The highly configurable PROS O&D Solutions™ are revenue management tools for the airline industry. They provide significant incremental revenue benefits over traditional leg/segment solutions. Airlines that implement the PROS O&D solutions have a major advantage over competitors with traditional leg-based RM solutions.
Origin-destination revenue management is a philosophy of managing your airline business—now you manage the way customers want to fly, rather than the way your airline flies its routes. With PROS O&D, you can review network flows and perform detailed flight analysis to improve revenue streams. As part of the migration to full origin-destination control, you can start with the PROS O&D II solution, which provides network optimization, O&D fare evaluation, and origin-destination price-availability controls. This solution provides the incremental revenue benefits of an O&D solution. Once RM analysts and managers are comfortable with origin-destination control, you can migrate to the PROS O&D III solution, a state-of-the art, PNR-based demand forecasting and dynamic programming network optimization solution. The PROS O&D solutions have generated significant revenue lift at some of the world's leading airlines.
PROS O&D solutions provide powerful tools to address airline revenue-critical challenges, including:
- Aligning the Revenue Management department with the network planning, pricing and sales departments
- Maximizing revenue opportunity for major hub-based or network-oriented airlines
- Determining the optimal fare mix to maximize revenue and yield performance
- Managing price-availability requests at the point-of-sale level
The PROS O&D solutions seamlessly integrate with other PROS solutions. Price-availability controls are implemented and reviewed in PROS RTDP. In addition, information can be passed between the PROS O&D solutions and the PROS GRMS, PROS O&D Cargo, and the PROS NRPS solutions for revenue optimization across all areas of the airline's network. In addition, the PROS O&D solutions are fully integrated with the PROS Analytics for Airlines, which provides powerful decision support capabilities to the RM analyst.
