Short-stay rental booking system
Sells nights through your own site and keeps availability in one place when properties are listed on several platforms at once.
When a property is listed both on your site and on booking platforms, availability is kept in several calendars at once. Two platforms sell the same night, a cancellation has to be carried across by hand, and the owner reconciles dates from messages and a spreadsheet. As the number of properties grows, seasonal prices, deposits and outstanding balances, invoices and check-in reminders pile on top — and all of it stays manual work, which is the first thing to slip.
We built a ready-made booking system where availability is kept in its own database tables rather than in generic key-value fields: filtering by dates is a database query, not a scan through listings. Platform calendars are parsed on a schedule and merged into one availability record, and our own calendar goes back to them through the same exchange. From there the system is built out step by step — from payments and invoices to owner accounts and partner programs.

Availability stays in one place
The system starts with the catalog and the calendar; payments, invoices, owner accounts and partner programs are switched on as they are needed. The platforms do not go anywhere: their calendars stay part of one shared availability rather than a separate sheet somebody has to reconcile by hand.
