US: Self-managers are getting the chance to bring their property operations in line with the biggest management companies as a result of a partnership between vacation rental management platform Hospitable and property operations specialist Breezeway.
It is the first time that Breezeway has integrated with a PMS [property management software] specifically dedicated to owners managing rentals themselves, without the help of a third-party property manager.
Hosts leveraging Breezeway’s tools will now seamlessly sync reservation and listing data from Hospitable’s PMS directly into the operations platform, allowing for effortless real-time management of their rentals. By plugging booking data into Breezeway’s powerful suite of tools, which automate and optimise tasks such as maintenance coordination, cleaning scheduling, and guest communication, hosts can maintain and run properties more efficiently.
The partnership aims to level the playing field for those who might have limited resources or struggle to exceed the industry standards expected of bigger rental companies. By allowing self-managers to sync their PMS data with a cutting-edge operations platform, hosts are equipped with the tools needed to streamline their operations and drive higher quality stays.
Hospitable’s PMS is designed from the ground up with the unique needs of self-managers in mind. With a solid foundation in core technology solutions and a strong focus on community support, Hospitable sets out to empower the growing segment of vacation rental investors who choose to manage their properties independently.
Pierre-Camille Hamana, founder and CEO of Hospitable, said: “Self-managers are the backbone of the vacation rental industry, but they often struggle to professionalise their business and services simply because they don’t have the resources to compete with larger rental managers.
“Through our integration with Breezeway, hosts can sync their data with professional-grade operational tools, boosting the ease and efficiency of their day-to-day management. Such a big part of running a rental is managing back-of-house operations, which can be time-consuming and expensive if you’re a solo host with limited resources.
“Giving self-managers the option to automate their operations, from organising cleaners to scheduling maintenance, is going to be a game-changer,” he added.
Jeremy Gall, founder and CEO of Breezeway, said: “Every stay, whether it’s managed by a property management company or singular host, should offer the highest standards of quality and cleanliness. It also shouldn’t be a total headache to manage a rental by yourself.
“Partnering with a PMS that champions self-managers means we’re bringing operational tools to the fingertips of so many hosts who have previously lacked the resources to drive the same level of quality, through their operations, as the larger property managers. We believe hosts should have access to the tools they need to efficiently manage their operations whether they own one rental or 20.
“Raising the standards and elevating the quality will drive the entire industry forward for guests, hosts and property managers,” he added.
Founded in 2016, Hospitable is a vacation rental software provider offering a suite of tools that empower hosts to automate the most time-consuming elements of hosting.
Breezeway, a platform for managing all the work of maintaining and cleaning short-term rental homes, has helped thousands of hosts and managers deliver the highest quality hospitality experiences for millions of guests – across more than 250,000 homes in 80 countries.
