RoomRaccoon Release 22.3

Date of Release: 21 June 2022

The new release of RoomRaccoon is designed to improve the user experience on the All in one Hotel Management system. 

What’s New 

RaccoonHousekeeping

Our new RaccoonHousekeeping is designed to fully automate housekeeping in your property by providing more functionality to keep you and your housekeeping team aligned with a new interactive overview. 

• Integrated housekeeping overview - you can add team members and assign them to rooms with the option to notify them via the RaccoonHousekeeping mobile view. 

• Forecast features from your reservations to plan and assign housekeeping accordingly.

• New Maintenance feature to add issues and assign them to a maintenance team member.

• New Lost and found reports feature. 

Tokenisation

Credit card tokenisation is the process of completely removing sensitive data from a card and replacing it with a randomly generated, unique placeholder called a token. RoomRaccoon is making these changes towards tokenization to be fully aligned with the most innovative security demands and maintain PCI compliance.  (add - For Peach payments)

3DS 2.0 

Peach Payments has begun supporting 3DS 2.0 which is an additional measure over and above tokenisation to ensure we handle payments in the most secure way possible.
