System Hotels will have access to, but are not required to use, BestREV, our proprietary revenue management software that provides daily rate recommendations to drive optimal revenue and integrate with most PMS systems to implement recommended changes.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, while the use of BestREV, their proprietary revenue management software, is not mandatory, there are specific requirements to access it. Bw Premier Collection System Hotels can access BestREV, which provides daily rate recommendations to optimize revenue and integrates with most PMS systems.
To utilize BestREV, a Bw Premier Collection franchisee must have the Bw Premier Collection's two-way Interface and participate in their Rate Shopping Service. The two-way interface likely involves paying associated fees to Bw Premier Collection for connectivity. However, the FDD states that BestREV is offered to System Hotels at no additional cost beyond these requirements.
This arrangement allows Bw Premier Collection to encourage the adoption of its revenue management tools without mandating it, while still ensuring hotels meet certain technical and data-sharing standards. For a prospective franchisee, this means evaluating the costs of implementing the two-way interface and participating in the Rate Shopping Service against the potential revenue benefits of using BestREV's recommendations.
