What Yieldin does

Yieldin is a French technology firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Paris that built Pulse, an AI-powered revenue management platform for commercial airlines. Pulse combines dynamic pricing, yield optimization, group management, competitive intelligence, and analytics into a single PSS-agnostic product that processes PNRs, live competitor fares, and real-time shopping demand. Its core technical premise is native AI inference applied continuously to inventory and pricing decisions, contrasted against legacy revenue management systems that rely on slower, historically-oriented optimization cycles.

Pulse is sold as enterprise SaaS to airlines of varying sizes through a demo-led, direct sales motion with dedicated customer success resources, 24-hour global support, and multi-language consulting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but the go-to-market implies enterprise-level ACVs with implementation timelines of weeks rather than the 12-month cycles cited for legacy RM software. Named customers include La Compagnie and Air Antilles, and Pulse holds IATA ARM System Provider certification (2024) as an industry-recognized ancillary revenue management vendor.

In February 2026, Yieldin was acquired by CitizenPlane, a strategic operating company building a modular airline operating system that also includes Zenith (Passenger Service System) and Air (Distribution). Following the acquisition, Yieldin no longer operates as an independent company; Pulse continues as a product within CitizenPlane's portfolio, giving it access to the parent's reported 80+ airline relationships and global support infrastructure across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
