Prior to COVID, LNER had seen a significant increase in ridership, largely due to the software’s ability to incentivize demand shifts to less busy trains while opening availability on historically price-constrained journeys.
FareVantage™ is a first-of-its-kind RMS for clients in the Passenger Rail industry, powered by advanced analytics and automation capabilities. Moreover, it guides users to revenue opportunities through an intuitive user interface and a priorities dashboard.
FareVantage™ offers functionality that has never before been available to the rail industry, including automatic adjustments to timetable changes, auto-detecting special events, intraday re-optimisation, group sales optimisation, and split ticketing mitigation.
“We have continued innovating with LNER by developing modules that are first-to-be seen in Revenue Management within the rail industry,” said Gareth Hawkins, Commercial Director – Transportation at Revenue Analytics.
