Today, Wheelhouse is releasing a new pricing engine that represents a significant improvement in how our ability to drive rental revenue, based on local demand signals.

introduces a (leveraging a “Generalized Additive Model”, methodology detailed below) to replace our last model generation’s “Distributional Pricing” approach.

This new methodology leverages machine learning to better interpret how demand signals relate to the market’s price tolerance, with performance improvements including:

Model 9.0 is much better at decomposing demand into distinct components — seasonal trend, day-of-week effects, and event-specific spikes — and understanding how these components should contribute to specific daily pricing recommendations.

This advancement has two benefits - both making price recommendations more accurate, and making it easier to use your settings to create your ideal pricing strategy.

Model 9.0 is very effective at understanding the relationship between local demand patterns and booked prices. This capability means your engine is far more proficient at analyzing your current competitive landscape, and knowing where to move your pricing in order to maximize revenue.

Importantly, this improvement helps to better position your listing in both high & low demand environments.

Model 9.0 is better at responding to emerging demand signals without overreacting and pushing your prices too dramatically, day over day.

This allows your listings to more precisely adapt to events in the far future, without risking owner/guest complaints from overly reactive pricing changes.

As part of our evaluation of Model 9.0, we have been running an A/B test across >1,000 real, live listings across 20+ markets, and a wide range of inventory.

The results of this ongoing A/B test are available here, and will be updated weekly until the end of the trial (early February).

The new pricing engine is clearly differentiating itself in terms of driving revenue.

Additionally, we are also happy to see that the revenue creation is being partially driven by increased ADR, as well. This helps us determine that these results are not just a short term bump tied to cannibalizing future potential bookings.

Model 9.0 should be much easier to work with - right out of the box.

For our A/B test, our testing team reduced the use of model customizations ~81% between our control & test group for Seasonality, Day of Week, and Demand Sensitivity.

This reduction was based on strong agreement with the output of the new Pricing Engine, in matching their understanding of each local market.

With this launch, we are publishing live results of an ongoing A/B test, in order for you to follow along for learnings, updates & results.

Yes, this test has been configured & run by a teammate at Wheelhouse.

However, as you examine how the trial has been structured, I think it will be clear that the trial setup & execution are as fair as possible, and serve as a decent showcase for the different approaches and results for Model 8.3 & 9.0.

With this new Pricing Engine, Wheelhouse has created a new set of tools that will allow you to:

Both on your terms and timeline. Therefore, you will be able to evaluate the where the model recommends increasing & decreasing prices, key model metrics, and more.

Ready for a portfolio accelerant?

Meet “” - the next evolution of your Portfolio Settings page, designed to make much more magical. ✨

📽️ 30-second video demo worth a thousand words…

With this launch, when you select multiple listings from the Portfolio Settings page, Wheelhouse will for you.

This means you can now easily:

As you will find, this Grouped Settings Magic will unlock a greatly accelerated way to manage your listings.

Our 30-second video details the following…

Now, when you grab multiple listings from the Portfolio Settings Tab, we’ll automatically group the listings into groups that share the same settings.

You can now click through each group to preview & edit their settings with ease.

When you make a change, that change will (by default) only change the listing group that is selected.

Additionally, each group contains a list of listings, and a link that opens those listings in another tab, if you want to further investigate.

When you make a change to 1 group of listings, we’ll leave your editing window open so you can keep fine-tuning your setting strategy.

Okay, Revenue Management fanatics…

We’d suggest that by auto-grouping listings, our platform is poised to give you a new & better paradigm to control your listing groups.

Let's unpack more of what happens when we auto-group listings:

In short, this approach helps you keep listings aligned, while not forcing you to adopt the rigidity of an antiquated template system. 🎇

Again, for people who like speed AND control… this paradigm may well feel like magic. 🧙

You can think of this new approach as a precise set of scissors ✂️ - enabling you to fine-tune any group of listings with ease.

Now, when you , you can:

If you DO want to make a complete overhaul of all your listings, you can still do so.

Simply click “All Listings”, and then you can modify Settings as you please, before “” or “”.

Wheelhouse has a new available - the 🏠

This permission level is designed to help more teammates serve owners faster — without risking your overall portfolio or revenue strategy.

You already have several role types to optimize how your portfolio is managed:

Now, you have a new option:

This role users to:

➕ Edit settings & calendars for any assigned listing;

This role users from:

❌ Editing 2+ listings at the same time

❌ Create & edit tags (since tags are a portfolio-level tool, reserved for Editor/Manager/Admin roles)

Most of the time, your 🏠 will be .

As noted above, more teams are using Wheelhouse as a shared platform between Revenue Managers and Owner Support teammates.

Now, there is a permission level that ensures Operations or Owner Support teammates can quickly:

And, Revenue Managers can rest assured these changes only apply to the assigned listing — not to the broader portfolio.

Because all permissions in Wheelhouse are set at the listing-level, one of your teammates could be:

Bulk editing is still possible across any listings where a teammate has “editor” or higher permissions.

