Lighthouse's rate shopping frequency

Lighthouse (former OTA Insight) performs rate shopping for Atomize clients and their compset once per day for the next 90 days and once bi-weekly for days 90-365 days out.

However, if a user (any user) in their system manually shops rates for any of the hotels we are subscribing to, the new rates are updated on the Lighthouse platform and we will import these. There are four import runs scheduled each day - at 03 AM, 09 AM, 3 PM, and 9 PM in the hotels time zone.

3 AM Rate shopping for all hotels for the next 90 days + import of prices Ensures all updates prices are imported to Atomize
