New Features

 

PMS: Introduced digital wallets option

Since digital payment has become popular and most of customers are preferring digital wallets to pay dues, we introduced three digital wallets PayPal, Paytm and Googlepay in a new digital payment category to accept the local or international currency. Users can easily add more digital wallets from the payment option.

PMS: Housekeeping => Lost and found 

Based on the wishlist of popular demand, we introduced a new feature named lost and found in housekeeping module. Every lost and found item can be reported in the mycloud system housekeeping module where information about missing or claimed item can be recorded, and the claimed item can be marked as claimed by Guest in the system while collecting all necessary guest ids, and digitally archiving it.

PMS: Housekeeping => Loaned items

Another feature from our Wishlist, we introduced loaned items in housekeeping module to keep record of loaned items and let reception track the same. The system will inform the user about pending items that needs to be collected during check out.

PMS: Rates => Introduced max length of stay concept

Because length of stay is one of important criteria of hotel revenue management for optimizing the occupancy and revenue within the hotel, we introduced a maximum length of stay concept where hotel now can define rates and packages with minimum and maximum room nights stay.

POS: POS menu/Items upload utility

New utility tool is introduced to upload and process bulk menu Items. This utility is designed in such a way that users can download an excel template and add menu items with details in the excel sheet, upload excel file back to the mycloud POS and populate the complete POS menu.
