This month the team at BookIt welcomes a range of new members (full list below). Customers booking through the system will be jumping out of more planes, hitting the slopes on more mountains and staying in a wider range of properties than ever before!

Among the new BookIt accounts is Seekom. Existing suppliers in Seekom's Open Distribution Network (ODN) can now push inventory and rates out into BookIt. This opens up new sales channels with an integrated and efficient approach. We look forward to working with you all over the coming seasons.

Some of you may have noticed we have revamped the BookIt WebCentre to provide a more comprehensive and intuitive layout.

You will now find more ways to manage your products and bookings. The revamped "Product Setup" section allows you to add or remove products and update your rates, descriptions, images, cancellation policies and more, all in one place.

If the remodelling has you a little lost, don't hesitate to get in touch with us and we'll be more than happy to walk you through!.

Here are some handy new features and tips for using the BookIt system:

Quick block-outs: If you receive a booking request for dates that are not available, you can now "block out" the dates in one easy step, without having to go to the calendar separately.

Cancellation policies: Operators can now review and amend their cancellation policies in the BookIt WebCentre. You will find this under "Product Setup" in the menu. Any policies that you enter will automatically be applied if a customer cancels their booking.

Sales by Product Report: This new report shows you which of your products are selling best. Operators can use this to monitor and improve sales campaigns and promotions.
