By default, the Performance Dashboard displays data for the next 90 days based on Arrival Date.
Dashboard KPI Indicators
The Performance Summary dashboard provides you with a overview of your performance in terms of Booking and Revenue over time on the Hotel Trader Exchange.
Each KPI provides a comparison of your current performance with the previous year or projected future dates.
KPI | Description |
---|---|
Revenue | Represents the total room revenue generated from the guest room sales. |
Room Nights | The number of nights sold in a specific time period. It is calculated by multiplying one room times one night. |
Average Daily Rate (ADR) | The average daily rate (ADR) indicates the average revenue earned for an occupied room on a given day. It is calculated by dividing the room nights from the Revenue amount. |
Lead Time | Average Lead Time is the time between making a reservation and actually arriving at the property. |
Length of Stay | Length of stay is the average number of nights per booking. |
Cancellation Rate | Percent of bookings canceled. |
Travel Buyers | Count of Travel Buyers who are selling your rooms for the chosen duration. |
Hotel Performance Summary
See how your property is performing and identify areas for action.
Revenue Performance by Week of Booking

- What you see: Your weekly booking revenue (blue line) and your Alignment Score (orange dotted line) — a measurement of how competitive your prices are in the market.
- Why it matters: Properties with an Alignment Score above 85% generate more revenue and experience fewer cancellations.
- What to do: When your score drops, review your rates in the Alignment Dashboard to maintain competitiveness and protect revenue.
Booking Pace by Month of Check-In
- What you see: Booking momentum for this year month by month compared to last year.
- Your controls:
- Metrics – Switch between:
- Revenue – Total booking revenue.
- Room Nights – Total nights booked.
- ADR (Average Daily Rate) – Average price per night.
- Pickup Days – Lead time before check-in.
- View Options – Toggle between Chart for trends and Table for detailed numbers.
- Metrics – Switch between:
- What to do: Use the chart to identify performance gaps early, compare with last year's results, and take appropriate action — adjust rates, create promotions, or focus marketing efforts to stimulate demand.
How to Interpret
- Revenue: If this year's line falls below last year's for upcoming months, you risk underperforming — consider implementing promotions or adjusting rates.
- Room Nights: When bookings lag behind last year, occupancy may decrease; examine your availability and demand drivers.
- ADR: A lower ADR than last year suggests excessive discounting; if ADR is higher but bookings are slow, your prices might be too high.
- Pickup Days: Shorter lead times indicate last-minute bookings; longer lead times suggest strong future demand or early discount strategies.

What you see:
This section shows your top 10 performers across three key dimensions:

- Click on a rate code to discover which clients and room types use that plan most.
- Click on a room type to identify which clients and rate codes book it most frequently.
Why it matters:
- Quickly identify which combinations of clients, rate plans, and room types generate the most revenue.
- Spot upsell opportunities (e.g., when a client consistently books lower-category rooms).
- Identify where to focus promotions or adjust pricing to maximize yield.
What to do:
- Use the interactive filtering to focus on specific clients, rate plans, or room types.
- Identify patterns and mismatches (e.g., a popular rate plan that's underutilized by a key client).
- Adjust your rate strategy or marketing campaigns to capture more revenue from your most profitable combinations.
See how competitive your direct rates are and take action to improve them.
The Alignment Score Dashboard gives you a focused view of your hotel’s price competitiveness over time. It helps you understand how often travel buyers find your direct rates aligned with or better than third-party rates in the B2B marketplace.
Hotel Trader’s unique Alignment Score measures a travel buyer’s ability to buy directly from you.
The Alignment Score Dashboard is a key part of Hotel Trader's commitment to transforming the travel industry through transparency, self-serve controls, and data-driven insights.
Here's a breakdown of the key components you'll find on the dashboard:
- Alignment Score over Time
- Alignment score by Rate Shop Date
- Alignment Score by Length of Stay
- Alignment Score by Lead Days
Alignment Score over Time
See how your Alignment Score has changed over time and understand the impact of pricing differences across channels.
What you see:
- Alignment Score by Month of Check-In – Shows how closely your rates align with third-party channels for upcoming months.
- Green bars (70%–100%): You’re in good shape — buyers are likely to choose your direct rate.
- Yellow bars (60%–70%): Some room for improvement.
- Red bars (0%–60%): Your direct rate is often higher than what buyers find elsewhere.
- Rate Gap % by Month of Check-In – Displays the percentage difference between your lowest available rate and other B2B channel rates. A smaller gap means stronger competitiveness.
How to interpret:
- High Alignment + Low Rate Gap = Your direct pricing is competitive — keep it up.
- Low Alignment + High Rate Gap = You may be losing bookings to cheaper third-party offers.
Tip:
Hotels with Alignment Scores above 85% typically see over 120% revenue growth from improved visibility and buyer preference.

Alignment Score by Rate Shop Date
Track how your price competitiveness changes each day based on rate shop activity.
What you see:
- A daily trend line of your Alignment Score over the last 45 days.
- Below the chart, a comparison table showing Alignment % and Rate Gap % for each date.
How to interpret:
- Look for steady improvement in your Alignment Score — it shows consistent competitiveness.
- Large daily drops can indicate sudden undercutting by third parties or outdated rate updates.
Alignment Score by Length of Stay
Understand how pricing competitiveness changes for stays of different lengths.
What you see:
- Bars showing Alignment % for stays from 1 to 5 nights.
How to interpret:
- Short stays (1–2 nights) often represent high-demand bookings — maintaining strong alignment here maximizes quick conversions.
- Longer stays (3–5 nights) with low alignment could signal rate parity gaps or outdated long-stay discounts.
Action: Adjust long-stay pricing or apply targeted promos to close gaps and improve alignment.
Alignment Score by Lead Days
See how your competitiveness changes depending on how far in advance bookings are made.

Hover over the bars to see a breakdown of Alignment % by length of stay brackets.
What you see:
- Alignment % grouped by lead time ranges — 0–7, 8–30, 31–90, 91–180, and 181–360 days.
How to interpret:
- 0–30 days: Low scores here indicate you’re losing last-minute bookings — consider short-term promos.
- 31+ days: If alignment drops for future months, your advanced rates may be too high or not refreshed frequently enough.
Action: Use this insight to fine-tune advance booking rates and stay aligned across all lead-time segments.
