Group Quotation
📊 Enhanced Group Displacement Chart Display
The detailed insights provided by our groups displacement chart just got even better!
We have expanded our shoulder displacement calculation capabilities to now break down your group request into
primary and secondary displacement
, even over the block dates.What this means for you is an even more granular understanding of:
- Primary displacement- business you can no longer accommodate over block dates due to lack of available inventory if you take the group
- Secondary displacement- Stay through business that would have arrived before, or departed after, the group that you can no longer accommodate despite having availability inventory outside of block dates
Previously, any displacement on block nights was categorized as primary. Now, you have additional visibility into the types of displacement you can expect over the full stay pattern.
Please note - Your displacement table will continue to reflect total displacement as a sum of primary and secondary
📤 Happy quoting!

🗓️ Unlock the Power of Multi-Property Price Settings! ✨
Managing multiple properties in FLYR just got easier! You can now create
Price Settings
and Notes
for multiple properties at once 🚀✨ What’s New
Multi-Property Price Settings
- Quickly define seasonal or event Price Settings across multiple properties in one-go.
- Define deviations from default or seasonal settings with percentages or fixed amounts.
- Automatically handle overlapping settings with smart date adjustments.
Multi-Property Notes
- Add and manage notes for multiple properties to stay organized and aligned.
🫶 Why You’ll Love It
- Save timewith bulk actions tailored for large portfolios.
- Take controlof pricing strategies with powerful, flexible tools.
- Keepyour portfolio in sync with centralized note management.
📝 How It Works
If you have access to multiple properties, we facilitate you the creation of Price Settings across your portfolio:
- Toggle the Multi-Property option on and select the properties for which you want to create the setting.
- Define the minimum and maximum deviation from the current default or seasonal settings. This deviation can be a positive or negative percentage or amount.
- A price setting will be created for each of the selected properties based on the following logic:
- Seasonal Price Setting: Uses default plus min/max deviation if a seasonal setting is in place.
- Event Price Setting: Uses seasonal settings if present; otherwise, default plus min/max deviation.
- Rounding: The rounding defined at the inventory group level will be accounted for when calculating the final min/max setting.
Overlapping Settings
: If any of the properties has overlapping settings, decide whether to override existing settings or skip the properties. If overlapping settings exist, dates will be adjusted as necessary. For example, creating a setting for Christmas Day only (25th December) while another setting exists for Christmas & New Year (25th December to 1st January) will result in separate settings: one for Christmas Day and another for 26th December to 1st January.Once created, you can
customize
the Price Setting for each property independently. Adjust values, update exact dates, and tailor settings to meet specific demand requirements.Thank you for your continued support and feedback. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please reach out to our Advisory team via chat! 💬
