How to edit your competitor settings (compset) in Atomize RMS by Mews

You edit your competitor settings (compset) in Atomize RMS by Mews to compare your property’s pricing against similar properties in your market. You can manage this directly in Atomize, unless your property uses a Lighthouse subscription. In that case, you need to update your competitor data in Lighthouse and then inform Mews Support.

 

If your property uses a Lighthouse subscription

If your property has a Lighthouse account, you need to edit your competitor set in Lighthouse first.

1. Open your Lighthouse account and make the changes.
2. Email [email protected], and include:
• A summary of the updates you made.
• Confirmation that the data in Lighthouse is now up to date.

 

Note: The Mews RMS Support team cannot apply the changes in Atomize until you send this confirmation.

 

If your property does not use a Lighthouse subscription

If your property does not have a Lighthouse subscription, you can edit your competitor set up directly in Atomize. In the Edit Competitors feature in Atomize:

• Add or remove competitor properties: Minimum 1, maximum 5
• Choose the OTA source for price data: Booking.com or Expedia
• Choose the rate type: Refundable or Non-Refundable
• Define the number of guests per room type: 1 guest or 2 guests.

 

Note:

• When you edit your competitors in Atomize the first time, you must link your property to the Mews PMS rate shopping provider to ensure the connection is correct.
• If your competitor list has more than 5 entries before May 2025, the existing set remains unchanged until you update it manually.

 

To edit your competitor set in Atomize RMS by Mews, if you do not use a Lighthouse subscription:

1. In Atomize, Click Settings > Competitor settings.
2. Click Edit Competitors.
3. Enter a property name in the Search and select competitors field.
4. Click the property in the list to select it.

 

 

Note:

• You can add up to 5 competitors.
• To remove a competitor, delete everything in the field, or click X next to the name. The order of competitors does not affect pricing.
• If a competitor is missing from the list, you can create a support ticket via the Mews Digital Assistant.

 

5. Click to select where the Atomize system should retrieve rate data from:

• • Booking.com
  • Expedia

 

Note: Atomize uses this to fetch competitor pricing.

 

6. Click to select a rate type:

• • Show only refundable rates

  • Show lowest available rate (including non-refundable) 

 

Note: Atomize always shows the lowest available rate. This selection only affects the comparison view in Atomize.

 

7. For each room type, select:

• • 1 guest
  • 2 guests

 

Note: You can set a different guest number for each room type. This helps Atomize generate accurate comparisons in the system.

 

8. Click Save
9. Click Yes, save to confirm.

 

Atomize starts applying your changes. This process takes about 2 hours. During this time:

• Your current competitor set stays active.
• You cannot make any further changes.
• Atomize shows a message that updates are in progress.

 

Once updates finish, your new competitors appear on the Competitor settings page along with their room types.

 

Note: To compare accurately:

1. Map your room types in Atomize against the ones on the online travel agency.
2. Then map those to each competitor’s room types.
