*OTA is Online Travel.
Agent (online travel agent) refers to travel agencies and reservation sites that sell online.
Due to the surge in travel demand, the rental car industry has seen unprecedented growth since the coronavirus outbreak. Many rental car stores have reduced their workforce due to the coronavirus outbreak, and how to DXify man-hour-intensive operations will be the key to efficient operations and sales expansion in the future.
Additionally, in the rental car industry, where inventory management systems are not widely available, overbooking and opportunity losses occur due to manual management of each OTA’s inventory.
Therefore, we are holding a webinar this time to introduce Metro Conductor’s automatic inventory management function and competitive research function that can support rental car business operations, and to talk about how to improve operational efficiency and expand sales opportunities.
The “automatic inventory management” function can cut the daily inventory adjustment work by about 1/10, which can be expected to significantly reduce the burden, and the “competitor research function” allows you to easily monitor the prices of 5 competing stores. Therefore, daily competitive research can be simplified.
On the day of the event, we will project the actual management screen and provide a thorough explanation of the actual usage experience, so rental car operators who have concerns such as “want to focus more on attracting customers” or “want to reduce the effort of OTA management” Please join us.

“Metro Conductor” service overview
URL: https://info.metroconductor.jp/
“Metro Conductor” is a system for rental car companies that helps streamline business operations and maximize sales, such as centrally managing inventory across multiple OTA reservation sites and researching competitive sales prices.
The inventory management function standardizes the inventory of each OTA, which was previously managed manually for each OTA reservation site, and makes it possible to automatically adjust inventory according to the reservation status of the OTA site. This not only greatly reduces employee burden and work hours, but also maximizes sales opportunities while minimizing overbooking risks.
The competitive price research function allows you to list the selling prices of competing stores for each OTA, allowing you to efficiently conduct research to determine your own prices.

You can centrally manage the inventory status of multiple OTA sites. By collaborating with OTAs, the inventory of each OTA is shared and maintained, so there is no need to check the balance with other sites and set the initial inventory for each reservation site.
When a reservation is made on a specific site, the inventory on other sites is automatically adjusted, so there is no need to make adjustments between sites, and seamless inventory management can be achieved. It is possible to prevent loss of sales opportunities due to out of stock.
■Competitive research
By selecting a competing store based on the distance from the store and specifying the OTA, store, vehicle class, and departure date, you can sell on the same day, 1 night and 2 days, 2 nights and 3 days, and 3 nights and 4 days at a competing store. You can list prices.
