Hotel Occupancy Tracking | Transient Lodging

Data Engineering Case Study 

Overview

Department of Revenue to identify the Tax evaders by Identifying the Occupancy rates.

  • To get the daily occupancy rate of the lodging facilities.
  • To validate the occupancy of the lodging facilities throughout the state daily.
  • Cross-check whether the taxes paid as per the occupancy rate are the same as the bookings made across online platforms.
  • Monthly report creation for audit purposes.

Challenges

  • A fully automated approach was required to find out the occupancy rate of the lodging facilities.
  • The data on occupancy was required to be aggregated from 10+ third-party websites periodically (roughly 4 times a day).
  • Site-specific bots were required to crawl multiple websites.

Our Solution

  • A TOT (Transient Occupancy Tracker) platform was built to periodically monitor the transient lodging information from sites.
  • We deployed Mobito, a proprietary web-crawler platform to crawl and aggregate this data.
  • The data extraction from multiple websites is done with the help of multiple site-specific bots.
  • Using the web change monitoring bot the daily changes in the online sites are monitored and the daily occupancy is calculated.
  • Once the data is collected and the details of the present and the past day are found, the occupancy details are stored in the form of pdf/CSV/HTML.
  • TOT system helps users configure periodic reports (daily/weekly/fortnightly/monthly/quarterly) on transient
    occupancy for the state/regions for delivery to the user’s secure email or to secure channels (SFTP/dropbox).
