Pricesthatwork while you sleep
Rumy is that revenue manager. Its pricing engine weighs your booking pace against SA public holidays, school terms, local festivals, the weather and more, then sets the right price for every room, every night, automatically. More full rooms in quiet weeks, better rates in busy ones.
Meet Ruby
Ruby is your assistant. Just talk to her the way you would a person. Ask her to add a room, lock a weekend for a wedding, or tell you why tonight costs what it does, and it is done. No menus to hunt through.
Tell Rumy about your place
Your rooms, your lowest and highest acceptable prices, your town. Five minutes, once. That is the whole setup.
Connect once, sell everywhere
With Rumy Connect your rates go straight to Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia. Already on Cloudbeds or Beds24? Connect those instead. One link, then every channel stays in sync.
Go live your life
Rumy reprices every room, every night, and emails you a monthly summary of what it did. Lock any date yourself, any time.
One tool, every booking site
Most owners juggle a pricing tool and a separate channel manager. Rumy is both. Rumy Connect pushes tonight's price straight to Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and more, so every channel always shows the right rate. Prefer the system you already use? Connect Cloudbeds or Beds24 instead.
