RateGain Launches Smart ARI: World’s First AI-Powered Hotel Distribution Engine

On April 30, 2025, RateGain Travel Technologies Ltd., a Noida-based global provider of AI-driven SaaS solutions for the travel and hospitality industry, announced the launch of Smart ARI. This is the world’s first AI-powered ARI (Availability, Rates, and Inventory) management engine designed to help hotels send real-time ARI updates while cutting infrastructure costs for distribution partners.

Why It Matters 

According to a 2024 report by HEDNA and NYU SPS, which covered over 11,000 hotel properties, 67% of hotels struggle with updating rates and inventory across platforms. Additionally, 72% face challenges in monitoring rate parity. As hotel distribution becomes more complex, there’s a growing need for faster, more accurate systems. Current ARI processes are often slow and inefficient, requiring full data refreshes even for minor changes—leading to system slowdowns, increased costs, and booking errors.

How Smart ARI Works 

Smart ARI uses artificial intelligence to filter out outdated and unnecessary data in real-time. It sends only the most current and relevant updates to hotels and their distribution partners. This reduces data overload, ensures better accuracy, and improves the speed of updates. Hotels can manage rates, restrictions, and availability more efficiently, respond quicker to market changes, and avoid overbookings.

Benefits for Hotels and Partners

• For Hotels: Improved rate accuracy, fewer errors, lower costs, and less manual work.

• For Distribution Partners: Up to 30% less redundant data traffic, faster processing, fewer booking errors, and better performance on platforms like OTAs.

Bhanu Chopra, Founder & Chairman of RateGain, said that Smart ARI is a game-changer for hotel distribution. It tackles a long-standing issue and offers a smart, scalable solution that benefits both hotels and distribution platforms.

Smart ARI is now available to all hotels using RateGain’s connectivity platform and is already showing strong results across global markets.
