    You can customise it to do what you want to do. Put in the work to learn the back and end and build your own guest journey. You are not limited like other competitors to how the guest flow goes, you build your own. Support are great in helping with this and always attentive

    As great as AKAI is, its only issue is we cant take payments through our PMS - AKIA is reluctant to work with PMS payments as it wants to take payment itself. If this cant be navigated and other opportunities within our PMS appear that can do what AKAI does, it will force us to move in this direction

    Usability
    Akia
    Once you get past the blanc canvas and begin to build, you learn its capability and become ingrossed. Easy, user friendly once you get your head around the set up

    Simple interface, easy to use in mobile or web format. There are little things worth tweaking, as always, but they also have frequent app updates to squash bugs and keep things caught up with current UX trends. It is easily accessible in the Facebook app and in its own app, making it quick to use

    Exceptional support. Hopefully they grow enough to have world wide support. Can be problematic being in oposite time zones

    Initially its a blanc canvas, once we got our head around that your good. It does take a fair few onboarding sessions to really learn. With the blanc canvas approached AKAI need to remember new buyers will be overwhelmed by this possibly
