Wheelhouse

E-COMM
Velocity5.0

After a summer of shipping data outward, Wheelhouse turns back to the pricing engine.

◆Current state
Two releases on 27 August move differently from the API, webhook and MCP work that filled July and August. One retunes the More conservative curves for Last Minute Discount and Far Future Premium — the far-future premium now starts building around 180 days out rather than 365, climbing toward roughly 25% — while moving listings already on that setting to a Custom rule matching the old curve, so live pricing did not change underneath anyone. The other puts aggregate Occupancy, Asking Rate, ADR and Pickup rows at the top of the Portfolio Calendar, following whatever filter or segment is applied.
◆Where it's heading
The outward push has not stopped, but the centre of gravity is returning to the product's own surfaces and the model behind them. Both releases take something that already existed — segment-aware aggregation, the conservative pricing curves — and place it where a revenue manager is already working, at the top of the calendar or inside a default setting. Migrating existing listings onto a Custom rule rather than changing their prices suggests these defaults are now treated as something customers depend on rather than something to iterate freely.
◆Prediction
The calendar rows are described as step one of tying pricing strategy to how each day is performing, so further per-date controls or actions taken directly on the calendar are the most likely next move.

    Daily Performance, Right On Your Portfolio Calendar

    Aggregate Occupancy, Asking Rate, ADR and Pickup now sit at the top of the Portfolio Calendar and respect the active filter or segment. It moves a number that previously required a trip to the Performance page into the view where pricing decisions are actually made — the same consolidation the API work has been doing for external consumers, applied to Wheelhouse's own interface.

    Smarter Curves for Last Minute Discount & Far Future Premium

    The More conservative curves for Last Minute Discount and Far Future Premium were retuned, the far-future premium now starting around 180 days out instead of 365 and building toward roughly 25%. Listings already on that setting were moved to a Custom rule matching the old curve, making the new behaviour opt-in — restraint that marks these curves as load-bearing for customers rather than a default free to change.

    WanderOS: Your Direct Booking Machine

    An endorsement of Wander's WanderOS direct-booking platform, with a note that the two teams are discussing collaborations. Nothing in Wheelhouse's own product changed; it is a partner post occupying a changelog slot, and readers tracking Wheelhouse releases should treat it as such.

    API & MCP: Aggregated Metrics for Segments

    Aggregated metrics for segments exposed through both the API and MCP in the same release. Shipping the agent interface alongside the REST one rather than after it is the clearest signal of how Wheelhouse expects this data to be consumed.

    Webhooks: Revenue Intelligence, pushed to you

    Revenue intelligence delivered by webhook instead of requiring a poll. A distribution change rather than a new metric, consistent with a window in which almost every release moves existing data to a new consumer.

    Scoreboard Endpoint: Rank Listings by any KPI

    A Scoreboard endpoint that ranks listings by any KPI. It turns comparison, previously a dashboard view, into something a customer's own system can compute against — the same outward shift the webhook and MCP work follows.
