Hello Softinn subscribers! If you are using both our Booking Engine Extranet & PMS, this video is for you.

If you turn on the auto-sync between the PMS and Extranet, when a reservation was received either in Booking Engine or PMS the room inventory will be auto-synced and updated between these 2 systems.

In addition, if due to certain reasons such as “Close a room for maintenance”, or “Close a room for a private event”, you can close the room inventory in Softinn PMS.

This info also will be auto-synced with Extranet Inventory page. On the Extranet Inventory page, you can see the 1 PMS Blocked, and your Booking Engine Available unit will be automatically reduced by 1 unit.

Check out this video for a simple illustration.

Scenario : You need to block ALL King Bed Room from receiving booking for 28th & 29th October, because of a private event. This is what you should do in Softinn PMS.

Check out the video & guidelines below to find out how to manage Softinn Extranet Inventory and Softinn PMS Calendar :
