PROS Scientist to Present Revenue Management Research at POMS 2017 Conference
HOUSTON, May 5, 2017 – PROS® (NYSE: PRO), a cloud software company powering the shift to modern commerce, today announced that Ravi Kumar, Ph.D., a member of the company’s Science and Research team, will deliver a revenue management research presentation at the 28th Annual Production and Operations Management Society (POMS) Conference. Scheduled for May 5-8 in Seattle, the event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.
Kumar’s presentation – A Dynamic Pricing Model with Capacity Sharing for Airline Revenue Management – was developed in collaboration with Darius Walczak, Ph.D., and Ang Li, Ph.D. Kumar will consider revenue management settings for airlines where limited business compartment capacity can be shared with the economy class for each flight. The model jointly controls real-time prices for business and economy compartments, based on the bookings in each. The PROS Science & Research team developed algorithms for dynamic pricing to address challenges that are computationally efficient and lead to improved profitability for airlines.
“At PROS, we’re seeing a consistent increase in customers looking to move to a modern commerce strategy,” said PROS Senior Vice President for Science and User Experience Jeff Robinson. “Our decades of market experience, combined with advances in machine learning and cognitive computing, fuel a powerful forecasting and optimization science platform. We’re enabling next-generation dynamic pricing, making it possible for companies to price and sell their products and services with speed, precision and consistency. We’re honored that Ravi Kumar will present next-generation revenue management research based on his collaboration with PROS Science & Research team members.”
