BOOKONE ORBIT Release Update — What's New Release- Date: 22 June 2026

A Smarter Home Screen: The New BookOne Orbit Dashboard

The Home Dashboard has been completely rebuilt. What was once a starting point is now a real-time command centre — giving hotel owners, managers, and front-office teams instant access to the metrics and operational details that drive every decision throughout the day.

Modern Dashboard Layout

The visual foundation of the dashboard has been rethought from the ground up:

•     Redesigned interface with improved visual hierarchy and a cleaner, more organised layout

•     Better accessibility of operational and revenue insights without navigating away from the home screen

•     Optimised mobile responsiveness and navigation for both Android and iOS devices

KPI Overview Cards

Four enhanced KPI widgets now anchor the top of the dashboard, each displaying live data with performance comparison indicators:

•     Revenue — today's total with trend direction

•     Occupancy — live room fill rate

•     Bookings — current booking count

•     Customers — active guest count

Performance comparison indicators have been added to each card so you see the trend — not just the number.

Revenue Today Widget

A dedicated daily revenue widget now shows:

•     Total consolidated revenue for the day

•     Room Revenue and F&B Revenue broken out as separate contributions

•     Visual progress indicators for real-time performance monitoring

For properties with active restaurant operations, this split view means you stop guessing which side of the business is carrying the day.

Today at a Glance — Operations Dashboard

Four operational summary cards now appear directly on the dashboard, giving front-office teams everything they need in the first 60 seconds of a shift:

•     Arrivals — count and details of expected check-ins

•     Departures — guests scheduled to check out today

•     In-House Guests — current occupant count

•     Vacant Rooms — real-time inventory availability

Outstanding Balance Tracking

Pending payment visibility is now built into the home screen — no separate report required:

•     Total outstanding payment amount across all bookings

•     Guest-wise balance breakdown so collections can be prioritised before checkout

Arrivals & Departure Management

Today's Arrivals

•     Dedicated arrival section with guest name, room assignment, and booking source

•     ETA and payment collection status visible at a glance

•     One-tap access to arrival management workflows

Today's Departures

•     Departure bookings section with unsettled checkout balance flags

•     Clear visibility of pending actions before guests leave the property

Stay View Preview

A live Stay View panel now lives directly on the dashboard, displaying room status by category with four occupancy indicators:

•     Occupied

•     Blocked

•     Hold Until

•     Tentative

One tap opens the full Stay View when a detailed room-level picture is needed.
