2. Companies – some guests will belong to a company and GuestPoint® allows you tosee all the bookings made by a company and
to allow a company to be a Debtor so youcan
send them invoices (See Accounts Tab for more details). With GuestPoint® Premium you can also enable the Corporate Login option for your companies (See Corporate Login for details).
3. Agents – these are typically online agents (e.g. Wotif, Expedia) and
traditional travel agents (e.g. American Express Travel etc.) These
are companies that book a room on behalf of their customers and you need to send them an invoice for the room charges
Guests and Companies are automatically added to GuestPoint® when you make a new reservation. When you first start using GuestPoint®, you should set up all of
your agents. You can also add more
