Group pace · Matrix by M1 Intel

Group pace, on demand.
No more Friday-at-4pm spreadsheets.

Matrix is the hotel group pace report that runs against the live pipeline. Definite, tentative, and lost room nights, by month, by property, against the same period last year — pulled from the opportunities your team is actually working, not from a spreadsheet that gets emailed around on Friday afternoons.

Why pace is the most-asked, least-trusted number in the hotel

Every owner asks for pace.
Almost no one trusts what they get.

Pace is the number ownership stares at on Monday morning. It is also the number that gets rebuilt by hand every Friday, from a CRM export, a contract spreadsheet, and an email chain. Nobody trusts it, and everybody asks for it again the next week.

Three sources, one spreadsheet, one analyst.

The CRM has definite. The contract folder has the actual signed nights. Somebody's inbox has the tentative count. The pace report is a Friday-afternoon project that pulls from all three.

Portfolio rolls up are even worse.

Five properties means five DOSMs producing five differently-formatted reports. The management company asset manager pieces them together in a workbook. By Monday morning, half the data is already stale.

Last year is the question that takes the longest.

Pace only matters against the same period last year. The CRM remembers what booked, not what was on the books at this date a year ago. Reconstructing the year-over-year view is half the work.

How Matrix handles it

The product views built
for this work.

01 · Live report

Definite, tentative, lost — by month, by property.

Open Group Pace, pick the property, pick the month. Matrix shows every category — definite, tentative, prospect, lost — with room nights, revenue, and average daily rate. Click any number and the underlying opportunities open in a list. The pace report is also the pipeline review; the two are the same data, viewed two ways.

02 · Year-over-year

Same period last year, automatically.

Every month on the pace report shows on-the-books last year, alongside on-the-books this year. Matrix stores the historical pipeline state, not just the closed bookings, so the year-over-year comparison reflects what your team was actually pacing toward at this point in the cycle — not the rear-view mirror.

03 · Portfolio roll-up

Every property, one view, no consolidation step.

Management company users see the pace roll-up across the entire portfolio in one report. Filter by region, by brand, by ownership group. Drill into any property for the property-level cut. The asset manager stops being a data assembler and starts being an asset manager.

The pace report is no longer a Friday project.
It is the home screen.

Every morning the DOSM opens Matrix and sees where the property stands against last year. Every Monday the owner gets the same view, with no Friday-afternoon assembly required. The asset manager opens the portfolio roll-up and the property-by-property cut tells the same story without a workbook to maintain.

Operator questions

Answered straight,
no marketing-speak.

  • How is this different from a pace report out of our PMS or RMS?

    A PMS pace report shows what is booked. A revenue management system pace report shows what is on the books across all segments. Group pace is different — it includes the tentative pipeline (the contracts not yet signed, the prospects in negotiation) which is where the DOSM lives. Matrix shows the full pipeline pace, not just the booked pace, because the booked-only view is the one your team can't influence anymore.

  • How does the year-over-year comparison work?

    Matrix stores a daily snapshot of the pipeline state. When you ask for May pace year-over-year, you get on-the-books May as of today vs. on-the-books May as of the same calendar day last year. That is the only comparison that matters operationally — because it tells you whether your pipeline is ahead or behind where it was at this point in the prior cycle, not just whether last year was a good year.

  • Can ownership see this without logging into Matrix?

    Yes. The pace report exports to PDF and the in-app view is shareable by link. Most asset managers and owners get the link as a bookmark — they refresh on demand. For corporate offices that prefer email, Matrix can schedule a weekly delivery on the same Friday cadence the team is already used to.

  • Does this work across a multi-property portfolio?

    Yes. Portfolio roll-up is built in. The management company sees pace across the entire portfolio in one report — filter by region, by brand, by ownership group, by hotel type. Drill from the roll-up into any single property. There is no consolidation step; the data is in one place because every property uses the same Matrix.

  • What about segments — local negotiated, RFP, BT?

    Group Pace is purpose-built for the group segment. Matrix has parallel views for business travel and other segments through the segment-level dashboards. Group pace stays its own report because the operational rhythm — tentative pipeline, contract milestones, definite conversion — is different from how BT and LNR are tracked.

  • How long does it take to start seeing accurate pace data?

    From day one if your historical opportunities are imported during onboarding. The year-over-year view becomes useful in the second quarter of use, when Matrix has accumulated its own daily pipeline snapshots. Most properties run a hybrid view for the first two months — Matrix pace for current, prior-system data for the year-ago comparison — then switch fully once Matrix has a full year of pipeline history.
