That is what a data activation platform does. A CRM stores guest records. A customer data platform (CDP) unifies them. A data activation platform adds intelligence and execution: it predicts what each guest needs next and acts while intent is still live. Revinate does all three on one platform, with Ivy, its AI intelligence layer, running across every product. Hotels set the goals, and Revinate executes to deliver the outcomes and revenue.
“For 17 years, we’ve helped hotels clean up and unify their guest data,” said Bryson Koehler, CEO of Revinate. “Today, we advance those foundational capabilities with a greater focus on automated outcomes. Revinate Pathways, Revinate Vault, and Revinate Chat put what a hotel knows about its guests and its properties to work in the moments that decide a booking, and they get sharper every time a guest responds.”
AI adoption is outpacing results. In h2c’s AI Opportunity Study 2026, 91% of hotel chains said they use AI, but only 13% reported a measurable return on investment so far. Revinate customers are seeing the opposite: 60% report an ROI of 20X or more on the platform, and today’s launches advance Revinate’s move into the enterprise segment, where major hotel brands are already customers.
Revinate Pathways: marketing that follows the guest
Revinate Pathways replaces batch-and-blast email with automated journeys across email and SMS that fire on real guest events, from booking and check-in to birthdays and abandoned carts, and branch on how each guest responds. Built-in consent controls keep SMS compliant, and Revinate Insights reports the room nights, reservations, and outlet spend every journey drove. WhatsApp will also be available in Pathways by the end of this year, so hotels can reach guests on the channel they prefer.
Revinate Vault: one source of truth for the property
Revinate Vault is the single source of truth for a hotel’s property and brand information. Hotels upload their documents, from spa hours to cancellation policies, and Ivy reads them and fills in the details automatically. At launch, Vault powers Revinate Chat so guests get answers with property-specific accuracy and in the hotel’s own tone of voice. Next, Vault will hold the settings Pathways runs on, then extend to Revinate Feedback and Reservation Sales, so a change made once updates everywhere.
Revinate Chat: every question becomes a signal
First announced at HITEC 2026 in June, Revinate Chat resolves up to 80% of routine guest questions automatically, drawing on Revinate Vault. The latest version connects Chat to Pathways: Chat links in pre-arrival and welcome messages, including by SMS, let guests reach the hotel the moment a question comes up, and every question adds to their profile.
The data advantage
Hotel data is messy: duplicated, half-finished, and scattered across systems never built to talk to each other. Revinate Core, Revinate’s customer data platform, resolves records from hundreds of integrated systems into Rich Guest Profile® data covering 1.25 billion guest profiles.
On that foundation sits Revinate’s synthetic data engine. It learns from guest behavior at scale and is built to anticipate when a guest is likely to travel, then match them with the right room at the right price, so hotels capture the booking before the search begins.
“AI is only as smart as the data it runs on,” said David Stephens, CTO of Revinate. “Point a generic AI model at duplicated, scattered hotel records and it guesses. With our hospitality-specific AI model, we resolve identity first. A guest who books a room, a table, and a spa treatment is one guest in Revinate, not three. The synthetic data engine learns from behavior, never personal details, which lets us model demand at a scale no single hotel could reach while protecting every guest’s privacy.”
