Booking Automation
Toronto, Canada
What it is
Booking Automation is cloud-based property management software for vacation rental owners, property managers, hostels, and hotels. Its channel manager exchanges inventory and prices and imports bookings through two-way XML/API connections, with iCal synchronization also available. A secure, customizable, mobile-friendly booking page supports direct bookings without commission. Payment gateway connections let users accept card or PayPal payments and collect card details for in-house charges. Yield management can adjust rates across booking channels according to availability and time before check-in. The system supports multiple properties, agency functions, multiple logins, and subaccounts, with standard and customized reports that track booking origin. Named integrations include PayPal, Stripe, PriceLabs, Mailchimp, and Integromat, alongside 50+ leading OTAs. The company describes the service as self-service and directs account holders to support tickets. Pricing for the first 1 to 10 rentals is $11.95 a month per rental; the pricing page says PMS and unlimited channel connections are included, with no booking fees, commissions, or minimum term. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is listed.
