Personalise the Identity slide in the PDF export

The PDF export's Identity slide now uses the guest name from the personalisation panel (same as the interactive deck). The unified profile, avatar initials, email, and the five messy source-system records all take the configured first and last name, falling back to John Smith when no guest is set. Also drops the stray "R." middle initial that lingered in the translation file.

Drop the middle initial from the unified profile on the Identity slide

The master profile card on the right of the Identity slide showed the guest name with a spurious "R." middle initial. It now reads as first name + last name only, matching the personalisation fields in the rest of the deck.

Toggle the "One Platform" slide between data and lifecycle views

A subtle two-dot toggle sits in place of the period after "One Platform" on the Solution slide. Click the second dot to swap the fragmented-systems-to-master-profile diagram for a four-step lifecycle flow (Unify, Segment, Activate, Measure) with an animated return loop that visualises how insights feed back into smarter journeys. Reps can pick whichever view best matches the conversation in the room.

Export the Sales Deck as a print-ready A4 landscape PDF

A new "Export PDF" button at the top right of the deck opens the print dialog with a purpose-built layout: 18 editorial slides sized natively for A4 landscape, personalisation (hotel name, contact, date) carried into the cover and CTA pages, and the file pre-named "Bookboost - {hotel} - {date}.pdf" so reps can save and send straight from the dialog. The on-screen interactive deck is unchanged.

Sales Deck #17

Optional story-intro arc on the 2026 Sales Deck

A 4-slide narrative intro (expectations, two types, possibility, brand reveal) now wraps the problem section when you want to lead with the why. Toggle "Story intro" on the hero slide to turn it on or off. A short bridge paragraph links into the problem section when enabled. Translations cover en/de/se/nl.

Proposal Generator

Investment page splits cleanly across A4 pages

Long pricing sections with multiple properties used to spill awkwardly onto a second page, cutting tables mid-row. The investment section now splits at section boundaries: modules on page one, the per-property breakdown on page two, and if it still doesn't fit, the totals move to a third page. Short proposals still render on a single page.

Proposal Generator

Minimum monthly fee now holds when a property discount is applied

Previously, entering a per-property discount on the proposal pricing table would bypass the minimum monthly fee and undercut it. The group and single pricing tables now floor each property at the minimum (e.g. €399 / £350) even with discounts applied, matching the standalone pricing calculator.

20 Apr Fixed
Proposal Generator #15

Unsourced NPS figure replaced

The "4.7 Post-stay NPS lift" stat was removed because we could not trace it to a published case study. It has been replaced with "92% Repetitive questions automated" from Grand Hotel Lund.
