Abstract: A revenue management system comprising a first revenue management route which includes a forecast module and an optimization module and which calculates expected revenue for sales of inventor items based on historical data; a second revenue management route which is selected if the confidence in the forecasting in the first route is below a predetermined value.

Abstract: A process for determining the number of available transport seats in a computerized reservation system, which includes elements for storing data on services that provide transportation between two locations and their current reservation status, broken down by class of service, a process in which, at a predefined level of expected revenue, a number of seats available locally for a given class of service of a transport service is determined. The following process are carried out: selection of at least one other class of service of a transport service; determination of the number of seats available locally for the class of service of the transport service, at the predefined level of expected revenue; determination of an overall number of seats available for the class of service of the transport service at the predefined level of expected revenue as a function of the different numbers of seats available locally.

Abstract: A method of revenue management of an inventory of items in order to optimize the availability of one or several item(s) requested by a user, method comprising the steps of calculating an online estimate of a first element associated with the request; calculating an online estimate of a second element associated with the request; comparing the estimate of the first and second element to determine whether or not requested items can be granted to the requestor. The optimized calculations take place in real time and are handled by a single on-line system that does not need to rely on uploads of recommendations from an external off-line optimization system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for building a revenue database of an airline company comprising revenue information for all electronic tickets involving the airline, wherein said method includes the steps of: upon issuance and/or update of electronic tickets, collecting said tickets in real time from the airline's electronic ticket server; based on the fare information of the collected tickets and a prorating algorithm, obtaining in real time the prorated value for each coupon of said tickets; storing said prorated coupon values in a revenue database in real time, whereby said prorated coupon values constitute elementary revenue information units which can be made available for further processing steps.
