Introducing an exciting addition to our Trust Accounting module that empowers you to exercise greater control over housekeeping charges. Now you have the flexibility to set specific housekeeping charges for each night of the stay directly within the system. This means you can automatically charge fees, for example for guest consumable items, to a designated account. A more tailored and efficient method for your team to manage housekeeping costs.

In addition, we developed a feature to model trust accounting charges, such as daily breakfast revenues to pass to management, based on the age category of guests. Previously charges were based on the number of guests, whereas now you can specify different charges for adults, children and infants.

Our upgraded filters allow users of your accommodation booking engine to refine their search results by a variety of criteria, including price per person / stay, number of bedrooms, and the types of meals included.

Filters can be used in real-time to narrow-down property options, and to display only matching room types and rate plans; empowering prospective guests to effortlessly find stays that meet their needs.
