Frequently asked questions
What software is needed for 100+ vacation rental properties?
A 100+ property operation requires: enterprise-grade PMS with portfolio-scale calendar and operations, robust distribution architecture, granular role-based team permissions, scalable housekeeping and task workflows, property-level analytics, revenue management, accounting integration, and a clear migration and implementation plan.
How do I evaluate PMS software at enterprise scale?
Evaluate how the system performs under real operating conditions — daily arrivals, same-day turnovers, exceptions and team changes — not just feature lists. Key criteria: workflow quality, data integrity, implementation support, integration depth and migration risk.
What integration requirements should I plan for at 100+ properties?
At 100+ properties, plan for: OTA channel API integrations (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo), direct booking engine, accounting system integration (QuickBooks, Xero), dynamic pricing tool connection, smart lock or access control integration, and potentially a custom API connection for internal systems.
What does migration look like for a 100-property portfolio?
Migration at 100 properties requires careful planning: data export from the existing system, property and guest record mapping, reservation history migration, team account setup, channel reconnection with minimal blackout period, and parallel running if possible. Confirm the vendor's migration support process before selecting a platform.
