Corporate Products
Corporate Products are products that are set up on the corporate level, and each is linked to a specific Property Product. This is to ensure that when an inquiry is converted to a booking on the property level, the corporate product automatically matches to the correct property product in the booking. This helps with reporting as well, and as it saves time for the hotel. This setup is especially useful for teams managing inquiries across properties.
For example, 'Corporate Dinner' is linked to a property’s 'Dinner' product.
If a Corporate Product is chosen but hasn't been linked to the property's specific version of that product, it won't show up on the booking once the conversion is done.
Create a Corporate Product
- As an Admin search 'Corporate Products' on the App launcher
- Select ‘New’
- Enter the 'Corporate Products Name' and select the appropriate 'Type' (e.g., Name: Corporate Dinner, Type: Food).
- Search 'Products' on the App launcher.
- Choose the product you want to link with the Corporate Product (e.g., Dinner).
- There will be a field called ‘Corporate Product’ add the newly created Corporate Product.
Note: Each property can only link one product to one Corporate Product. Trying to add more will result in the following error message.
Best Practices for Corporate Products
- Start by checking with your Director of Sales, as your hotel may have strict policies on how to use Inquiries. The SOPs will provide guidance on when and how to add Events, Guest Rooms and Products.
- Ensure that each Corporate Product is linked to a Property Product
