01The opportunity
Short-term rental hosts using Property Management Systems (PMS) struggle to synchronize pricing across multiple Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb and VRBO. Discrepancies in guest fees mean hosts either lose bookings on higher-fee platforms or earn less by trying to match guest-facing prices, costing them revenue and market share.
