3. Make management of special opening hours easy for your team: edit all locations at once or change dates for individual location's
4. Publish special opening hours via API to GMB via our partner.
   

Informing clients online about up to date opening hours should not be complicated. We once met a client who had to manually change the Christmas opening hours for more than 500 stores. It took them more than 5 working days to complete the changes.

Internal IT systems that contain store data are often not flexible enough to handle complex changes. You can change the dates for every weekday. Changing the dates for one individual day in the calendar and not for all Mondays can already be an issue. Customer front ends usually show opening hours for the next 7 days. That can make it impossible to inform clients about upcoming holidays in advance.  So you can not publish a pre-warning like: yes we are open on July 4th, but we close at 3pm and open an hour later.
