Denihan and Affinia Manhattan implemented Duetto Edge, a cloud-based revenue strategy application, and also leveraged Duetto’s Customer Success Team to implement a more comprehensive approach to their revenue strategy.

With easy access to better data they were able to yield higher rates with more confidence, as well as make smarter decisions on length of stay restrictions, group business, distribution channels and more. Additionally, hotel staff was able to easily access the system via a web browser or mobile device, which enabled increased cooperation.
