New Features:

1. Fully Redesigned Booking Engine (Multi property & Single Property)


With this update we expect the conversion rate on the Booking Engine to be much higher and we implemented some new features in it as well.

2. Price Comparison Widget for the Booking Engine (Conversion Booster Feature) - Read all about it here

- One more premium feature for the Booking Engine that we are giving completely for FREE for our clients.
This will additionally boost the confidence of your website visitors and lead to higher conversion rates by knowing that the price they are getting is lower than on any OTA.

3. Channel Manager Availability Rules - Read all about it here

4. Minibar Inventory Management - Finally there is an option so that you can watch Minibar inventory per room, the ability for housekeeping teams to fill up inventory, and warehouse setup and inventory status and reports. Read all about it here.

5. Split Stay Feature - Great Feature if you need to split the stay of a guest for let's say 2 nights in Room 1 and the rest of the nights in the Room 2.

6. Added Omni-Channel Visible in the Reservation as the Tab so you can chat with the guest right from the reservation preview.

7. Added option SHORT NAME in Settings > General under Property Name so you can add the short name of the property and easily manage it. Very useful for large Property Management Agencies.

8. Added option in the Settings > General > Invoice Settings 'Allow Custom Articles Typed in Invoices' which allows or disallows that you can use extra services that are not inside Rooms/Extras.

9. Added new localizations in Arabic & Greek languages so that our new partners can use the system in their native language. OTA Sync now speaks 17 languages!
