HEADLINE FEATURES
New this year
Each feature links to its help article.
Discounts
FEB 2026Create, manage and apply discounts to guest reservations. Assign them to specific guest profiles and apply them during the stay or at check-out. Typical uses are staff stays and service recovery.
City Tax
JUN AND JUL 2026Set up and process local city taxes with ease. The June release delivered the configuration, the July release added the PMS side, so the module is now fully functional.
Overbooking
JUN AND JUL 2026Accept more reservations than physically available rooms to maximise occupancy and revenue. Overbooking limits are checked in the Reservation Enquiry, Room Plan and reservation dialogs before an action goes over availability.
Early Check-Out
JUL 2026Let a guest leave before the scheduled departure date. It works for in-house reservations once the night audit has run on the day of arrival.
Advanced Routing
AUG 2026Automatically direct charges to a specific invoice, guest, company or reservation, based on routing rules you define once.
Daily Rates V2
FEB AND APR 2026A reworked daily rates view, introduced in February and fully upgraded in April. The calendar week can also be shown above Mondays in the Room Plan, Room Type Plan and Daily Rates.
RESERVATIONS AND GROUPS
Flexible bookings for every guest
Better tools for shared rooms, large groups and busy arrival days.
One room
Two or more rooms, one reservation
Component rooms
DEC 2025Combine two or more physical rooms into one room under a single reservation, which suits families and groups.
Sharer reservations
OCT 2025 TO SEP 2026 · RELEASE NOTESCertified third parties can now create and change sharers through the IDS integration. Sharer confirmations can be printed or sent straight from the Room Plan, and default templates for them are included.
Group reservation without reservation
AUG 2026Create the group and configure its details first, then add or assign reservations to it later.
Bulk actions
JUN TO OCT 2026 · RELEASE NOTESAssign several reservations to rooms in one step, now also from the Arrivals and Reservations lists. Edit key cards for many reservations at once.
Allotment Rate by Day
SEP 2026 · RELEASE NOTESA milestone of the September release for allotment pricing. The booking cart in Reservation Enquiry also gained Active, Expired and Completed tabs for a clearer overview.
PAYMENTS AND BILLING
Smoother payments
Pay by Link keeps getting better, and invoicing is easier to control.
Pay by Link
OCT 2025 TO SEP 2026 · RELEASE NOTESChoose which postings of an open invoice a payment link covers. Authorised staff can confirm that no link is needed for a reservation. When several guests share an email address, the payment message is now sent only once.
Invoice details
FEB TO OCT 2026 · RELEASE NOTESThe invoice header shows the booker of the reservation. When you change the primary guest or the booker, the PMS now asks whether to update the recipient of open invoices too. The Hotel Status Report can be filtered by original invoice date.
Discount permission
SEP 2026 · RELEASE NOTESThe invoice discount permission now sits in the standard front office role instead of the manager role. You can still build custom roles.
MULTI-PROPERTY
One view across your portfolio
Set up, monitor and report on every property from the CENTRAL app.
Dashboard v2
OCT 2025 · RELEASE NOTESFilter the dashboard by one hotel or several at the same time.

EVERYDAY WORK
