HOUSTON and LISBON, Portugal, April 10, 2017 – PROS (NYSE: PRO), the revenue and profit realization company, today announced that TAP Portugal, the country’s flag carrier, has selected PROS Real-Time Dynamic Pricing (RTDP) to expand its global distribution and revenue management strategy. PROS cloud-based solution will enable the carrier to offer accurate, real-time price availability across its global shopping channels, while keeping booking rules and fares fully synchronized.

“Our goal is to provide our customers around the world with real-time availability and accurate pricing, no matter when or where they’re looking to fly with us,” said Elton D’Souza, TAP Portugal’s Senior Vice President, Network Management. “PROS RTDP provides us with greater control and management of our distribution costs, and it enables us to grow revenue by managing availability without increasing our selling costs. We appreciate our partnership with PROS and this strategic innovation that will enable us to drive revenue for our business.”
“Across today’s modern commerce marketplace, airlines are competing to provide their customers with the best offers and most personalized experiences,” said PROS Travel President Benson Yuen. “The linchpin of these new requirements is dynamic pricing science, complemented with robust revenue management, which enables forward-thinking airlines like TAP Portugal to provide accurate, efficient and more relevant sales responses. We are honored that TAP Portugal has chosen PROS to help drive new opportunities for revenue and growth.”
