📊 Mirai Metasearch's old dashboard will no longer be accessible after February 17, 2025. Users can log in with existing credentials to the new dashboard via the same URL. The updated dashboard includes a renovated Business Intelligence section, a more attractive and modern interface, improved ergonomics, and more customizable options. The new dashboard offers detailed reports for analyzing metasearch campaign performance, new filter spaces, executive summary in Global View, KPI Evolution for tracking performance indicators, customizable Report Builder and Report Builder Plus (+) tables, and upcoming sections for competitive rate analysis (Beat Meet Lose) and conversion funnel visualization for Google Hotel Ads. A Reporting section for PDF reports and a Reservations section will also be integrated while maintaining functionality from the old platform.

📋 Mirai introduces a new booking engine feature called "Réservez, réfléchissez et payez" (Book, Think & Pay - BTP) to enhance service for clients, improve direct channel conversion, and increase direct bookings online or via phone, WhatsApp, SMS, or email. Clients are given a configurable period post-booking to provide credit card details for "pay at hotel" rates or make immediate payments online. This feature is particularly useful for reservations made through phone, WhatsApp, or SMS, allowing secure payment link generation, overcoming double verification challenges, and ensuring transactions in a secure environment. Up to 75% of clients complete their payment with this system, while 25% do not. The feature offers customizable settings like payment deadlines (e.g., 24 or 48 hours), applicability based on direct sales type, booking window, rate type, market, or device, and integrates with the hotel's existing payment platform without additional operational costs. Contact Mirai's account managers for setup assistance.

💸 Mirai integrates with Cloudbeds, joining its extensive list of channel managers and PMS. The integration streamlines operations, allowing real-time management of availability, rates, restrictions, and automatic updates of bookings and cancellations to PMS. Cloudbeds, serving tens of thousands of properties in over 150 countries, offers a unified and scalable hotel management platform. No setup or monthly fees are charged by Mirai for connecting to Cloudbeds.
