Revolution Releases

Revolution Release 1.12.3

Optimization and improvement of the CRX site continues, to bring you more reservations. The Revolution Manager interface is more user friendly, through a ton of improvements. We have expanded our development team to allow faster development and software release cycles.

Car Rental Express - CRX

• CRX is now using Google Analytics to improve SEO and web traffic.

• You may find your Agency featured at CRX! The Homepage has been updated and now includes dynamic data for top agencies, cities, ratings and content updates.
• The Specialty Vehicles pages are updated, with new content.
• Credit Card Deposit text has been clarified: It is tied to Pickup time, unless an Agency specifically wants to take a deposit right after booking.
• Location Specific thanks messages are now displayed for reservations.
• The Travel Guide, accessed from the footer, has been updated and simplified to have only two layers: The top page and the city pages themselves, for faster navigation.

Global Traveler Program - GT:

• We have changed the way Rate Codes are setup for GT – An Agency needs to create all post-paid rates as dependant on a Base Rate. This allows an agency to opt out of post-paid reservations, if they choose.

• Vehicles names are now being built from the Image Gallery. This creates consistent make and model name displays at GT, which looks better to airlines, and others booking your vehicles.
• Vehicles information now includes Number of Passengers, Baggage and Doors.

Traffic Exchange Program and Partners

• Interface improvements have been made for BookingBuddy.com and OneTime.com. Those traffic sources have been resumed, as of December 2011.

• Hotwire comparisons have been setup, generating more quality Traffic to agencies participating in the program. Search a city for car rental, to see the comparison options at the top and bottom of the results listing.

Kayak Program

• When an agency participating in the Kayak program creates new locations, notifications allow these locations to be submitted to Kayak.

• Locations can now add extra notes and a phone number to every Airport Shuttle setup. This improves renter information available at Kayak.
• RentCentric: Sending of vehicle data to Kayak has been enabled.

Revolution Manager

The Revolution Manager interface is more user friendly, through a ton of improvements. We have expanded our development team to allow faster development and software release cycles.

• Better Navigation: Manager’s top menu is updated and displays sub-menus for every item, which allows users to go the needed destination faster, without additional page loads.

• Age Ranges can now be setup to be Location Specific (every Location can have its own Age Ranges, with its own Vehicle restrictions).
• Extra Products limitations in OTA codes are removed. Now the same OTA codes can be assigned to extra products or coverage, as long as the extra product’s rate codes and/or vehicles are not overlapping.
• The Default “minimum time to book in advance” is set to 1 day, instead of 0 days 0 hours.
• Seasonal Rates now have two buttons to increment / decrement prices, instead of having to enter new values.
• Checking agencies for Locations that don’t have Latitude / Longitude setup is now faster, meaning faster loading times for Manager.
• Added a “Remember Me” option on Manager Login page, to remember user’s email.
• Multiple images for vehicles are allowed to be saved.
• Created a page for Agencies that displays all reviews and comments in Manager.
• A Location’s Address and Country are now mandatory when creating a Location.
• The Car Sales module allows ordering of vehicles now.
• Pickup / Dropoff Locations: Now orders locations as defined.
