The problem
An international investor bought a 120-room condo-hotel outright and hired a general management consulting firm with no hospitality or PMS expertise to get it operational. Months in, nothing was configured. The team had no grasp of the tech stack, channel connections, or trust accounting. The investor was paying premium rates for people learning on the job.
Our approach
- Audited the existing account state, channel connections, and trust accounting configuration
- Built out the full PMS with channel setup across Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com
- Configured automation rules, message templates, and smart lock integration
- Wrote SOPs and trained the on-property team on daily operations
- Built owner statement and trust accounting workflows from scratch
The outcome
Full operational readiness in weeks, not months. Team trained, automations running, and the investor stopped burning money on non-specialized help.
Takeaway
Hospitality tech has sharp edges. Generalists charging expert rates is a common, expensive trap.
