Its reservation system shows real-time availability and provides automated confirmations and no-show protection. CRM tools cover customer segmentation, voucher campaigns, and automated marketing. Reports include AI-generated insights, app-store usage, revenue, loyalty performance, customer cohorts, and booking conversion. The platform supports Android, iOS, web, and API; its multi-tenant architecture is described as supporting unlimited venues and groups.
