iQ Student Accommodation.

Scaling and accelerating pricing decision-making with an intelligent optimisation engine.

iQ Student Accommodation operates over 70 locations across the UK with 3000 different rooms to price and over 27,000 bookings last year.

Pricing is a key driver in the revenue management process. Over the course of a leasing cycle, room prices and other costs need to be adjusted to balance margin and maximal occupancy. An intelligent dynamic pricing strategy was required to achieve this at scale.

We designed an end-to-end solution that proposed price adjustment actions, enabling immediate validation and value generation. We used a non-parametric algorithm for the optimiser that could feasibly tackle the large amount of calculations on a weekly basis, additionally applying a new approach to forecasting unconstrained demand that would minimise the impact of capacity challenges. The solution was designed for rapid adoption into existing processes to ensure value delivery.

Product and service design.

Reduce development costs by meeting the needs of your users, customers and citizens first time.

Building great data products requires high-quality data and the technical ability to manage complex integrations, deliver time-sensitive insight and meet regulatory requirements. However for many, the biggest challenge is defining use cases and objectives, understanding user personas and driving adoption.

We collaborate with your teams from ideation to adoption, starting with innovation workshops to help your teams identify and prioritise the specific business problems that can be solved with data.

Data and insight monetisation.

Ensure your data lives up to its commercial potential, driving new revenue streams and insight possibilities.

Businesses are always looking to maximise their revenue potential. Monetising data assets represents a direct route to enhancing profitability with existing resources whilst delivering additional value to partners and customers.

We work closely with your business teams within our discovery framework to identify data candidates for monetisation. We then design, build and implement the appropriate technology, systems and value-based pricing strategies to help you succeed faster.

Cost optimisation.

Streamline your resource usage, driving out cost and reinvesting in growth initiatives.

Without access to relevant insight, businesses waste a significant amount of money every year on costs that could have been avoided: in unnecessary promotions to customers who would have converted organically, inventory that is unlikely to be needed, or repeated or redundant business processes.

We build prescriptive and predictive models that identify opportunities to address wasted spend. Our experienced teams work with businesses to optimise cost and either increase the overall return on their spend, or reduce the unnecessary overage.

Demand analysis and forecasting.

Assess potential new markets and strategies, optimise inventory, reduce costs and improve customer experiences.

Demand analysis and forecasting helps businesses make more informed decisions, predicting and proactively responding to changing market dynamics. But many businesses typically struggle to do this well due to lack of relevant internal skills or experience, legacy constraints and data quality challenges.

We help you implement straightforward, proven data solutions that help you protect and grow revenues. These include product recommendation and personalisation models that drive sales, and demand forecasting that makes inventory planning and distribution more accurate.
