- Check the import of future bookings, prices and restrictions.
- Ask the inbox ten real guest questions, including two sensitive ones.
- If you're a property manager, generate a test owner invoice.
- Calculate the cost over twelve months for your exact number of properties, options included.
To switch afterward: switch PMS without losing your bookings.
