Kalibri unveils Profit Platform to tackle rising hotels costs
Data and technology company Kalibri has introduced Profit Platform, a solution designed to enhance profitability and enhance the value of hotel owners' assets. The solution seeks to help the hospitality sector tackle the current scenario where operational expenses are outpacing income, squeezing profit margins. Leveraging granular transaction data and advanced predictive AI, the Profit Platform equips hotel proprietors, managers, and asset supervisors with the capabilities to transcend traditional revenue per available room (RevPAR) and superficial financial indicators. Kalibri co-founder and CEO Cindy Estis Green said: 'At a time when the hospitality industry faces surging expenses and increasing complexity in targeting its business sources, the focus has to shift to getting the revenue that contributes most to profit. 'This is about helping hotels take back control of their performance and shift to a ProfitFirst strategy that aligns with owner priorities.' The platform has begun to yield quantifiable outcomes, says the company. A select-service hotel that used Kalibri's Profit Platform has seen a substantial enhancement in its asset valuation, amounting to an increase of $2.24m. Additionally, the hotel achieved an increment of $179,000 in revenue that carries a high profit margin, which was attributed to strategic adjustments in their mix of services and more intelligent distribution of resources. B.F. Saul Company Hospitality Group president Mark Carrier said: 'Finally, a platform that speaks the owner's language of flow-through and profit. 'Kalibri's platform helps our management team spend time and funds on the business mix that yields the highest profit contribution. That means we grow our bottom line and our asset values.' Kalibri's Profit Platform is designed to identify the most lucrative business mix and forecast demand across different rate categories and channels. With this tool, hotel operators can avoid redundant spending patterns and pursue more profitable business opportunities. Kalibri president and chief operating officer Kristen Clark said: 'As we head into budget season, hotel teams finally have a tool that aligns sales and marketing spend with profitability.'

USC's Mark Carrier returns to College Football Hall of Fame ballot
USC's Mark Carrier returns to College Football Hall of Fame ballot USC football fans know that the Trojan version of Mark Carrier is separate from the other Mark Carrier. USC's Mark Carrier played in the secondary for the Trojans. The other Mark Carrier became an NFL receiver, coming out of Nicholls State. USC's version of Mark Carrier is once again on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot. We wrote this about the historically important Trojan: "Carrier owns an important place in USC football history. He helped coach Larry Smith make three straight Rose Bowls, returning the Trojans to an expected standard after the mediocrity of the Ted Tollner years and a general dry spell for much of the 1980s. "USC made the Rose Bowl only once in a seven-year span from 1980 through 1986. Carrier lifted the Trojans back to the Granddaddy on a regular basis, which is the kind of transformation the program seeks today under Lincoln Riley, having made the Rose Bowl only once since the 2008 season (2016 under Sam Darnold)." USC had a powerhouse defense in the late 1980s, with the 1988 team being one of the very best in college football. Mark Carrier was an important part of that team, making him one of the greatest Trojans ever. Maybe this will be the time when Carrier gets carried over the finish line and into the College Football Hall of Fame.
