PROS, a world leader in pricing and revenue optimization science
and software for manufacturing, distribution, services, hotel/cruise,
and airlines announced today the successful implementation of PROS
Revenue Management Suite enhancements for airlines operating the new
Airbus A380.
"PROS congratulates Singapore Airlines on its inaugural Airbus
A380 flight from Singapore to Sydney," stated Surain Adyanthaya, PROS
Senior Vice President. "As a long-term Singapore Airlines partner,
since 1995, PROS is committed to supporting Singapore Airlines and all
international airlines that plan to operate the new Airbus A380. Of
the 13 airlines with firm orders for the Airbus A380, 10 of these
carriers are PROS customers."
The typical PROS customer who is scheduled to operate the A380 has
over 60% of its revenue in B2B transactions. Airlines have the most
complex and process intensive B2B pricing challenges. They have large
B2B sales forces that have pricing and negotiation autonomy for
commercial contracts. These contracts include pricing, product, and
volume terms and often Most Favored Nation clauses. In addition,
airlines have multiple distribution channels that create intense
channel conflict including sales agents and sales representatives with
pricing power as well as OEM pricing. Airlines have the complexities
of supply constraints, significantly different supply costs, near
infinite product combinations, bundled products, short product life
cycles, product obsolescence, promotional pricing, and volume rebates.
Airline B2C pricing is dominated by electronic transactions that
require high-performance technology that delivers optimized prices in
a 200-300 millisecond window for millions of transactions everyday.
"Airlines are the most advanced users of science-based pricing
optimization," stated Bert Winemiller, PROS Chairman and CEO. "It is
because PROS continues to provide innovative Pricing and Revenue
Optimization software products to the airline industry, as well as
Fortune 2000(R) leaders in manufacturing, distribution, and services,
that PROS will remain the preferred partner for Pricing Excellence."
