How to configure Autopilot in Mews RMS

Mews RMSMews Operations

 

You configure Autopilot when you want Mews RMS to automatically accept price recommendations. As a revenue manager or property team member, you use Autopilot to reduce manual work and keep pricing updated based on demand. You typically configure Autopilot during setup or when adjusting your pricing strategy. You manage Autopilot in Mews Operations, from the Pricing screen under Revenue. This lets pricing stay optimized around the clock, even when you are not actively monitoring recommendations. Note that Autopilot does not apply to stay dates that have a fixed price override.
