Scheduled tasks is a very practical tool. In fact, they allow you to define a task or a report that will repeat over a period of time, either daily, weekly or monthly.

No need to think about sending this information to your colleagues or service providers!

2- Customer mailing

Within your PMS, you can pre-create your sending emails , as well as personalize and group them according to your recipients. These emails can be used to send welcome sheets, booking confirmations, reminders for outstanding payments, or to announce an event.

These rates facilitate the commercial aspect of the work of your reception teams : indeed, from a reservation form, the receptionist can, at any time, see the different rates that he can offer to a customer according to different parameters: Dates of stay, number of people, type of room, segmentation.

In addition, the rates give you all the flexibility you need to develop your pricing policy, because they provide you with a whole range of constraints and restrictions.

Hoteliers, get paid!!!

Hoteliers, get paid!!!

 

 

The sale of a room is a negotiation like any other, where the price may be subject to conditions.

Contesting the payment of NANR ? It's from the past

The practice of NANR (non-cancellable, non-refundable) has become widespread as a condition for obtaining a more advantageous price for your customer.

In the event of cancellation, it happens more and more often that the debit or pre-authorization is contested by the card holder. It is often long, expensive, and sometimes impossible to obtain payment.

To overcome this, the Medialog PMS allows in its latest version to integrate PSPs (payment service providers).

The customer receives an email and makes a payment with double authentication, IMPOSSIBLE to dispute

An email with a payment link can be sent to the customers you choose ; the payment will then be made by the PSP and guaranteed firm in case of two-factor authentication.

Before check-out, the customer receives their invoice by email and can pay it online, without risk of dispute.

The integration of PSP into Medialog also allows you to send your customers an email before their departure which will allow them to consult their invoice, then if they wish to make the payment online.
