Q3 2023 Breezeway Product Updates

Brittney Bergevin
Breezeway Product Updates

 

As we wrap up Q3, we're excited to spotlight the recent enhancements introduced to the Breezeway platform and mobile app. From efficiency-boosting features to tools designed to elevate guest experiences, we can't wait to share our progress in improving our product over the past three months.

Let's delve right in!

New Product 

Introducing Insights  📊  We are driven by our client's requests and needs and are thrilled to introduce Insights - the brand-new reporting tool! We're kicking off with two pre-built reports, the Operations Report and the Review Report, with more exciting additions on the horizon.

The Operations Report is your go-to resource for admins and supervisors to dive deeper into your company's operations. It offers invaluable metrics on tasks, such as logged hours, outstanding tasks, comprehensive summaries, and more. Our Reviews report taps into reservation review data for a closer look at guest sentiment regarding your properties. It's a powerful tool for admins and supervisors to gauge guest satisfaction.

New Integrations

Airbnb 🏡 Breezeway has officially become an Airbnb software partner! With this partnership, you can seamlessly connect to Airbnb, gaining immediate access to properties and reservations. You can start immediately if you want to migrate your existing properties or add new ones. This means you'll have swift access to guest information, check-in/check-out dates, add-ons, and listing details—all directly from the Breezeway Platform. We've also integrated Breezeway messaging for Airbnb communication, making staying in touch with your guests more accessible.

Airbnb Reviews ⭐ Now you can effortlessly link your Airbnb account to Breezeway without importing properties or reservations. Once you've incorporated the Airbnb Reviews integration into your account, Breezeway will automatically retrieve company-wide review data, showcasing your commitment and consistent work results. You can conveniently align properties between Airbnb and Breezeway to access reviews at both the property and reservation levels. This feature is valuable for customers with a Property Management System (PMS) integration for property and reservation updates but want to make the most of our Review Insights.
