The Challenge
Optimizing Pricing and Revenue
The team at Koloa Kai faced challenges in optimizing their pricing and revenue. Linda Sylvester, Business Development & Senior Strategic Advisor, spent hours sifting through data and updating pricing. She described the intensive manual labor required: "It just took away probably 20 hours a week of work going on Vrbo, going on Airbnb, trying to see the demand and supply."
The company's approach needed a change to keep up with fluctuating market demands and maximize revenue efficiently.
"I realized that manual methods for pricing and revenue management were no longer effective. I needed a tried-and-true solution with better data access than I could obtain. After evaluating various options and costs, I chose Beyond for its superior reputation for having the best features available at the time.”

The Solution
The Koloa Kai team turned to Beyond for a comprehensive pricing and revenue management solution. Jed Stevens, General Manager and Co-Founder, had heard of Beyond and decided to give it a try in 2021. Faced with the ups and downs posed by the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, he sought an effective tool to help his business. After test-driving a few solutions, he ultimately chose Beyond.
"I realized that manual methods for pricing and revenue management were no longer effective due to the pandemic's disruption. I needed a tried-and-true solution with better data access than I could obtain. After evaluating various options and costs, I chose Beyond for its superior reputation for having the best features available at the time,” said Jed.
Beyond provided Koloa Kai with a robust, data-driven approach to pricing. Plus, their onboarding experience was seamless, including integrating Beyond with their property management system, LiveRez.
“With access to Beyond’s pricing and market data tools, we can fully customize and maximize the value for each individual property, not just make minor adjustments. It allows us to tailor our revenue strategies for each property, and for me, that's huge," said Jed.
