Challenges
When selecting the ideal Property Management Software for their vacation rental management business, Valcambre faced very specific requirements, including:
Brand Awareness and Direct Bookings

Hence, they sought a solution that would empower them to effectively showcase their portfolio, increase brand awareness, and build stronger relationships with guests and property owners.
Payment Settlement Process
The manual process of generating invoices and tracking payments was time-consuming and prone to errors. Valcambre lacked a streamlined payment settlement system that could help them enhance financial management.
Organizing Cleaning Tasks and Check-ins
Valcambre struggled with effectively organizing cleaning tasks and check-ins, resulting in miscommunication and potential guest dissatisfaction. The lack of clear cleaning reports and checklists hindered effective coordination, particularly when managing a large number of properties as its business started to grow.
