OPTION: Inventory
Module If your operation has complicated
rules to set availability by for example:
You have a lodge for 20, 3 vehicles for transporting
clients, 20 pieces of rental gear and advertise a
3,5,7 day tour all using the same inventory the Adventure
Engine system can handle it.
If a group books out Dec 25-28th with a 3 day booking
the 5 and 7 day will no longer be available.(unless
the system manager overrides)
It is perfect for lodges, ships, tours using multi
inventory shared across trips that affect availability.
In our experience most tourism operators can mange
with the base module and extra to manage their inventory
and rentals but if you have a complex scenario like
the one above - we can handle it. And our staff set
it up for you!
- rule setting: inventory is assigned rules like:
- is it included or an additional cost
- is it mandatory or optional
- is this item viewable by the client during booking
or just for management
- does this item affect availability or not
- black out dates
- inventory build - a "parent" can be set
like Lodge A then "children" added like
all the rooms and their individual capacity create
availability for the parent lodge.
- transfer clients from one inventory item to another
- full reporting
- inventory is created then assigned to trips, one
change to inventory automatically updates all trips
that use it
And remember:
- customizations on any level of subscription available
Unlimited, free customer support available 6am - 9pm
PST seven days / week. Guaranteed 24 hr response time
