Wheelhouse

E-COMM
Velocity5.0

Wheelhouse is closing the last gaps between its app and the API other companies build on.

Current state
Wheelhouse ships API surface faster than app features. The current release rolls segment performance metrics up across every listing a saved segment matches, works across owned and shared or managed listings, and converts monetary metrics into whichever currency the caller asks for. It reaches the same MCP server that already exposes the platform to AI assistants, so the aggregate is available from a prompt as well as an endpoint.
Where it's heading
The sequencing is deliberate: expose everything through an API, make it reachable from AI clients, then let it push events out so partners can build without polling. This release is the follow-through on a promise made in July — the aggregated metrics endpoint was announced then, and now covers shared and managed inventory and multi-currency portfolios, which is what property managers running someone else's listings actually need. IntelliHost remains the proof of the model, a third party closing the full pricing loop on Wheelhouse rails.
Prediction
With webhooks, scoreboards and segment aggregates in place, the remaining gap is write-side automation at portfolio scale rather than per-listing. Expect the partner roster to grow before the app does — the entries consistently describe the API as the product's leading edge.

    API & MCP: Aggregated Metrics for Segments

    The segment aggregated-metrics endpoint announced in July now ships with the parts that make it usable for managers: coverage of shared and managed listings, and conversion of every monetary metric into a requested currency. Reaching it through MCP means the same rollup answers a plain-English question from an assistant.

    Webhooks: Revenue Intelligence, pushed to you

    Webhooks flip the integration model from polling to push, with recommendations, reservation ingestion and flag detection as the three launch events and a subscription that pauses itself after repeated failures. It is the piece partners needed before a real-time feed into a warehouse was practical.

    Scoreboard Endpoint: Rank Listings by any KPI

    Scoreboards returns a ranked list of properties for any of thirty-plus metrics over a chosen window, with filters and ordering handled in one call instead of several. Ranking on the server is what makes portfolio questions answerable from an assistant without pulling every listing first.

    OTAmiser: Free Audit Tool for Wheelhouse Users

    A partnership announcement rather than a product change: Wheelhouse covers the cost of an Otamiser listing audit for its users. It touches listing optimization, which sits beside revenue management rather than inside it.

    RM API: Dynamic Sets, Segment Metrics, Notification Settings & Higher Rate Limits

    Dynamic Sets become buildable end to end through the API, notification preferences get read and write endpoints, and the default rate limit rises to sixty requests a minute. The release claims every known gap between the app and the RM API is closed — the aggregated metrics endpoint announced here is what this month's release finishes.

    Wheelhouse API Partners launches with IntelliHost

    IntelliHost is the first named partner building on the RM API, reviewing a portfolio each morning, flagging underpriced dates and pushing approved rate changes back into Wheelhouse from Slack. It demonstrates the strategy the API releases keep implying: Wheelhouse as the pricing engine underneath someone else's interface.
