QloApps Availability Notifier

The QloApps Availability Notifier module equips hotel admins with a powerful tool to manage room availability requests.

From the backend, admins can easily track and monitor all customer subscriptions for unavailable rooms. 

Admins receive real-time alerts when rooms go out of stock or reach low availability.

This not only keeps the staff informed about the unavailability period but also helps them plan how and when to restock or make rooms available again.

It simplifies room availability management and ensures timely action.

They can view detailed insights such as total subscribed users, customer-wise statistics, and the number of notifications sent.

This helps admins stay informed about booking trends and demand peaks, enabling better operational planning. 

The module integrates seamlessly with QloApps, requiring minimal configuration, and fits naturally into the existing hotel management workflow.

The QloApps Availability Notifier module allows customers to subscribe for alerts when a room becomes available for booking.

This module is particularly useful for hotels experiencing high demand or during peak seasons.

It improves guest engagement by allowing users to express interest in specific rooms even when they’re currently unavailable.

Customers receive automated notifications via email or SMS once the desired room becomes available again.

The system helps hotels capture potential bookings that might otherwise be lost due to temporary unavailability.

• The system shows the “Notify Me” button only when the room is not available for booking.
• Works seamlessly for both guest users and registered customers.
• Admin can view and manage all notify requests from the backend.
• Admin can delete or monitor individual notification requests.
• Supports real-time checking and syncing of room availability with inventory.
