I - Content Management System (CMS) for sevice-providers (hotels, motels, hostels, inns, etc.) |
 |
url for CMS is www.dagospo.com/admin
- After registration, users are given username and password to use the CMS through the Dagospo portal. There is also an option to change the password.
|
 |
With username and password, the user is given access its own CMS. |
 |
The CMS has five menus namely:1) Basic Info for data such as name of hotel, address, email etc. 2) Room Classification - the names of the different rooms, price, image name and description 3) Occupancy - the daily data inputs of customers using the rooms and facilities 4) Accounts - data on the payment history to Dagospo 5) Sign Out - exit to the CMS to avoid possiblity of entry by non-authorized users. This set of menu will be explained below. |
 |
Pieces of basic information are shown in details. These data can be edited or deleted and saved in the database. During editing, the image name is required to enable uploading of picture of the establishment. |
 |
The digital image of the establishment in jpg, png or gif format can be uploaded and automatically resized from any size to a default dimension. |
 |
The Room Classification menu has the standard utility of CRUD (Create, Review or Edit, Update and Delete). It has also the capability to upload images of rooms of any size which then will be automatically resized to default dimension as provided for in the sytem. |
 |
The occupancy menu is the most active menu in the CMS. It has three clickable main functions namely; one-one-live chat with the customer, web invoicing, and walk-in ciient data input.
There is also a preview for data inputed coming from walk-in clients as well as data of monthly occupancy for the current year.
Date indicators are also available to show if data are up to date. |
 |
The one-on-one live chat with customer is used to get, important data such as the date of booking, name of customer, email, type of room, payment amount made in G-Cash or Smart Wallet etc. The live chat is similar to yahoo messenger except that, in the former there is more privacy, becuse only two parties are chatting at a time without any interference from others who may distract the transaction being made. |
 |
After getting the important data from the customer, the web invoce is used to enter them in the database. The web invoice can get as much data on rooms needed by the customer using the add row button. By clicking the compute button, it can also compute the total amount of bill. The book button is used to save data and automatically send the temporary electronic receipt to the customer through email.
There is also a calendar to keep the customer posted of the date of booking.
The web invoicing facility is powered by AJAX (Asynchronous Java Apache XHTML) technology together with php and Mysql that send data to server without page refresh. |
 |
Once the book button is clicked to save data and send the electronic receipt to the cusotmer, through the AJAX technology, an indicator pops up to inform user that the data is saved and electronic receipt sent to the customer. |
 |
To the left is a sample copy the electronic receipt sent through automatic e-mail. The customer will show this e-receipt to the receptionist of the hotel during actual stay. |

 |
All entry in the web-invoicing GUI can be edited, updated, or deleted through the its search facility |
 |
An editing page pops up after the search facility is fired. The edit link is clicked to input the necessary changes. |
 |
Similar to the web invoicing page, the necessary changes are made and the update button is clicked to save the changes. The user has the option to send the updated receipt to the customer by clicking on the check box. |
