Automatic Payments, VAT Report, Housekeeping Supervisor and a dozen other features some news to share…

Shared by Customer Success • July 04, 2024

New things:

1. Automatic Payments for the Virtual Cards are finally live as well as a payment gateway for the Booking Engine. We now support any country in the world which is great news for countries unsupported by our previous preferred payment gateway - STRIPE.

To activate this feature just contact our support and enjoy the world of automatized and hassle-free payment solutions.

2. We added a new report > VAT (PDV) Report so you can watch all fiscalized/non-fiscalized invoices and their taxes grouped or by date

3. Improved Check-In Process with new module 'Fast Check-In' that can be activated.

How does it work?

4. Added option to add Custom Fields in the Reservation. So you can add new input/select fields that suit your business operation logic in the property.

5. Added new user type: Housekeeping Supervisor user.

So now you can set up in Settings > General > Housekeeping Default Room Status (Clean, Regular, General) and if you have a Housekeeping Supervisor in the property.

If yes you need to create a new user with the type Supervisor and in the Mobile App they will have the ability to manually approve each room to status Clean-Inspected after Housekeeping Members mark it as Clean. So the room will not be marked as clean in the PMS before the Housekeeping Supervisor marks it as clean.

6. Added in the Housekeeping Settings option 'Start - Stop' so now Housekeeping users in the mobile app don't have the option to mark the room as clean if it is active but instead they need to click on START, which marks that the cleaning has begun and when they click on STOP that marks cleaning as finished and marks room as clean and you as a manager are aware how much time the housekeeping user spent time cleaning the room.

7. Added new user type: Maintenance User
Now in the Mobile App, they can add new items for Maintenance for room or some other space and can change the statuses of items for maintenance (New, Assigned, Solved)

8. Multiproperty view in both web & mobile

In the web, you can now edit prices, availability, and restrictions for each property you have access to directly from a single calendar. Added ability to select multiple properties in various reports too.

In the mobile app now there is option to select all properties at once so view in the Home Page/Reservations/Calendar Vertical/Calendar Horizontal and Statistics is for multiple properties.

9. Added option in the Settings > Reservation Settings if you want to disable cents or not in the entire system

10. Added option in the Settings > Reservation Settings to choose separators from thousands in the entire system ( dot, comma or space)

11. Added option that Room Tax can be non-included (excluded) from the price

12. Added in the Settings > Property Policies option for custom .pdf file upload for Custom Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy that will be visible in the Booking Engine

13. In Settings > Property Policies added Custom footer for reservation print so each reservation print can contain a custom footer

SPOILER ALERT: On Wednesday 10th of July we are releasing a brand new feature. Minibar Inventory. So you can watch Minibar inventory per room, the ability for housekeeping teams to fill up inventory, and warehouse setup and inventory status and reports.

Improvements:

1. CIty Tax Report & Country Report now follows all the guests, not just the primary guest country in the reservation
2. Added in the reservation preview checkmark if a specific invoice or extra item is paid already
3. Every user can UNDO from the changelog only actions they performed
4. Debit Report now includes Extra Services also
5. Added option in the User Access Levels for Reservation Deletion for new users
6. Added option to Allow Creating New users in the User Access Level for new users
7. Added column 'Available Rooms' in the Occupancy Report

8. Changed colors for the reservation statuses through the entire system so they are 100% the same color code
9. Updated Reservation Card View
10. Price per day can now be visible in the invoice as well as it was possible in the reservation
11. Added option to open unassigned reservation preview

12. Added option 'Select All' when using the Prices&Restrictions tab in the Web for the Restrictions. It is useful when you want to close down the entire property for some reason so you can select all restriction plans at once.

13. Make Yield Calendar Responsive

14. Added option in the Automatic Emails to Exclude Email for Last Minute Reservations or to Include Emails ONLY for Last Minute Reservations or to Exclude Emails for short stay reservations you configure

As usual, there have been numerous other improvements and bug fixes that increase the stability, performance, and security of the entire system.

We are sure that with all those automations and new features, you will have much more time to relax in the upcoming summer as OTA Sync will work better than ever for you!
