Booking Notifications

BLUE-7474 - Business Planner: Added booking notification functionality.

Marlin's new Booking Notifications function enables businesses to update customers about their bookings via sms or email.

Email and sms templates can be set for each booking notification type, by editing the relevant Planner.BookingNotifications enterprise settings.

See the Booking Notifications Inform guide for further information.

Marlin can also be configured to send and receive electronic supplier orders directly to Burson.

To enable EzyParts integration please contact the Megabus Support Team.

Marlin's new Podium integration enables centralised review requests and other follow-up marketing communications to be sent to customers.

To enable Podium integration please contact the Megabus Support Team.

See the Podium Inform guide for further information.

Vehicle Database Quick Matching

BLUE-7489 - Customer Orders: Added a Quick Match function to simplify the addition of vehicles from the vehicle database.

Rather than having to enter individual attribute details each time, Marlin's vehicle database enables vehicles to be quickly added to bookings and orders from an extensive list, which is loaded into Marlin and updated regularly by the Megabus Support Team.

The vehicle database now also supports the addition of Quick Match and Custom Vehicles, for when specific vehicle information is unknown or cannot be found.
