About
Wheelhouse is a powerful revenue and growth engine designed specifically for short and mid-term rental operators, property managers, and scaling hospitality businesses. The platform provides a full suite of tools to optimize pricing, analyze performance, and grow rental portfolios efficiently. At its core, Wheelhouse offers dynamic pricing that uniquely combines rule-based and data-driven strategies — the first platform of its kind to support both simultaneously. With 15+ adjustable settings, operators can fine-tune how the pricing engine handles any day, event, season, or market scenario, all at scale across 1 to 1,000+ listings. The Dynamic Sets feature lets users group and segment listings intelligently, surfacing context-rich insights that inform pricing, owner communications, acquisitions, and merchandising strategies. The Performance Analytics module enables operators to slice, segment, layer, and compare data across their portfolio for rapid, nuanced decision-making and benchmarking. Wheelhouse's Reports & Snapshots tool allows users to create polished, shareable performance reports combining charts, metrics, and commentary — exportable as PDFs or published as interactive snapshots for team and client alignment. The Navigator tool adds a geospatial layer of insights, helping operators discover new revenue and growth opportunities at a market level. Additional capabilities include A/B performance comparisons, granular team access controls (admin, editor, viewer), segment-based pricing strategies, and in-context pricing builders. Wheelhouse is designed to help rental businesses increase revenue by up to 20% and is trusted by modern hospitality operators worldwide.
