Membership-based Data Service
Lobin’s B2B data service is provided through a membership-based cloud software (SaaS), Lobin Dashboard.
Lobin Dashboard, a lodging industry data dashboard, is a cloud software, operated on membership basis. Membership accounts are classified into standard, deluxe and premium classes, and the scope of data access, payment method and the number of access points granted vary by class. In principle, standard, deluxe and premium accounts are vested in the user, while enterprise accounts are in the organization. However, it can apply flexibly subject to needs of the member.
Dataset
Data provided at Lobin Dashboard are classified by compiling scope into market segment data, competitive set data and individual property data. For example, the aggregate or average data for 5-star hotels in Jung-gu, Seoul is a market segment data, the aggregate or average data for Westin Josun, The Plaza, Lotte, Shilla and Grand Hyatt is a competitive set data, and the data for Westin Josun is an individual property data. A user can select up to 5 properties for a competitive set. If the number of properties selected by the user is less than 5, the algorithm automatically selects the remainder to make up a full competitive set.
Datasets provided at Lobin Dashboard are classified by retrievable unit into supply and demand, profit and loss, financial position, and asset values data. For a selected compiling level, the supply and demand data provides the information on supply and demand trends, the profit and loss data provides the information on operating performance, the financial position data provides the information in assets, liabilities and equities, and the asset value data provides the information in income value, book value and replacement cost. Each dataset is composed of a time-series, a snapshot and a trend sections. The time-series section provides a long-term data for major performance indicators, the snapshot section provides detailed performance indicators for a specific year, and the trend section provides monthly updates on major performance indicators for the current year.
Membership Account
The availability of data products and payment methods at Lobin Dashboard varies by membership class. A standard member can access the market segment and the competitive set data using the points purchased as necessary, without subscription fee. A deluxe member can access the market segment and the competitive set data unlimitedly without individual payment, on a subscription basis. Therefore, the standard class works better for low frequency demand for lodging industry data, while the deluxe class works better for high frequency demand. On the other hand, a premium member can access the market segment, the competitive set and the individual property data unlimitedly on a subscription basis.

An enterprise account can customize data access and interface, and extra access points can be added during the subscription period.
