Peaqplus vs D-EDGE —
distribution control vs revenue decision workflow.

D-EDGE and Peaqplus solve different parts of hotel revenue management. Compare D-EDGE’s distribution and data-intelligence scope with Peaqplus’s PMS-based BI, planning and decision workflow.

D-EDGE centres on channel management, CRS and direct-booking technology. Peaqplus adds mapped PMS data, Budget, Forecasting and an auditable path from signal to follow-up. The two systems can also take separate roles.

The short version

Who fits which.

Centralised hotel distribution requires a CRS, channel manager, booking engine, central inventory, GDS, payment and central-reservation tools. D-EDGE documents these in its public portfolio, alongside separate Performance Analysis, Price Monitoring and Price Recommendation products.

Peaqplus fits when the existing distribution setup remains in place and the hotel needs a revenue workflow based on reservation and segment fields available through a supported PMS connection or agreed import. BI Core connects analysis, Budget, Forecasting, Discussion, Decisions and Revenue Meeting; specialist modules are optional.

The systems can take separate roles: D-EDGE as the distribution layer and Peaqplus as the planning and decision layer. The available rate, restriction, closure, inventory and channel-group actions depend on the connector, version and hotel configuration and are confirmed during setup.

Why Peaqplus

Three areas where Peaqplus adds more value.

01
PMS-based revenue context

Peaqplus starts from the reservation, channel and segment fields available through a supported PMS connection or agreed import. Corporate, group, MICE and direct business can therefore join the revenue view when those fields are present and mapped.

02
Planning and decisions stay connected

BI Core connects Budget, Forecasting, Discussion, Decisions and Revenue Meeting to the analysis. The team can return to the selected snapshot, see why a decision was made and record the follow-up without requiring Pulse AI.

03
A clear modular entry point

BI Core starts at €109/month per property plus a one-time €135 setup fee, net. Pricing, Competitor Rate & Review Intelligence, Pulse AI, Sales, Ping and Discovery have explicit boundaries, so the hotel can add the jobs it actually needs.

The practical setup

Keep D-EDGE for distribution. Add the Peaqplus layer you need.

You do not need to replace a working D-EDGE distribution setup to use Peaqplus. BI Core can sit alongside it as the PMS-based analysis, planning and decision layer, subject to the available PMS connection or agreed import and field mapping.

If you also select Peaqplus Pricing, approved or automated actions can use a supported D-EDGE channel-manager path. The precise rate, restriction, closure, inventory and channel-group actions are checked during setup because they depend on the connector, version and hotel configuration.

KEEP D-EDGE PRICING
Add BI Core only
Keep D-EDGE distribution and rate recommendations; use Peaqplus for PMS-based analysis, planning and decision follow-up.
ADD PEAQPLUS PRICING
Connect the decision to delivery
Use Peaqplus Zone or Matrix pricing and confirm the supported D-EDGE delivery actions during setup.
Peaqplus scope

When Peaqplus is not the distribution platform.

01
Distribution is the primary system job

Peaqplus is not a CRS, channel manager, booking engine, central inventory, GDS, payments or central-reservation platform. If those operations drive the purchase, treat distribution as a separate system requirement.

02
One vendor must cover acquisition and CRM

Peaqplus does not replace a hotel website, digital-media platform or guest CRM. If consolidation across those guest-acquisition and guest-relationship jobs is mandatory, assess that stack separately from the revenue workflow.

03
Connectivity breadth is the deciding constraint

Peaqplus depends on a supported PMS connection or agreed import, and Pricing needs a supported channel-manager path. Validate those exact connections first when ecosystem breadth outweighs the planning and decision workflow.

Buyer questions

Clarify these before you shortlist either platform.

Is Peaqplus a replacement for D-EDGE?

Not for the full D-EDGE distribution portfolio: Peaqplus is not a channel manager, booking engine or CRS. It can replace or add the PMS-based BI and revenue-decision layer, and its optional Pricing module can deliver supported actions through an approved D-EDGE channel-manager path.

Can D-EDGE and Peaqplus run together?

Yes, when the responsibilities and connections are explicit. D-EDGE can remain the distribution layer while Peaqplus reads a supported PMS connection or agreed import for BI, planning and decisions. Connector-specific rate and restriction actions are confirmed during setup.

Does D-EDGE offer analytics and price recommendations?

Yes. D-EDGE publicly documents Performance Analysis, Price Monitoring and Price Recommendation within its Data Intelligence portfolio. Confirm the selected products, integrations and commercial terms in the proposal.

What hotel data can Peaqplus analyse?

The reservation, channel, segment and revenue fields available through the supported PMS connection or agreed import and mapping. Peaqplus does not promise every field or every revenue stream before that source check.

What does Peaqplus cost alongside D-EDGE?

BI Core starts at €109 per property per month for up to 49 rooms, plus a one-time €135 setup fee, net. Pricing, Competitor Rate & Review Intelligence, Pulse AI, Sales, Ping and Discovery have separate published boundaries and may be included in higher bundles.
