HOUSTON -- 

PROS® (NYSE: PRO), a provider of AI-powered solutions that optimize selling in the digital economy, today announced that Denver-based Frontier Airlines, an Ultra Low-Cost Carrier (ULCC) dedicated to providing affordable travel across America, has selected PROS Revenue Management Essentials (RM Essentials) to optimize its demand forecasting and ticket revenue production. With PROS, Frontier will be able to determine for each flight the optimal ticket revenue possible in light of competitors’ pricing, expected customer demand and other attributes – without additional complexity for its analysts.

With 200 planes on order and 34 new routes added in January 2019 alone, Frontier has aggressive corporate expansion plans for their current markets and to reach new markets every quarter. As a ULCC, Frontier experiences intense competition for each ticket sold based on price. The company realized a need for a solution with trusted AI that could sufficiently scale to look at each origin-destination pair and optimize market prices for each seat for any given flight accurately.

“Our ability to optimize revenue production is strengthened by accurately modeling the revenue potential of every flight,” said Louie Ligon, Director, Yield Management at Frontier. “With PROS RM Essentials, we anticipate a significant forecast improvement over our previous system. The new system will allow our analysts to more efficiently manage their demand forecasts. We will have a basis to better support the demands of new routes, manage the complexities of holiday and special event travel – and do so in a manner that allows us to meet the travel demands of today’s value-conscious travelers.”

RM Essentials is an AI-powered SaaS solution, allowing for a low barrier to adoption and ultimate flexibility for carriers looking to establish a foundational capability in demand forecasting. It features AI-based forecasting and optimization capabilities to deliver the optimal offer price, every time, even in the most volatile of markets. With powerful workflows analysts will be able to better understand historical trends and demand forecasts enabling them to quickly drill down to the information they need to make decisions confidently.

“Frontier operates in a very dynamic environment, and having a solution that revenue management leaders and analysts can rely upon to make accurate decisions that can withstand the pressure of a highly volatile market is critical to their business,” said Justin Jander, PM Manager, Revenue Management at PROS. “RM Essentials provides that trusted foundation that meets their needs today, and easily grows with Frontier as their business continues to rapidly scale.”
