How will it benefit the properties?

  • Simplified login process for faster and more efficient access to the platform.
  • Ideal for users of Google Password Manager, which only supports two-field login forms.
  • Increases user convenience and reduces login-related friction, improving engagement and efficiency.

2. Max V2 – Channel Mapping – Search Feature

What is the update? 

Our properties are happy to map the channels to their dashboards. This update introduces a new search feature in the Channel Mapping module of Max V2. This feature allows users to search by:

  • Room name
  • Rate plan name
  • OTA Rate ID

Screenshot 2024 11 19 at 8.36.52 PM


3. Max – Room Type – Add Linked Room Type – Bulk creation

What is the update?

  • The Room Type module in the Max product now has a bulk creation feature for the Add Linked Room Type function.
  • This enhancement allows properties to create multiple linked room types at once.
  • It simplifies the process of setting up linked room types for different rate codes across all room categories.

How will it benefit the properties?

  • Saves time and reduces manual effort: Properties can now create linked room types for multiple room categories in one step, rather than setting them up individually.
  • Streamlines rate management: Easily manage and apply specific rate types, such as Dinner Bed & Breakfast, across all room types.

Steps to Use the Bulk Creation Function in Add Linked Room Type

1) Initiate Linked Room Type Creation

  • Click on the ‘+’ icon to add a new linked room type.

Screenshot 2024 11 19 at 8.38.15 PM

2) Select Rate Code

  • Choose the desired Rate Code and click Next.
  • Tip: You have the option to create a new rate code directly on this page if needed.

Screenshot 2024 11 19 at 8.41.57 PM

3) Select Rooms to Link

  • A list of parent room(s) that are not yet linked to the selected rate code will be displayed.
  • By default, all available room types will be selected for linking.
  • Note: If all parent rooms already have linked room types for this rate code, a message will inform you that no additional links are needed.

4) Edit Room/Rate Name (Optional)

  • If required, you can edit the Room/Rate Name before saving.

Booking Engine Updates

Booking Engine Product update 11. Max – Booking Engine – Travel Agent – New Login Process

What is the Update?

The Max Booking Engine has introduced a new password-free login process for travel agents. Instead of setting up and remembering a password, agents can now log in using a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to their email, making the login experience simpler and more secure.

Steps for the New Login Process:

  1. Property creates the travel agent account.
  2. An email is sent to the travel agent’s registered email address with a link to the login page.
  3. Travel agent clicks the link and is redirected to the portal login page.
  4. On the login page, the travel agent enters their email address.
  5. An OTP is triggered and sent to the email address.
  6. Travel agent enters the OTP on the verification page to complete login.
  7. All password-related fields and links have been removed from the login page.

2. Max & Swiftbook – Booking Engine – Manage Bookings – New Login Process

What is the update?

The login process for managing bookings in Max and SwiftBook has been simplified. Passwords are no longer required to access the account. Instead, users will log in using a One-Time Password (OTP) triggered to their email each time they sign in.

What are the steps?

  1. Enter the email address used when making the booking.
  2. Click on ‘Sign In’ – this will trigger an OTP to be sent to the provided email address.
  3. After clicking ‘Sign In’, users will be redirected to the OTP page to enter the code received in their email.

Screenshot 2024 11 19 at 11.07.30 PM


3. Max – Swiftbook – Maximum Days For Advance Purchase

What is the update?

The new feature, Maximum Days For Advance Purchase, is now live on SwiftBook. This setting allows you to control how far in advance guests can book specific deals or rates. By configuring the maximum number of days in advance for bookings, you can limit reservations to a specific booking window.

  • Booking Window: This defines how far in advance a guest can book. For example, if set to 30 days, the deal will only be available for bookings up to 30 days in advance.
  • Difference with Minimum Days For Advance Purchase: The Minimum Days For Advance Purchase requires bookings to be made a specific number of days before check-in. In contrast, the Maximum Days For Advance Purchase limits how far ahead bookings can be made.

Example Use Cases:

    • Limited Time Offer: Set the “Max Days” to 2, making the deal available only for the same day and the following day.
    • Advance Booking Offer: Set “Max Days” to 30, making the deal available for bookings within the next 30 days.

How to set up?

  1. Go to the Booking Engine Module.
  2. Navigate to BE Packages.
  3. Select the Package you want to apply the rule to.
  4. Under Rules & Restrictions, configure the Maximum Days For Advance Purchase setting.

Screenshot 2024 11 19 at 11.10.02 PMThis feature provides flexibility to create deals and manage advance booking limits based on your business needs.
