You are looking for solutions to optimize the revenue of your visits activities or to improve the visitor experience on site by reducing congestion on peak hours. You will now be able to setup dynamic pricing strategies directly within SecuTix thanks to this new feature.
UPCOMING
We are introducing a dynamic pricing batch in order to be able to set which rate type needs to be applied depending the level of quota that remains on selected timeslots (percentage or fixed value). This new batch will let you setup a dynamic pricing strategy based on the remaining availability to optimize the revenue generated by your institution and reduce the congestion on highly demanded timeslots. The new batch works for timeslot based product families. So you will be able to define an automatic rate change for visit passes and timeslot passes.
Getting started
- Create all the rate types you want to be able to apply to your timeslots.
- In the product configuration, you need to pre-define all the prices that corresponds to the rate type regarding this products.
- On the timeslots, you can select the rate that will be used to defined the price of the product-timeslot combination the visitor will purchase.
- Create a "dynamic prices for timeslots" batch
- Select the range timeslots on which the batch should apply the rules you will setup next.
- Set the dynamic pricing rules you want to apply. The rules will define which rate type will be applied depending on the quota still available.
- The batch will now run and automatically change the rate type applied on the range of timeslots you have selected in step 3. above.
- As the rate type is changing, the price presented to the customer are too.

Important informations
Highlight
- Introduce a new batch for updating rate type of timeslot.
- Batch configuration: possibility to define rate type for availability range (percentage or fixed availability) (similar to the price level of cancellation insurance) for a list of Visit Space, product family and date range of the Timeslots, list rate types of the timeslot
- Batch execution:
- Execute every 1 min
- For each timeslot in the future of the selected Visit Spaces and time range, update its Rate type based on the availability.
- 1 batch per space
- Warning within one batch you can create as many schedules as you want, we recommend to avoid setting more than one dyn pricing strategy on a given timeslots range. The system supports it, but it will difficult to foresee what will be happening if several strategies are crossing over the same range of timeslots.
