Hi Jeff If you go to Configuration & Setup - General customer settings - you can change the default country for new customer records (e.g. USA) Surname to Last name - we will make that possible to edit - at the moment that is a standard field tha...

that might work! nice weekend, Luit

Hi Luit You can do this already - when you go into dates & prices for the hotel - instead of creating a room, create a rate? Doesn't that do what you want? If not, can you create 1 option - and use that as your temporary mechanism to store your ...

Hi Alex, That is why we want to define a "Rate / Room" in the dates & prices table of Tour/Hotel in which we can temporarily "virtually" allocate the whole group at a flat rate. In that way we can add just one line to the booking for the whole s...
on Friday
Can you use a hotel rate for that? (rather than a room?) A hotel rate has no concept of availability. A hotel room is a fixed capacity occupancy.

Hi Alex, Would it be possible to overrule the actual number of beds in a room for a Hotel/Tour to create a flat group rate? What I would like to do is: - create a Rate name called Group rate - book the whole group in this one room at a flat rate...

Now it looks fine for me! If you do some levels, e.g. for accomodation, with the blue lines as well, maybe there are too many blue lines in different levels, so that it looks confusing. Maybe you can do these lines in another colour - a lighter on...

I like this new design What we also need to take into account is where 2 tour/hotel level products are in the booking engine at the same time - which creates 2 (or more) option tables. Hence at that point you would end up with many (in this desi...

Yeah - the mechanism for recording a customer record as a member of staff is particularly handy when you want to make a manifest of who is doing what tour - and you need the staff to be listed on that report. If you have any specific suggestions ...

If this works with the style we already have configured in Website Manager settings then the new default standard setting is fine for us. Will our layout automatically go to the new version, or will we have to tweak? don't want to end up with more...

Thanks Alex, I didn't realise that this could be done, so thanks! I think that it should sort out the problem. It might be worth considering some sort of option for staff travel in the future though. As there is already a field in the customer r...

26th October 2009 - New release - Multi lingual tour product fields and a few tweaks

Just a few tweaks in the last couple of weeks as our time has been spent working on laying foundations for the new project that we emailed everyone about a few weeks back and will be announcing shortly.....

Travel product setup

* Able to store multiple language descriptions for each tour / option.

e.g. imagine you have a French and an English website. Setup one website channel to be in French, another to be in English. You can now load against the French website tour descriptions in Fr… Continue

8th Oct 2009 - New release - Website rebuilding and a lot of small booking management tweaks

Pretty large release went live yesterday

Booking management
* Able to set a default component order for an itinerary - so if you are a tour company that sells hotels, or a hotel company that sells tours, you can get the correct component to show at the top of the list regardless of the dates of the individual products

* Can now add a note for further information on travel agent commission (e.g. payment date etc). Also a tick box whether commission paid (and in the sales ledger section y… Continue

Wish TourCMS luck with Travolution awards 2009

A few months ago we were shortlisted in the Best technology provider category of the Travolution Awards 2009

On Tuesday evening (29th September) we will find out whether we have won! Wish us luck.

Our view is that we have always focussed on providing just the technology. We believe that as web based software you want to be able to evaluate the system, run your project and get trading using TourCMS with the minimum of input from us. In effect this means we ONLY provide the technology, no… Continue

28th July 2009 - A few new reports

Just a few tweaks this week

Tour/Hotel

* Able to swap between counting days and counting nights for hotel product types (remember between today and tommorow is 2 days but 1 night). You can't swap on hotel product types that have bookings, but at least this will solve various setup issues when you are learning the difference between the two types

New reports

* Channel report - so you can see the % of your bookings that come via your web booking engine (vs the staff booking engin… Continue
