Arkana Overview
Arkana is the brain of Volāre, available at arkana.byvolare.com. It is the FilamentPHP back office where the team configures everything the business runs on — suppliers, products, pricing, markets, customers and system settings — and it serves the REST API that feeds the public Web at byvolare.com. If it is not set in Arkana, it does not exist for the customer.
Brand name in the panel: Volare - Arkana.
Navigation Groups
Section titled “Navigation Groups”The sidebar is organised into eight groups. The first seven are declared in
backend/app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php; AI Configuration is contributed by its
own pages.
| Group | Manages | Docs |
|---|---|---|
| CMS | Editorial content served to the Web: home, collections, countries, regions, legal and footer pages, POIs, celebrity pages, about-us. | CMS |
| Suppliers | Supplier catalogue (hotels, activities, transfers), allotments, stop-sales and supplier insurance. | Suppliers |
| Products | Product templates and the market-specific products/offers the Web sells. | Products |
| Customers | Leads, clients, passengers, bookings and trips-to-deliver. | Customers |
| Flights | Flight searches, bookings, cached fares, dynamic cache routes and logs. | Flights |
| Markets | Per-market configuration (currency, locale, entity) that shapes what each country sees. | Markets |
| System | Users and roles, payments and gateways, transactional emails, activity log and external sync monitors. | System |
| AI Configuration | Content rephrasing and the rules that constrain AI-generated copy. | AI Configuration |
Top-Level Pages
Section titled “Top-Level Pages”These pages sit above the groups (ungrouped) and are the operational dashboards the team opens first.
Dashboard
Section titled “Dashboard”Revenue KPIs and P&L. The landing dashboard (page title “Dashboard”) renders the company revenue, cost breakdown, margin waterfall, unit economics and revenue-by-market from real bookings. Restricted to Admin and Finance.
See Financial Model & Revenue Dashboard.
Budget
Section titled “Budget”Business-plan import and budget-vs-actuals. Finance uploads the BP Excel workbook and the page compares budgeted figures against actual bookings per year. Restricted to Admin and Finance.
See Budget.
Book Flight
Section titled “Book Flight”Manual flight booking. Lets an operator search, verify and issue a flight booking by hand (for example
when the automated flow needs a fallback), reusing the Aerticket verify/booking pipeline. It is hidden
from the navigation menu (shouldRegisterNavigation = false) and is reached through the Book Flight
action on flight search results — see Flights for the safeguards that apply.
Access Control
Section titled “Access Control”Arkana sign-in is via Google OAuth restricted to allow-listed corporate domains; there is no public registration. Permissions are role-based — Admin, SupplierManager, SalesAgent and Finance — so each group and page is only visible to the roles that need it (e.g. Dashboard and Budget are Admin/Finance only).
