while Visual Matrix is responsible for:
- Storing rates and availability,
- Managing reservations and inventory,
- Distributing updates to connected channels and OTAs.
Notes
This separation ensures that revenue strategy and operational execution remain aligned without overlapping responsibilities.
