Keep up-to-date with the latest system releases, RoomBoss news & team updates.
System Updates
- Released a new feature for our B2C booking engines. It's now possible to make it mandatory for your customers to enter their names using the alphabet as opposed to using kanji.
- Improvement to the performance of the Housekeeping Report for users who have hundreds of rooms and/or who wish to estimate how busy future housekeeping will be over a large number of future dates.
- Various performance enhancements.
Invoicing & Cancellation Strategy by Rate Plan
Until now it's been possible to set a Strategy at the account level that determines how invoices are automatically created, and unpaid bookings automatically cancelled.
Now you can now create additional Strategies and link a Strategy to a Rate Plan. For example to establish different automated policies for guests who book a discounted, non-refundable Rate Plan versus those who book a more expensive and flexible Rate Plan.
Make use of the minimum nights and other criteria of the Rate Plan to more precisely control how automatic generation of invoices and automatic cancellation occurs.
Your existing Strategy is still in effect so there is no need to take any immediate action. To take advantage of this new feature you can access the new page in your account or browse documentation for more information.
Search & Quote Upgrades
The Search & Quote page has been modernized and includes a number of new features:
Support for Rate Plan promotion codes.
A price filter that allows lower and upper boundaries to be specified.
Support for quoting in alternative currencies, for accounts where payment in more than once currency is accepted.
