where work happens
Property managers rely on both the Multi-Calendar and the Inbox to drive bookings, but from entirely different operational angles: one for high-level portfolio operations, the other for direct guest communication
My goal was to bring complete reservation management into both tools without disrupting their primary task, enabling instant rate adjustments in the calendar and real-time inquiry resolution in the inbox, zero tab switching required
Solution
Two layouts;
Two layouts;
one integrated sidebar
To support both workflows without context switching, I designed a single, context-aware reservation sidebar embedded across both tools. This compact version of the main reservation page delivered consistent data and core actions for instant booking edits
Unified inbox full
context messaging
Every chat thread was anchored with the contextual reservation sidebar. Bringing reservation details, listing data, guest status, automated messaging, and retrievable quick links directly into view enabled users to edit bookings and resolve inquiries in real time
Multi calendar gridwith on-demand context
In the Multi Calendar, the sidebar triggered dynamically only when selecting a booking from the grid. Tailored for calendar management, it surfaced essential rates, occupancy metrics, and listing actions, allowing instant edits while keeping the grid view clean
Results
Operational efficiency
Improved response times in the Inbox and increased scheduling accuracy across the Multi-Calendar grid
Scalable architecture
Built a unified UX pattern that streamlined overall user onboarding across the core product suite
