Customers want the ability to bulk update rates so the task of updating next seasons rates is not so time consuming.

When we are loading the new rates seasons for a product (for accommodation mainly) eg. Superior Suite, we load the option (eg Double Room) with 4-5 different date bands and rates, from here we need to be able to copy that option’s pricing and dates to other options within that product, eg. Twin Room, Single Room etc. At the moment, we enter the exact same dates and rates up to 4-5 times for each date band and then duplicate this a further 4 times into each option. That equates to duplicating 12-20 sets of rates (depending on the amount of options) that are normally the same, unnecessarily. Making each Product within a Supplier 4 times as long to enter as it should be.

Rates are provided by suppliers in wildly different formats and saved as PDF. Word. Excel, CSV, Slides or sometimes just as email content.

We need to interpret the hotel rate data, sometimes make calculations to add or deduct taxes or commission variables then add using the Tourwriter import CSV file or one by one manually into Tourwriter.
