Create a brand

Every organization needs a brand to make communication to your guests your own. Set a default brand or add specific brands for administrations or channels.

Go to 'Brands' in your PMS organization settings. If you work with more than one brand, you can add them all. However, start by adding the default brand. The specifications of a brand are reflected on invoices, emails, templates, and in the various portals.

You need the rights of an organization manager to set up brands.

  • Click 'New' to add a new brand, and give it a descriptive name.

  • Determine its communication style, and upload a logo file or url. You can also add a favicon, and add another logo for use on white backgrounds if desired.

  • The theme colors that you can set are a primary and secondary color, a text and background color, and a header text and header background color.

  • Set the desired font to use.

  • Determine where the brand should be applied.

Applicability of brands

If you add more than one brand, their applicability determines which one is used where. At any point, you can deactivate a brand by selecting 'Not applied'.

For your default brand

Choose ‘All administrations’, to make this brand the default. All existing and new administrations under your organization will use this brand if no other specific brands apply.

For an administration brand

Choose ‘Specific administrations’, to make the brand apply to one or more specific administrations within your organization. If such an administration brand exists, it will be applied instead of the set default brand.

For a channel brand

Choose ‘Specific channels’, to make the brand apply to communications and portals through one or more specific channels, of one or more of your administrations. A channel brand overrides any applicable administration brand or default brand.

After creating a brand, also pay attention to the web settings of each brand; this is important for the connected websites that use this brand.
In the 'Brands' page, click the ellipsis button for the relevant brand, and select 'Web settings'. Read more: Web settings for PMS brands
