Hi Mews community! 🌟Check out our new releases in April below 👇 🚀 New Features A smarter way to price for the seasons in Mews Operations! Tired of creating multiple rate copies just to handle seasonal pricing? Now, you can define dependent rates based on check-in dates, directly from the pricing grid.   Accounting is now easier with unique descriptors for Mews payouts. Ever wished you could easily distinguish Mews payouts in your bank account? With unique payout descriptors for your property, tracking Mews payouts is now simpler than ever.   Say goodbye to passwords, hello passkeys! No more password struggles, verification emails, or waiting for codes. Mews now offer a faster, more secure way to log in; Passkeys. Passkeys are secure tokens you use to unlock your account; just use Face ID, your fingerprint, or PIN to unlock your passkey and access your account: no password needed. You can even store them in your browser or password manager for easy access. You still need your emai

Hey Mews Community, Ever misplaced a key and found yourself locked out—or worse, relying on a spare hidden under the doormat? Now imagine a digital key: one you can’t lose, and hackers can’t phish. They’d need more than a doormat to find a spare. Welcome to the world of passkeys.  🗝️ What Are Passkeys? Passkeys are a modern, secure alternative to traditional passwords. They use cryptographic keys stored on your device, allowing you to verify your identity using biometrics (like a fingerprint or facial recognition) or a PIN. This eliminates the need to remember complex passwords. The beauty of passkeys lies in their simplicity and security. Unlike passwords, the private key never leaves your device—making it immune to phishing attacks and significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.  💡 Why We’re Bringing Passkeys to Mews While tools like 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) with apps like Google or Microsoft Authenticator have strengthened account security, they aren’t foolproof.

Hey everyone! 🙋🏽 I wanted to remind you all about a fantastic feature in Mews that can significantly enhance your productivity and streamline your operations: Custom Links. 🌟 If you haven’t explored this functionality yet, or forgot it exists, you’re missing out on some serious time-saving benefits! ⏰ Here are some key advantages of utilizing Custom Links in Mews: 1.

Quick Access to External Systems:With custom links, you can set up quick access to external systems right from your Mews dashboard.

For HOLI City Apart Hotel in Berlin, rate management was an all-too-familiar challenge: pricing was time-consuming, and manual adjustments couldn’t keep up with fast-moving demand.

For German hospitality chain JustStay, pricing used to come with a catch: their previous RMS (Revenue Management System) wasn’t fully integrated with their PMS, which meant delays and disconnects between pricing decisions and what actually appeared online. Now, with Atomize seamlessly connected to Mews, those frustrations are a thing of the past. “We’re excited to see Atomize take our revenue management into a whole new era.”   – Dr Christoph Hamann, Managing Director at JustStay.  Integrated systems, optimized outcomes Before Atomize, JustStay struggled with slow, clunky processes and missed revenue opportunities. But Atomize’s deep integration with Mews changed everything. Price updates flow directly from Atomize to the PMS and onto OTAs – no delays, no manual fixes, just smooth, automated revenue optimization. The JustStay team now benefit from: ✅ Seamless, real-time pricing updates across all distribution channels ✅ Less time spent on manual corrections or pricing admin ✅ A smarter

When Norwegian group Kronen Hotels automated their revenue management through Atomize, a Mews company, they unlocked massive time savings – 50 hours per week across the group. Not only that, RevPAR jumped by 35%. Want to know the story behind those numbers? 👇  Revenue management, simplified For Kronen Hotels, managing the revenue strategy for five different properties meant applying pricing updates and tracking market and competitor data – all manually. That's hours and hours of time that could be spent on more valuable tasks. They needed a system that would streamline their operations through automation.  “Atomize turned out to be exactly the system we needed. It automatically collects and analyzes live internal and market data 24/7 for the next 365 days. This saves us about ten hours a week per hotel, which comes to fifty hours per week in total.”  - Chris Pedersen, CEO, Kronen Hotels  But Atomize is about more than time savings. With real-time price recommendations, the team can en

Hi Mews crew,  We’re excited to introduce you to Multicurrency by Mews Payments – a brand-new feature dedicated to driving revenue into your property. Let’s take a look at how this could be a game changer for your business.  🔎 What is Multicurrency? Cross-border transactions can be confusing and stressful for international guests. They’re often presented with one price at purchase but then incur hidden bank fees further down the line. Multicurrency has been built to solve that. International guests are given the option to make payments, both online and in-person, in their home currency – with fees being presented transparently. Plus, your property boosts revenue by retaining a portion of markup fees that are usually kept by the banks. So, you can elevate your guests’ experience and, at the same time, create a revenue stream for your business. That’s a win-win. If you’d like to learn more, we’d encourage you to check out this webinar we recently hosted where we share:  How Multicurrenc
