BEX App Store — Recap of September 2026

Six new apps, CloudPass for owners, personalized CAT access cards, and special periods in BigQuery.

New: Goboony and Glampingtips.nl integrations via Qenner

Two new apps have become available for the Benelux market through channel manager Qenner. Goboony as an OTA specializing in campervan travel, and Glampingtips.nl as an affiliate for unique accommodations or luxury glamping.

New: Benelux booking platform Valoma

Valoma is a specialized platform where guests search for and book holiday homes, chalets and lodges at holiday parks. For owners and managers of holiday parks in the Netherlands who want to increase occupancy — in high season, but especially in the shoulder seasons too.

New: Campmap digital park maps

Campmap facilitates digital campsite or holiday park maps featuring search, navigation, and direct booking options. Guests can select available spots on an interactive map and jump directly to the Booking Experts checkout. The app is available globally.

New: Recras for activity and stay packages

Connect Recras to BEX PMS to allow guests to seamlessly reserve activities, packages, food, drinks, and experiences alongside their stay. Guest data transfers automatically into Recras, where activity management and payments take place; while the guest’s accommodation is entirely managed in Booking Experts.

New: DATEV Connector for cloud

The DATEV Connector integration automatically creates DATEV import files for bookings and PDF receipts. With a single click, data is exported from Booking Experts and converted into DATEV files or transferred directly to DATEV Cloud.

CloudPass vehicle access for owners

Owners with active agreements and registered license plates now automatically receive vehicle access in CloudPass. The system automatically maintains access duration for open-ended agreements.

Personalized CAT access cards for guests

It is now possible to generate personalized CAT access cards, for each person on a reservation guest list. Cards copy guest names, birth dates, and stay dates directly from the guest list of the booking.

BigQuery syncs special periods for reporting

Special periods and their configured date ranges now sync directly to your BigQuery data warehouse. You can now analyze seasonal performance regarding custom packages, holiday weekends, and event trends, alongside standard reservation data.

BEX PMS — Recap of August 2026

Restrictions, booking portal payment step, map in back office, group booking invoice template, and more.

Centralized availability restrictions

The new Restrictions grid replaces legacy allotments and type exclusions across the platform. Managers can open or close availability for parks, channels, and types. The system protects online availability and channel strategy, while allowing backoffice overrides.

Integrated payment step in booking portal

The online booking flow now includes a dedicated payment page. Guests can select payment amounts and apply vouchers directly in the portal. This update eliminates unnecessary redirects before reaching the payment provider.

Using interactive map for new reservations in backoffice

Creating a single reservation now includes a toggle to access a map view. Provided that an interactive map is set up, backoffice users can use that map to directly select an available object marker. This visual approach simplifies object selection.

Enhanced group booking filters

When creating a group booking, filters for segments and amenities are now available to further specify available objects. Another new selector also allows assigning a dedicated channel to a group booking.

Customizable group booking invoice summaries

Invoice templates now offer grouping options for group booking charges. Managers can edit a template to combine identical invoice items by name and tax rate. Summarizing invoice items in this manner improves invoice readability for corporate clients using group bookings.

Modernized interface for sending confirmations and invoices

The PMS pages for sending booking confirmations and invoices have an updated, responsive layout. Primary action buttons stay fixed on screen without scrolling. A new sidebar displays quick summaries of reservations and payment schedules.

Price calculation details in the guest portal

The guest portal now shows the calculation logic used for extras and upgrades. Per item, a tooltip or subtitle indicaties the cost breakdown, such as 'per person per day'. This transparency helps guests understand total charges before purchasing extras.

Owner pages show agreements with metrics for personal stays

In an owner’s detail page, more agreement details are displayed instead of focusing on objects only. Users can view metrics such as occupancy and reviews, alongside the applicable owner reservation discounts for personal stays.

BEX CMS — Recap of August 2026

Settings centralized in PMS brands, new UK/US locales, action logging, and video widget updates.

Google Maps API key management moved to PMS

The Google Maps API key configuration is now centrally managed within PMS Brands. This ensures consistent map functionality across every integrated platform, including all CMS sites. Administrators no longer need to enter or update the key separately within the CMS settings.

Google Tag Manager configuration moved to PMS

Google Tag Manager settings are now managed directly within PMS Brands. Eliminating separate CMS inputs establishes a single source of truth for tracking parameters. Centralizing these controls maintains unified web tracking across all digital channels, including CMS sites.

Ability to choose between UK or US English

The CMS now provides distinct UK English and US English language selections. Platform administrators can choose which best suits their site content. These options replace the previous generic English setting to support localized content strategies.

Enhanced site activity logging with Last actions

The new Last actions page, located in the CMS management menu, tracks user modifications across site settings, pages, and subsites. The detailed log records who performed each update along with the exact time of the action. Clear visibility into historical updates improves operational context, team collaboration, and overall accountability.

Streamlined video management in BEX video widgets

BEX video widgets now utilize a centralized dropdown menu linked directly to your video library. Selecting assets from the library eliminates manual ID entries, and the system also prevents accidental deletion of active videos.
