Company background

NetPricing Solutions was formed in 2004 by some of the UK Travel Industry's leading Pricing and Revenue Management experts. Our objective is to offer affordable advanced pricing and yield management products to the travel industry, placing particular focus on those sectors where products are priced "in advance". We believe that our cost structure and modular approach will extend the reach of our system. It will enable tour operators outside of the "Top 5" to gain the benefits that the larger operators have enjoyed for over 10 years. Additionally other sectors of the travel community including cruise and ski companies will be able to utilise such functionality for the first time

The company's founders and directors are Steve Marchant, Simon Russell and Mick Speake. They have extensive expertise acquired during their long careers in the travel industry, particularly in the tour operating sector and cross channel market. They have witnessed first hand the daunting task of pricing and yield managing substantial holiday programmes using basic spreadsheets.

NetPricing Solutions was formed to tackle these problems comprehensively, and its founders are determined to provide the opportunity for even the smallest of travel companies to reap the many benefits of this more sophisticated approach that has been the preserve of the larger tour operators for so many years.
