The data behind every price

Behind every price a hotel shows its guests is a flood of publicly available data, collected from the right place, every single day. For Lighthouse, that data is the foundation the product runs on. Oxylabs' Datacenter Proxies give its engineering team reliable access to exactly the locations its customers need, with the support that made Oxylabs the clear choice.

Challenges Lighthouse faced

– In hospitality, the point of sale a customer books from directly changes the pricing and availability data shown, so accuracy depends on collecting from that exact location.

– Lighthouse was largely limited to a single point of sale, typically the US or Europe, and couldn't capture the full geographic picture its customers needed.

– As demand grew, the previous setup couldn't keep pace with the required data volumes.

Challenges Lighthouse faced

How Oxylabs helped

  • Datacenter Proxies let Lighthouse choose the exact point of sale for every request, so the data collected matches what a real customer would actually see.

  • With reliable coverage across the specific regions its customers need, Lighthouse now reaches far beyond that original single point of sale.

  • Because proxies aren't charged per use, Lighthouse reuses the same ones across multiple targets, running twice as fast on average as the alternatives it evaluated, without costs climbing as it scales.

How Oxylabs helped

Main takeaways

Twice as fast, and pulled from exactly the right locations — that's what Lighthouse gets from Oxylabs' Datacenter Proxies. It's location-precise data collection at the pace a hospitality business built on up-to-date pricing actually needs.
