Problem

While major Korean OTAs like Yanolja and Goodchoice are competitively adopting AI recommendation features, small and mid-sized accommodation OTAs (5-20 employees) lack A/B testing infrastructure to measure actual conversion rate improvements after AI recommendation adoption. External A/B testing tools cost millions of won per month (~$2,200-$3,700) and don't support OTA-specific metrics (occupancy rate, ADR changes, etc.), leaving them spending 2-5 million KRW (~$1,500-$3,700)/month on AI costs without proving recommendation engine ROI.

Solution

Embeds an SDK into OTA platforms to measure real-time comparisons of AI recommendations vs. legacy recommendations across conversion rate, average order value, and revisit rate. Automatically generates dashboards with OTA-specific KPIs (occupancy rate, ADR, RevPAR impact). Includes automated statistical significance testing.

Target: PMs and CTOs at small to mid-sized accommodation/travel OTA platform operators with 5-20 employees
Revenue Model: SaaS monthly flat rate of 99,000 KRW (~$74)/platform (up to 100K MAU). 15,000 KRW (~$11) per additional 10K MAU above 100K. 20% discount for annual billing
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
