Step towards unified email inbox 0 replies

I'm wondering if there could be an email address associated with our account that we could copy on emails that would then import the communication into OR. It could match it up based on the guest's email address. This would allow the history of all communication to be in OR, even without a true unified inbox. Just an idea so we don't have to jump back and forth from OR to a separate email inbox to see communication.

Have you looked at the integration partner KeyData?   We use them for dashboards and pacing details.

Here is an example of the type of data you can get...you can setup all kinds of filters and groups and click to link into the various data to help you understand where you are, where you are going and where you were for the prior years where you have data.   You can be as specific or general as you want to be.  This is for our motor lodge property showing this year and last year and then the pacing information is the AS of Date... so you can see that last year at this time this is what I was doing and compare it to where you are this year.   They have market data so you can compare where you are to those in your market.   We like to compare motel data to motel data in a market versus all rentals for example.  You can get all the way down to the individual bookings if you want to.   They also tell you where your customers are coming from... feeder markets and zip codes to help with marketing, etc... It is definitely worth it for us.   

I believe there is another thread where I also would like to see a dashboard inside of OwnerRez that helps us understand things like who is coming in, who is going out, paid and unpaid, answers to our booking questions, tags they may have, where did the booking come from, links to the conversations with the guest, door lock codes, etc... etc... etc... etc... having to run a report or two or dig into each of the bookings to get this information that we use a lot every day could be much less time consuming.   They also need to add some type of functionality that has the status of the guest... ie are they checked in, or checked out of the property. (and a trigger for this... first door lock use, they answer a question, use a guidebook link or something...) and a status and trigger for the property with options like guest ready, dirty, occupied.   Could be triggered off of the guest... ie if they checkin the property is now occupied.   If they checkout the property is dirty, when housekeeping is done with it they could again click a link or scan a barcode in the owners closet or something like that which would indicate that the property is now guest ready.  (Icons could appear on the ribbon next to the property and on the booking or booking hover as to the statuses.  (I think I have made this request before as well... it is probably out there somewhere.)

Hi folks, I don't see this feature available. Did this land and maybe I can't find it?

I would love to get notified when my batteries are low as we've had a few close calls recently.

Thank you!

Hey Kim,

Not yet. It's planned, but we've not reached a point to be able to push it into development yet. We'll keep everyone posted with updates here in the thread as they become available.

Because of GVR's requirement for surcharges and discounts to not include position numbers, I am needing to manually duplicate all of my existing surcharges/discounts to make modified versions just for GVR. This is so exceedingly cumbersome, time-consuming, and prone to error since it has to be done 100% manually. PLEASE add the ability to duplicate existing surcharges and discounts!! 

Trigger condition > when a tag is added or deleted 1 reply

Add a new messaging trigger, for as soon a tag is added or deleted from a booking. My use case scenario is this: when a guest confirms and  pays for extra services (e.g. pool heating, when renting a crib-stroller-bbw grill, when requesting a complimentary early check-in or late check-out, etc; all this is done thru specific mini web portals that the guest accesses), certain tag(s) are added to OR via an API call by my property management software; I currently also have to add a note (via API, too), to make the trigger work, so a specific message template is sent to the guest.

It will be useful a type of Dashboard that is a "visual tool" with key metrics that tell you how the business if performing at a Top level, and I could adapt by Property. Example, Income, Expenses, Profit, Loss, Deposits, Task due by Unit, Ave # of Days per Booking, Ave Price per night, Rev Par,  (Drill by Month vs YAG or Previous Month)  YTD vs YAG.

I also noticed I can not log Vendor information.  Basic information such as Name, address, Phone, Email so that I can communicate directly from Owner Rez.  These are all necessary for managing Long Term Rentals.

Thanks!

I can't believe this feature doesn't exist.  Is the only work-around to have two people share the primary login?

Allow setting Arrival and Departure DATES and GAP NIGHTS by Season 1 reply

Richard M

Joined Mar, 2023 3 posts

We are restricted to a minimum 14 day booking by our Association documents. Our peak months are February and March where we are 100% booked every year, so we are forced to use Request to Book for these 2 months to keep someone from booking in the middle of the month, and block/waste the VERY profitable weeks on either side.
If we could set mandatory arrival and departure DATES (instead of day of the week) by Season, we could use book now and get access to many other channels. 

Also, at the same time, allow setting of GAP NIGHTS by Season, for the same reason.

Hi, everyone!

We've been hard at work fine tuning PMv2, among other big ticket features and upgrades across the entirety of the system. We sincerely hope to get recurring expenses into testing before Q4 this year. I won't make any promises at this time, but I will say that I'm personally feeling very optimistic about it.

Rest assured that the Product team is aware of the demand for this request, and we're actively seeking out an available slot on the 2025 roadmap to get this tackled.

We appreciate everyone's patience. Please share this request with likeminded users who would be willing to give it an upvote if they'd find this beneficial. Those upvotes allow us to determine where the demand is highest across all of our Feature Requests.

Cancellation policy by season? 36 replies

JTC

In the past we have used a crude manual solution to address this issue.  Beginning March 1 each year, we block off the following winter and relax our cancellation policy so people can book the off-season.  Then July 1 we open up the winter and change the policy back to being more rigid.  This only works because we have big houses that sleep lots of people so booking lead time is consistently long-range.  This approach has obvious shortcomings, but it's better than having someone cancel a $15k reservation 14 days out in peak ski season when chances of re-booking the dates are near zero.   ( Again, our approach would be completely different for a 2BR condo.)
