Quote engine

Exact live prices with real availability, for every search.

niftiOS feature card: Pricing is my thing. So niftiOS prices every search. Live.
The short answerA price is a decision, and the niftiOS quote engine makes it the same way every time. A traveler picks a car, dates, a place and a currency; the engine returns an exact price with real availability for those days, not a "from" price.

Every price follows rules you set. Margin rules by supplier, vehicle class, season and cover level, ranked by priority. Rules that apply only from a minimum rental length, or only to one customer currency, each with its own rounding. Live exchange rates with an adjustable buffer per currency, so travelers see prices in their own. A minimum profit per booking, so short rentals never sell too thin.

The engine takes net rates (adding your margin) or retail rates (earning a commission). Live rates that look like errors are hidden instead of sold. Staff can see how any price was built, step by step, and the price your team quotes on the phone is the same price the site shows.

There's also an optional setting to price against known competitor rates, never below the floor you set.

Questions

Can I set different pricing for different markets?

Yes. Rules can apply by supplier, vehicle class, season and cover level, from a minimum rental length, or to one customer currency.

What stops a bad rate from going live?

Live rates that look like errors are hidden, and a minimum profit per booking means nothing sells below your floor.

Is the staff price the same as the website price?

Yes. The price staff quote equals the price on the site.
