After deeply analyzing the impact of connectivity on your revenue strategy (PDP vs. OBP) and breaking down the three levels of pricing architecture, today we close the circle.
We move from theory to execution: presenting our increments module. The ultimate tool for your booking engine to stop being a passive price receiver and become a dynamic pricing system, allowing you to control your supplements in real-time without touching your distribution stack.
The dilemma everyone faces
If you manage occupancy supplements (triples, children, single use), you face a dilemma: you either accept the same extra price all year round (losing margin in high season), or you duplicate rates in your PMS (unsustainable operational burden). The increments module ends that false choice: dynamic supplements, configured once, without touching the PMS or the Channel Manager.
Most Channel Managers offer supplements with limited flexibility: they hardly adjust to real demand. The increments module changes that.
What does it do?
The increments module allows you to apply complex rules (by season, rate, board basis, room type, age ranges for children) using exact values ($) or percentages (%). Everything from the Mirai booking engine, without intervention in your distribution stack. Where you have more control and less friction.
For example, a coastal resort hotel, with high seasonality and a mix of occupancies, cannot afford to keep the same triple supplement in August as in November. Every night it would be leaving margin on the table. But it is not a problem exclusive to resorts: any hotel with seasonal variation and fixed supplements has the same gap. The increments module closes it.
Intelligence in the booking engine
Your booking engine now controls your supplements, not the Channel Manager. It intercepts the incoming price, discards generic supplements from the Channel Manager, applies your dynamic rules, and sends the customer the price you decide. The Channel Manager continues to work. But the final price is yours. It doesn’t matter if the price arrives via Channel Manager push or from direct integration with the PMS.
Five ways to gain margin with precision
Mirai has implemented logic based on absolute values ($) or percentages (%) over the base room price to ensure margin.
This precision is no coincidence. It is based on five pillars that ensure total control:
- Dynamic supplements by date and person
What does it solve?: the same extra price all year round.
Configure +$20 in November, +$60 in August. Or percentages: +8% low season, +15% high. Fixed or percentage: you choose. No more lost margin during demand peaks.
- Discounts under base occupancy
What does it solve?: duplicating rates in the PMS or Channel Manager.
Define base occupancy (Double) and apply discounts for lower occupancies (Single Use): -$30 or -20%. From a single configuration point.
- Precision in child age ranges
What does it solve?: generic and imprecise percentages.
Two age ranges: 0–4 years free, 5–11 years +$15 (or +10%). Always calculated on the base price of the room, not on the total occupancy.
- Total granularity
Define different increments by board basis (All Inclusive vs. Bed and Breakfast), typology (Suite vs. Standard), or commercial rules according to rate (Non-Refundable vs. Flexible) without cluttering your inventory.
- Scalability and efficiency
Achieve maximum granularity with minimal operational load: what previously required touching the PMS, Channel Manager, and booking engine simultaneously is now resolved by modifying a single rule in one place. Centralize the strategy: you define the logic, the booking engine executes the calculation.
The visual difference: Static vs. Dynamic
While most Channel Managers operate with flat supplements to avoid saturating the system, Mirai introduces dynamic logic that adapts to real demand.
Democratizing the technology of large chains
Large chains manage supplements with proprietary technology that adjusts prices dynamically without multiplying base rates. That flexibility was always out of reach for the independent hotel. The increments module democratizes it: you have the control of large chains, with the operations of an independent hotel.
Now you decide the margin
Mirai transforms your booking engine into a dynamic pricing system.
Available today over OBP (Occupancy Based Pricing) connectivity and direct integration with Opera Cloud and Mews, or via Channel Manager with Siteminder, Travelclick, and Omnibees. The control you should have always had over your supplements.

Every week in high season with fixed supplements is margin you stop earning. Your account manager can quantify it and help you activate it.
