Tech Stack for Short/Mid-term rentals

[Connor Misch]

For those that own or are managing short/mid-term rentals, what is your tech stack?  

Here's mine:

PMS: Hospitable

Listings:
- Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com (all connected through Hospitable)
- Apartments.com
- Furnished Finder

Payment Processing: I'll use the payment processing on whatever platform I get a booking on, except for direct bookings, in which case I'll use Charge Automation (Stripe is the underlying payment processor we're using with Charge Automation).

Smart Pricing: I've been using Beyond pricing, but they charge you for direct bookings and make you submit an excel file at the end of each month indicating which bookings are direct and shouldn't be billable.  I'm looking for a better solution here.

Smart Locks: Ultraloq (z-wave).

Smart Lock Management: We had been using Rboy apps to manage the codes, but they had an issue at the beginning of the year and I don't know if they're back up and running yet.  Fortunately Hospitable now has an integration with Smart Things.  Rboy was more robust so hopefully they get back up and running.

Cleaning: We just started using Turno.  We had been working directly with a cleaner but the communication was getting to be a lot and calendars didn't seem to line up (cleaners walked in on a tenant once).  Our first cleaning using Turno is coming up at the end of the month so hopefully that goes well.

Direct Booking Website: None, currently.  I'd like to get this set up so I can route direct bookings there and have them initiate the booking from their end.

I can't think of anything else, but interested to see if other people are using something that I'm not.

@Mohammed Rahman We're just getting started, so 1.  We have 4 other long-term units that we're considering moving to furnished str/mtr.  It's been somewhat difficult as there are better tools out there that might solve some of the annoyances and small issues, but it's just not cost effective until we ramp up.
