New “Super Admin” User Role
We've added a new Super Admin role. It's a quick and easy way to provide a user in your account with access to all system features, including management of other users. Available on the Users page in RB.
Provide Customers with Payment Choices
It's now possible to give customers two options to pay online for your services. For example, pair options such as Flywire (where customers pay in their currency) and Stripe (where customers pay in your currency). More information is available on our help site.
[PMS] Channel Manager Dashboard
We've launched a new Channel Manager Dashboard to easily monitor what room types and rate plans are connected to each OTA. It's also possible to download the connection state as an Excel spreadsheet. Coming next for the Channel Manager Dashboard is a feature to help manage the linking of rate plans with OTAs.
[PMS] Automated Gap Management
Set a Gap Management Policy that covers bookings received from your website, OTAs and travel agents. A Gap Management Policy can automatically protect against small, hard-to-fill gaps. It can also be used to prevent check-out and check-in on the same day, for example to allow time for housekeeping. Please refer to our Help Site for more information.