But for listings where they have "Single-Listing Editor" permissions, to make changes, they will need to:

Should a user try to change 2+ listings where they are assigned as a “Single Listing Editor”, Wheelhouse will automatically block the update and alert them of the listings that were not updated.

Whenever discussing permissions on Wheelhouse, we are quick to remind you:

You now have the ability to “chain” text filters (e.g Display Name & Nickname).

This will enable you to create & save more precise views of your portfolio.

As you might have noticed, Wheelhouse updated your Settings UI recently.

The goal?

To make it far easier to see the current settings configuration, so you can quickly understand, communicate, or adjust any setting.

Until a few weeks ago, when on a single listing, you had to click into EACH setting to see your settings-specific configuration.

(See below… eek!)

With the rollout of Events & Seasons, we wanted to make this side panel much more helpful.

Specifically, we wanted to make sure these increasingly powerful settings were much easier to understand.

Therefore, meet your new , replete with helpful indicators detailing your current configuration.

First, you’ll notice the colorful new icons for your data-driven settings.

These icons illustrate the current status of these settings: either Recommended, Aggressive, or Conservative.

For settings with , we’ll surface these “most important” values to you immediately.

Settings that feature this additional detail include Base Price, Min Price, Min Stay & Max Price.

When you change a setting to “”, we’ll show you how many of rules you have created for that setting.

Settings can have many sub-rules, including:

Importantly, this number indicates how many of these you have activated.

For example, if you had five (5) monthly rules, three (3) day-of-week rules, and four (4) time-based rules, this indicator would show a “3”, indicating that three of your sub-rule sections are active.

Finally, some settings will highlight both your Default as well as your active sub-rule sections.

Collectively, we hope these UI updates accelerate your work on Wheelhouse!

Today, Wheelhouse is stepping into a new era of Portfolio Intelligence, designed to accelerate every aspect of your work.

Now, on a daily basis, your new will analyze every listing in your portfolio, and surface Flags that highlight opportunities or risks, including:

⛳ Flags are a new alerting system layer that automatically identifies listings with:

Flags enable you to:

✅ Catch pacing problems before owners do

✅ Spot misconfigurations in a flash

✅ Turn Flags into smart segments that scale your workflows

🚩 :

Configuration flags appear if you have missed a key configuration (e.g. no Min Price) that will help you succeed.

🚩 :

Best Practice flags ensure you are using our more complex settings (e.g. Historical Anchoring and Far Future Premiums) in a way that will drive performance.

🚩 :

Performance flags give you an easy way to see properties that are performing below expectations at a glance, such as when revenue or occupancy falling behind YOY… or even when a listing is potentially over performing and you might have room to be more aggressive!

Currently, 🚩 Flags are surfaced on your portfolio page.

➡️ To see them, simply add the column “flags” from the Column Dropdown.

Whether you’re managing a handful of listings or thousands, flags give you fast, actionable visibility across your portfolio.

Flags can be used as a filter, to customize the views your team sees & can respond to.

➡️ Open your filters column to see “flags” as part of your Listing Status filters, and then select any flag!

And, because flags are filters, you can easily combine them with any other attributes to create a saved Segment.

➡️ Simply select a flag and a filter to create a dynamic (always up to date) view for your portfolio

We’re just getting started down this product path.

Coming soon:

Flags are just the beginning of the . We can’t wait to keep building this future with you.

Wheelhouse settings have always included a and a .

However, those defaults were intentionally designed to be overridden by custom rules—like monthly, weekly, or time-based settings.

Today, we’re introducing : a new layer of protection for your minimum pricing and stay requirements—.

With Absolute Minimums, you can now create non-negotiable price and stay floors that are enforced no matter what other rules or changes are applied.

Whether your pricing floors are driven by , , or , you can now lock them in with confidence—no workarounds, no surprises.

Absolute Mins can be created at both the listing or portfolio level.

To add from the Portfolio Settings Page, simply:

Once an Absolute Minimum Price is set, you’ll see a new 🧱 icon on your calendar whenever .

Yes, Absolute Minimums offer essential protection—especially when owners or regulations set hard limits on price or stay length.

But they also unlock faster workflows.

With your floor in place, you can confidently adjust pricing on the calendar, knowing it will .

More than just control—this update helps you protect:

All while ensuring your most critical price and stay requirements are always enforced.

Each of your got a today.

Each of your settings (e.g., min prices, max price, min stays) now has two sub-sections:

Before Rules vs. Overrides, you were able to create “Custom Date Rules”.

However, the more time we spent with Revenue Managers, the more we realized RMs were using Custom Date Rules for two very different goals.

However, when RMs updated their rates… they did so by updating their Custom Date Rules… thereby overriding their initial strategy 😞

That meant when next year rolled around, revenue managers had to spend too much time recreating each listing’s revenue strategy.

This pattern led us to update the structure of our Settings Pages in the way you now see - splitting “” from “”, in order to create a safer, faster, and far more scalable way for revenue managers.
