What is Wheelhouse?
Wheelhouse is a revenue management and dynamic pricing software designed for the short-term rental market. It utilizes machine learning and extensive market data to analyze factors like demand, seasonality, local events, and competitor pricing.
The platform's primary function is to recommend and automatically update a property's nightly rates. This helps hosts and property managers maximize their revenue and occupancy by responding to real-time market conditions.

How it works
A host connects their property listing(s) from a property management system, such as through a Lodgify integration, or directly from an OTA to the Wheelhouse platform. The software imports the property's data and analyzes it against its proprietary market data, which includes billions of data points.
Based on this analysis, Wheelhouse generates a pricing strategy, suggesting optimal nightly rates for up to 24 months in advance. Hosts can then review these suggestions, customize the strategy with their own rules—such as minimum stays or last-minute discounts—and authorize Wheelhouse to automatically sync these rates to their connected calendars daily.
Why it matters
Manually adjusting prices to reflect real-time market fluctuations is time-consuming and prone to error for hosts and property managers. Tools like Wheelhouse automate this complex process, helping to eliminate guesswork and capture the highest possible revenue for every available night.
This data-driven approach allows properties to stay competitive, improve occupancy rates, and increase profitability without requiring constant manual oversight of pricing. See the official website for current details.
Examples
- A host in Miami uses Wheelhouse to automatically increase prices for their beachfront condo during a major music festival they were unaware of, capturing significantly higher revenue.
- A property manager with 20 cabins in the Smoky Mountains notices a mid-week slump in future bookings. They use Wheelhouse's customization settings to apply a targeted discount for Tuesday and Wednesday stays, which helps fill those gaps without lowering weekend rates.
- During an unexpected slow period, Wheelhouse's algorithm automatically lowers the nightly rate for a San Francisco apartment, making it more attractive than competitors and securing a last-minute booking that would have otherwise been a vacant night.
- A host setting up a new listing is unsure how to price it. They connect the property to Wheelhouse, which provides a data-backed base price and projects a full pricing calendar for the next year, giving them a solid starting point.
