Edgar is a professional tool at the service of tourist properties and their guests. Thanks to Edgar, the Hosts can:
– assist the customer before, during and after their stay
– simplify the guest requests management
– built customer loyalty
– increase positive reviews
– earn more money
Thanks to Edgar your guests will have the opportunity to:
– Find out all the information on the Accommodation
– Book internal services offered
– Consult the Accommodation’s Advice Map
– Have access to a large database of Points of Interest
– Discover and Book Tours & Services throughout the territory
– Manage their requests and reservations directly through the App
– Chat with their Host
– Do the fast check in to avoid wasting time on arrival at the Accommodation
Edgar consists of two tools:
– the Extranet available to the Host that allows you to customize the contents of the app in a first phase and in a second phase to manage the operations
– the App, available to your guests who will be invited to download it immediately after booking and where they will be able to find all the information on the accommodation and destination, purchase internal and external services, make fast check-in and stay in touch with you.
On the Extranet, the host customizes the App and manages all the interactions with the guests. In fact, the host can:
– add and edit contents (info, POI, services, images, schedules, etc.)
– select internal and external services to be made available to guests
– select the services that can be purchased and the recommended points of interest
– manage guests requests for internal services
– check the progress of up-selling earnings
– chat with customers and send them push notifications
– manage guests’ personal data and download the txt file for the declaration to the Portale Alloggiati Web
With Edgar you can maximize the earnings derived from the sale of internal services and make Upselling of external services (supplied by default and integrable) which does not require any intermediation role between the customer and the service provider.
No, but by enabling the Fast Check-in (in the Internal Services section) you will allow your guests to fill in a form with personal data and a front / back photo of a document, useful for the declaration on the “Alloggiati Web” portal.
In the Bookings section, alloggiati web column, you can check which guests have done the fast check-in (as there will be a checkmark) and you can integrate the missing data of the guests who did not (by clicking on the orange icon).
Once all the ticks of the alloggiati web column with check-in date equal to yesterday will be green, you can download a .txt file (by clicking on “TXT PORTALE ALLOGGIATI”) containing the data of the Guests arrived the previous day, to be loaded on the Portale Alloggiati Web, to fulfill, with a single click, the burden of declaring attendance and thus avoiding the loading of individual records.
By entering the review link, in the Notification Management section, you will allow Edgar to send your guests, at the end of their stay, an email inviting them to leave a review in the destination link.
Fast check-in is a service that allows your guests to check in simply and quickly directly through your App before arriving at the facility.
Your guests will only have to complete the Fast Check-in form with personal data and a front / back photo of a document.
The Edgar App is the tool that will be used by your guests to always have all the information of the accommodation at their fingertips, discover the internal services that you propose and explore the surroundings with your advice.

The Internal Services are taken in charge directly by the Host. The External services do not require the intervention of the host.
When a guest books a tour, an experience or a service on the External Services section, the request goes directly to the service provider.
The host will not have to perform any intermediation but will still earn a commission on what is spent by the guest.
These are the services offered by the accommodation itself.
You will be able to give shape to your detailed menu of services through the Extranet so that your guests can discover them, book them and if you want to also pay them through the App.
You can insert free services “on demand” among the Internal Services in order to manage them through Edgar app.

You will see the bookings history made by the customers associated with that reservation. In this way you can quickly calculate the amount to be paid at the check-out.
The External Services section is dedicated to the destination and, where possible, it is already populated with Points of Interest (marked with “i”) and the Services & Activities that can be purchased (marked with the “€” symbol).
Within the section you will have the possibility to customize the contents by selecting Points of Interest and Services & Activities by:
– showing them
– hiding them
– advising them (visible in the advice section)
– adding others (visible in the advice section)
This section will be on the app as a real guide of the destination for your guests.
You will earn a commission on the amount spent by the guest for the purchase in the App that will vary according to the type of service.

A screen will open where you can enter your collaborator’s email.
The experience / service provider will receive an email in your name inviting him to register for free on Guide Me Right, where he can create his profile and his offer and manage customer requests.
A commission will be applied to each transaction that we will split with you.
You will therefore earn a fee on what your guests spent on purchasing external services through the app without having to play any intermediary role.
The cost depends ONLY on the number of rooms / apartments managed and NOT on the number of apps.
