Generating and uploading the police customer profiles report for Catalonia in Mews Operations

To comply with legal requirements in Catalonia, Mews Operations offers an integration that helps you generate a daily police customer profiles report. The purpose of this report is to provide law enforcement agencies with up-to-date information on individuals staying in the country. Use this integration to automatically compile guest information into a single file each night. Note: This is not a direct integration, so you need to manually upload the file to the Mossos d'Esquadra platform.  

 

The Catalonia police customer profiles integration (Registro de viajeros de establecimientos de hospedaje) replaced the previous Catalonia police accommodation integration (Registro de viajeros de establecimientos de hospedaje). You need to disconnect the deprecated integration.
