You can now access associated OTA Links of a listing directly from the settings in a dropdown - OTA Links. These include Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com or even Direct Website links.
Associated Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com listing links are automatically populated for the following PMS integrations (if available) and are currently unable to be modified:
  • Anyplace
  • BrightSide
  • Guesty
  • Hostfully
  • iGMS
  • Jetstream
  • Made Comfy
  • Maui Resort Rentals
  • Natural Retreats
  • Rabbu
  • StayDuvet
  • Veeve
  • Yourrentl
If a different PMS is integrated than the ones listed above and no OTA links are available, you also have the ability to add a specific Airbnb, VRBO or Booking.com link to a listing by:
  1. Clicking the OTA Links dropdown
  2. Selecting “Add Link”
  3. Choosing the Channel and pasting the link
You also have the ability to add Direct Website links by following the same instructions.
For different Teams roles assigned to a listing:
  • Viewers can see the links, but cannot add a new link
  • Editors, Managers and Admins are able to add new links
Please note that an OTA link can only be linked to 1 Wheelhouse listing at a time. If an OTA link is already added to a different listing, you will see an error message when attempting to add.
In addition if a channel listing is inactive, the link will not be added into Wheelhouse.
We’ll be introducing more capabilities here soon making it easier to upload links in bulk, etc.
Historically, the 9-12 month pricing window has proven difficult to price.
Why? During this range of nights, demand signals (prices, bookings, etc.) are often too ‘quiet’ or too ‘noisy’.
Therefore, our data science team has been looking for better ways to protect these nights, particularly to ensure you are never underpriced due to a low data signal.
What’s changing?
  • Wheelhouse has rolled out a more refined modeling approach - which should start better protecting this time period, immediately.
  • Overall, you will see more precise pricing recommendations for the 9-12 month time frame and a reduced need to create explicit, manual far-future rules.
What will happen to my listings with automated dynamic pricing?
  • No need to change anything.
  • You can visit your listings to review your updated recommendations, anytime.
Have large far-future rules in place?
  • We recommend checking any listings with far-future rules in place to make sure you're not too overpriced.
We’re excited to continue improving your Wheelhouse Pricing Engine, and we are looking forward to sharing more major advancements later this year.
The Sales Analysis chart on your Performance page is a powerful tool to visualize performance of your Portfolio, a Segment, a Dynamic Set or even Assigned Listings.
Now, you have the ability to bring Observed Price or Recommended Price overlays into your Sales Analysis chart to better understand the range of prices you see for multiple listings.
As a reminder:
  • Recommended Price will show pricing suggestions from the Wheelhouse Pricing Engine.
  • Observed Price reflects the actual prices currently on OTAs
By comparing the recommended to the observed prices, you can quickly:
  • Identify discrepancies
  • Optimize pricing strategies
  • Understand the impact of the Wheelhouse Pricing Engine
  • Troubleshoot booking issues
To view these new overlays:
  1. Confirm the data is showing at the Daily level.
  2. Then open the Overlay dropdown to select either Observed Price, Recommended Price or both.
For months, our data science team has been researching & testing an approach that results in more precise Base Prices - especially in smaller markets or for large listings, where fewer comparable properties exist.
Your (data-driven) listings can access Wheelhouse’s new Pricing Engine upgrade -
a better Base Price Model
.
To better clarify:
  1. If you
    are
    leveraging Data-Driven Base Prices:
  • Your Base Prices will shift to our new recommendation engine
  • You can now review those changes with our recent release of the new Base Price History view
  1. If you
    are not
    leveraging Data-Driven Base Prices:
  • Nothing will change!
  • However, you are welcome to review your new recommendations
Updates to your Base Price model should now occur in a more consistent, predictable fashion as the new model is better at identifying how attributes of your property (e.g. pools, porches, etc.) play into your optimal Base Price.
We’re continuously improving your Wheelhouse Pricing Engine and are looking forward to sharing more major advancements later this year.

Snapshot of Base Price History

Whether a listing is set to data-driven or fixed base prices, you now are able to easily view the history of all base price changes for an individual listing.
When looking at the Base Price setting for a property, click “
View Historical Base Price
” under the Recommended Breakdown.
You will then be directed to a new page to visualize all base price changes in a chart and graph view within the last 30 days, including:
  • Date
  • Recommended base price
  • Adjustment made (if applicable)
  • Fixed price added (if applicable)

This is the first step in bringing you a major improvement and more transparency to our Demand Model resulting in more precise Base Prices - especially in smaller markets or for large listings, where fewer comparable properties exist.
Stay tuned!
Recently, we introduced the ability to create custom In-Context views and select the series of settings you would like displayed, allowing you to see the data you care about most without needing to select each series every time you log in.
As a fast follow and major improvement, you now can select additional property listings from your portfolio to view in your pricing charts.
By bringing other properties to view, you are able to quickly compare under-performing versus over-performing listings.
For example, if you are viewing your In-Context chart for a property in Lake Tahoe, you now can quickly add all Lake Tahoe properties in your portfolio to get a singular view of performance for that cluster. No need to add every time, as you also can save the view with different series of settings to visualize the data you care about.
The same goes for creating specific owner views. Want to gauge property performance by owner? Simply select each listing belonging to that owner and either save as a new view or update an existing view that will save across all listings assigned.
To add additional properties to an existing view, select the
Series Dropdown
and
Select Other Listings
. Then click to add each listing or search for a specific listing. You then can easily
Save As View
or
Update View
for future reference.
To create a new custom view, select
Create New View
from the chart dropdown. Then add the series of settings you’d like in your chart along with any additional properties to include. You can
Set as Default
to display this view first when on your calendar or settings page for that listing.
You now can move even QUICKER through your portfolio to get a clear view of data you need. We hope this helps you make any adjustments needed to continue maximizing revenue and saving time.
Updating individual listings just got SO much faster.
Yes, you’ve long been able to instantly update your calendars & settings on your portfolio view.
However, on the individual listing view, we wanted to ensure we heard back from your channel before you made an additional update.
With this update, you can sync price updates in any section of an individual listing and immediately move onto other areas of the platform.
Simply click “Sync” next to the Automation toggle in the top right. The updates will start syncing and show the last time they were updated when complete.
Woot! Gone are the days of pushing price updates and waiting (..and waiting) for them to sync.
Here’s to accelerating you & your team!
We’re prioritizing faster and easier ways to move about Wheelhouse and hope this helps save you time!
You now have the ability to select which type of communications you’d like to receive from Wheelhouse.
Navigate to Your Profile and click Email Preferences in the left menu. There, you can now select from the following email subscription types:
  • Marketing
  • Product Updates
  • Educational Materials
  • Training & Events Invites
Your selections will automatically save.
To best leverage Wheelhouse, we highly recommend ensuring you will receive at least Product Updates and Training Invites. We have some BIG releases coming up that many of our customers have been asking for (hint: think customizeable owner reports 👀 ) and we don’t want you to miss out.
Recently, we made major improvements to your Portfolio’s Calendar side panel making all settings consistent, clear and easier to make updates.
Now, we’ve brought those improvements to all individual listing calendars so you no longer need to flip between your calendar and settings to make changes. Easily apply the following rule in a new side panel when you select a date range in the calendar:
  • Daily Rates including Day of Week rates and setting expiration dates
  • Minimum Stay rules
  • Minimum Price rules
  • Maximum Price rules
All rule sets include “Set New” or “Adjust Existing” ability, making it seamless to edit your strategy on one page in Wheelhouse.
We are excited to continue bringing you improvements across the platform to make your entire Wheelhouse experience faster and easier.
