Aspenware is excited to deliver another milestone in elevating the guest experience, specifically for POWDR resorts. Working with two third-party vendors, Arrive Parking and Hoorooh Digital Services, Aspenware now delivers real-time parking availability to Powdr customers purchasing through the Aspenware platform. This enhancement eliminates the need for guests to visit a different site after completing their purchase through any of Powdr’s ecommerce sites, giving the guest the ability to purchase everything they need in a single purchase. In addition to the integration, Aspenware has enhanced Cross Sell functionality to be more robust, providing guests with visual reminders and easy navigation to products that may not be “top of mind”, parking being an excellent example.

Common Troubleshooting guide
...
A: Aspenware will generate an order# in RTP|One but currently any Arrive product(s) will show as a blank line item in the order. Therefore resort’s guest services teams will not be able to see or manage Arrive orders within RTP|One and will need to reference Arrive for managing parking reservations.
Q: My images aren’t showing as expected, how do I fix this?
A: Depending on the image at issue there are several resolutions:
The first image uploaded in admin will be shown on the product card and when the guest first navigates to the PDP.
The second image uploaded needs to be tagged with the Title “Parking Map” and this will trigger the image to show in the parking map area of the PDP.
Lot images are configured in Arrive parking. To modify these make changes in Arrive.
Q: Can refunds be managed through Aspenware Commerce?
A: No, refunds can only be managed by contacting Arrive directly.
Q: When is the latest opportunity a guest can trigger a refund?
A: The guest can submit a refund through Arrive’s email, Arrive’s website, or Arrive’s app up to one hour prior to lot opening.
Q: Can I issue a guest a refund after their reservation has expired?
A: Resort guest services teams at resorts cannot perform this action. Guests or resort staff will need to contact Arrive directly to request this.
