Revenue Management History

The MaximRMS people have been at the forefront of yield/revenue management technologies and big data predictive analytics and machine learning.
Key staff were critical in designing and building the very first yield management system, and have designed, developed and deployed large-scale custom revenue management systems for first-adopters and followers in many industries.

In the early 1980’s, with the deregulation of the airline industry and pricing controls lifted, major airline companies conducted massive research in mathematical forecasting and optimization to maximize revenues. During this period, key MaximRMS staff developed the first automated revenue management system.

The immediate benefits were staggering! United Airlines claimed “over $100 million per year in additional profits”, American Airlines attributed “over $500 million per year in additional revenues”, while People Express lamented “our competitors used Yield Management and pushed us into bankruptcy.”

The knowledge gained and the success shown soon spread to the car rental industry in the late 1980’s and ultimately across the hospitality industry and beyond in the 1990’s.

The same group of experts that performed extensive revenue management research in the 1980’s joined forces to create MaximRMS. As a worldwide leader in revenue management, MaximRMS has assembled a team of the top mathematicians and software experts. The MaximRMS continues to develop new and innovative revenue management and profit optimization features and applications.

MaximRMS is committed to the highest quality of excellence in products and services to our clients through a superior quality software product and providing world-class customer service, training and support.
