Reports – Days to Purchase

June 18th, 2010

We recently added to almost all the reports a new field called “Days to Purchase”.  This new field indicates how far out your guests are making purchases allowing you to better understand the different between purchase date, and activity consumption date.

At the bottom of these columns you will find two values, pre-calculated for you:  average and mean values.

Online Promotion Codes

June 13th, 2010

Promotional codes are obviously a part of your business, and if its not, it likely could be in the future.  We have been working hard on developing a module in Zaui for promotional codes that will allow our users an efficient mechanism to manage:

  • promotional code groups
  • promotional codes
  • validation dates
  • types of promotional codes
  • what the code is value for, how many can be used
  • reporting on your promotional codes from within Zaui

We’re very excited to have this module integrated into Zaui, and expect its completion August 2010.

Be polite – share your inventory!

June 10th, 2010

We should all listen to our mothers, and share your inventory!

The concept of shared inventory (also called common inventory), from the stand point of the Zaui application, only pertains to activities in the system, and not merchandise product or packages.
The intent of this new feature is primarily focused at allowing the Zaui use the ability to setup and
configure multiple activities, that share a common inventory source (the parent activity).

Examples of this could include:

  • a shuttle bus sold as 2 or more separate product, where guests are physically on the same bus
  • or, a zip line operation where there is only 1 zip course, but 2 or more zip activities booking into the same time slots.

As such, the primary focus of this new feature can be summarized in the following way:

  • the ability to configure a parent activity
  • ability to setup/configure a child activity

If you interested in more specific details, how to implement, or have nothing else to read, then check it out here:  Zaui Software_v3.0.Shared Inventory

And remember, your mother is always right!

Automatic Guest Look-up

June 10th, 2010

We have recently added into the system what we call “Guest Look Up” designed to precious time in data entry at the time of taking a booking in the system

The Guest Look Up allows the reservation agent the ability to look up and make use of previous customer data in the system, auto-populating their information on the booking screen.

This new feature is intended to assist you in the following ways:

  • save time on customer data entry
  • view customer booking history
  • automatically re-use previously entered customer data
  • update current customer data on subsequent bookings
  • reduce duplicate customer records
  • keep clean customer data records

The guest look up feature and functionality is available for each guest you add to the booking screen
when creating a new booking, or working with an existing booking.

Interested in all the details, Zaui Software_v3.0. Guest Lookup

Working hard to improve the system for our customers.
