Steps to switch your vacation rental software
What to know when making the switch
1. Do your research
Establish your goals and must-haves
If your vacation rental business has grown to the point where you’re considering changing property management softwares, it’s important to make an informed decision.
Research alternate options with your business goals in mind. Consider software providers with robust features, easy user interface, and must-have integrations.
Bonus points if you add support and training functionality to the mix.
2. Get second opinions
Use your network to get feedback and recommendations
Your industry peers will have opinions on what has and hasn’t worked for their vacation rental company. Use your network to get recommendations and red flags to look out for!
If your network makes a recommendation, look at their website and read through testimonials. Quality and quantity both matter here.
Additionally, vet providers by seeing how other industry vendors view their vacation rental software products. One quick way to gauge functionality and reputation is to check if this vacation rental software is a VRBO Connectivity Partner. This shows you how well your potential PMS will work with OTAs and distribution channels.
Streamline has VRBO Elite Connectivity Partnership status, meaning our software has industry recognition for working well with other vendors and OTAs.
3. Book a demo
