What are the absolute most critical items that you require from a vacation rental management application? Maybe it's not a feature, but a function? Maybe you just want the application to be easy-to-use. Or maybe it's a benefit and you'd really like the software to be affordable. Everybody is different. The key word is flexibility. We've designed this application to be flexible and scalable. This flexibility allows us to quickly add new features, while simultaneously keeping our prices low. View our product tour.
When are new features launched? We utilize a rolling development schedule. This simply means that code updates occur every week. If a feature is "Planned" it means that it's made it into the development queue and is actively planned for deployment.
