Corporate Housing News

Elina PMS has announced the launch of Elina 9, introducing 79 product enhancements designed to simplify reservation management, improve operational visibility and give corporate housing operators greater control over their portfolios.

The latest release delivers significant improvements across the reservation calendar, invoicing, unit management and day-to-day workflows, with a particular focus on usability and the changing operational requirements of short, mid and extended-stay accommodation providers.

A redesigned reservation calendar

At the centre of Elina 9 is a redesigned reservation calendar featuring 16 dedicated improvements to usability, operational visibility and booking safety.

The new calendar introduces customisable colours and views, advanced filtering, easier access to reservation and property information, and smart allocation rules to help reduce booking errors.

For corporate housing operators managing reservations across multiple properties and locations, these improvements provide a clearer overview of availability, upcoming arrivals and departures, and unit movements, making it easier to accommodate extensions, relocations and changing guest requirements.

Greater flexibility in corporate invoicing

Recognising the complexities of corporate housing billing, Elina 9 introduces enhancements to how invoices are generated, managed and presented.

With greater flexibility around billing periods, tax treatment, currencies and reservation amendments, operators can better accommodate the varying invoicing requirements of corporate clients, relocation companies and extended-stay guests.

These developments aim to reduce manual administration and support more consistent financial processes, particularly when reservations are extended or amended during a stay.

Enhanced unit and ancillary management

Elina 9 introduces additional flexibility in managing individual accommodation units and ancillary services.

Operators can create custom fields to capture property-specific information, manage ancillary items such as parking spaces and lockers, and use unit-level date controls to manage availability and operational requirements.

These enhancements provide greater flexibility for businesses operating diverse accommodation portfolios with different property configurations and guest requirements.

A connected platform for corporate housing

Beyond the latest enhancements, Elina PMS brings together essential property management and operational capabilities within one platform.

Key capabilities include:

• Reservation and property management for short, mid and extended stays

• Multi-property and multi-location portfolio management

• Flexible invoicing, payments and financial reporting

• Automation across rates, availability and guest communication

• More than 50 reports, lists and dashboards

• Built-in channel management with access to over 2,000 distribution connections

• Integrated direct booking and online check-in capabilities

• More than 70 integrations and open APIs

Through its integration ecosystem, Elina connects with specialist technology providers across revenue management, accounting, housekeeping, maintenance, guest experience and access control, giving operators the flexibility to select solutions that best suit their business.

Looking ahead: greater control over direct bookings

As part of its continued investment in technology, Elina PMS is also developing a Headless Booking Engine, designed to give operators greater freedom over how they deliver their direct booking experience.

Through Elina’s APIs, operators will be able to access the underlying booking infrastructure, including rates, availability and reservation functionality, while maintaining control over the design, branding and customer journey.

For corporate housing providers working with corporate travel buyers, relocation agencies and business clients, this approach offers opportunities to develop tailored booking experiences aligned with their commercial and operational requirements.

The Headless Booking Engine is currently in development and forms part of Elina’s future product roadmap.
