The brief
Start with what is not working.
Good software decisions begin with the constraint, not a list of features or a preferred technology.
Front desk manually exporting reservations from RMS Cloud and re-entering them into a separate guest app, then reconciling both systems every time a cancellation or modification comes in?
Guest-facing app showing availability that is 30 minutes stale because the PMS sync runs on a scheduled job rather than a live webhook?
Plain answer
RaftLabs builds RMS Cloud integrations and hotel guest apps. For City Break Apartments in Dublin, our RMS Cloud booking platform with 250 keyless locks drove 7x growth in self check-ins and a 25% rise in direct revenue. A first integration starts around $8,000; a full guest app grows to $30,000 to $60,000.
What to remember
- RaftLabs is an RMS Cloud integration partner, listed on RMS Cloud's partner directory, serving hospitality operators in the US, UK, and Ireland.
- For City Break Apartments, a Dublin serviced-apartment operator, our RMS Cloud booking platform and 250 OmniTec keyless locks drove 7x growth in self check-ins, a 25% rise in direct revenue, and 20+ staff hours saved per week.
- A first integration (one workflow, one connection) starts around $8,000 USD and takes 2 to 4 weeks.
- A full guest app with mobile check-in and keyless access is a v1 you launch in 8 to 12 weeks, then grow; it ranges from $30,000 to $60,000 USD.
According to Skift Research's 2024 analysis, OTAs held a slight edge over hotel direct channels at $266 billion versus $262 billion in gross bookings, a gap that closes every year hotels invest in owned digital infrastructure. For properties running on RMS Cloud, a direct booking engine built on your PMS data is the clearest path to flipping that equation in your favor.
One RMS Cloud delivery, measured
City Break Apartments, a Dublin serviced-apartment operator, ran on RMS Cloud but check-ins and direct bookings were still manual. We built a booking platform and keyless access on top of their PMS.

Capabilities
What we build with RMS Cloud integration
We partner with you to improve your operations and guest experience by building deep, real-time integrations with RMS Cloud
- 01
Mobile check-In & digital key
Contactless check-in that syncs guest arrival status, triggers room assignments, and enables mobile key access. Guests get the immediate arrival experience they expect, and front desk staff are freed for high-value interactions instead of manual key handovers.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud · Mobile key access
- 02
Direct Booking Engine with RMS Integration
A direct booking experience that sits on top of RMS Cloud, giving you full control over brand and conversion flow. You drop the third-party redirect and keep high-converting traffic on your own site. That single change lifted direct revenue 25% for City Break Apartments.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud
- 03
Guest Upsell & Revenue Management
Real-time room availability and pricing from RMS Cloud power personalized upgrade and package offers delivered through your guest app, with zero staff effort at the front desk.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud
- 04
Keyless Access & Smart Lock Integration
We connect RMS Cloud check-in status with smart lock providers so access is granted automatically when check-in is confirmed. That cuts key replacement costs and takes room-access coordination off the front desk. For City Break Apartments we activated 250 OmniTec Bluetooth locks this way.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud · OmniTec · Salto
- 05
Real-Time Service Requests
Guest requests for housekeeping, maintenance, or late checkout route directly into RMS Cloud task management. Staff respond from one queue, and every task is logged against the guest record instead of a paper slip.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud task management
- 06
Loyalty & Repeat Guest Management
We track lifetime value and personalize offers based on stay history, all synced to RMS Cloud guest profiles. Repeat guests get a reason to book direct again instead of drifting back to an OTA.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud
- 07
Channel Manager & OTA Sync
We connect RMS Cloud with your channel managers and OTAs to sync rates and availability in near real time. That eliminates manual updates and closes the double-booking window between a website sale and an OTA sale.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud · Guesty · Cloudbeds · Booking.com · Airbnb
- 08
Custom Reporting & Analytics
Custom dashboards consolidate booking data, occupancy, ADR, and guest metrics from multiple RMS Cloud instances into one view. Leadership sees a live, consolidated picture across all properties without logging into each system separately.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud
- 09
Guest Feedback & Reputation Management Sync
We integrate third-party review and survey platforms with RMS Cloud, syncing ratings and comments to the corresponding guest profile. That turns criticism into operational improvements and gives a 360-degree view of every guest.

How we work
From scope to shipped
Every project follows the same four phases. Scope is locked and price is fixed before development starts.
- Week 101
Discovery and system audit
We map your current tech stack, integration points, and guest journey. You leave week 1 with a written scope document, a data-flow diagram, and a fixed-price quote. No development starts without your sign-off.
- Weeks 2-302
Design and architecture
Wireframes and API architecture before a single line of production code. We test against the RMS Cloud sandbox environment before moving to build. Design decisions made here cost ten times less than the same decisions made in week 8.
- Weeks 4-1203
Build, integrate, and QA
Working software at a staging URL by the end of sprint one. Bi-weekly demos. QA runs in parallel with every sprint, not as a phase at the end. Integration is tested against live RMS Cloud data before go-live.
- Weeks 12+04
Launch and post-launch support
Production deployment with monitoring activated on launch day. 8 weeks of post-launch support included in every project. Ongoing retainer options available for feature roadmap and maintenance.

Why us
Why teams choose RaftLabs for RMS Cloud development
- 01
The engineers who scope your integration build it
The engineers who assess your integration also build it. No bait-and-switch, no offshore handoff after the contract is signed. We shipped a live RMS Cloud booking platform and keyless access for City Break Apartments in Dublin, and we build PMS-integrated hospitality software for operators across the US, UK, and Ireland.
- 02
Fixed price before development starts
We scope the work, calculate the cost, and lock it in writing before any development starts. A scope change is a change request: priced, agreed, or dropped. It never absorbs into the project and appears on the final invoice.
- 03
Shipping production software since 2015
Real engagements across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and logistics, not every one published as a named case study. Our work spans AI, SaaS, mobile, and enterprise platforms across healthcare, fintech, logistics, and hospitality.
- 04
Compliance built in from the start
GDPR, PCI-DSS: compliance requirements are scoped in week 1, not retrofitted before launch. We have shipped GDPR-compliant products for European markets and PCI-DSS-compliant payment handling for hospitality clients.
- 05
Clear communication throughout
A dedicated project manager, updates on Slack and Asana, and regular sprint meetings. No ghosting, no excuses: you always know where the project stands.
Process
Our RMS Cloud integration & development process
Building a PMS-integrated app is about creating guest experiences that work in real-time, not just connecting APIs. Our RMS Cloud certified development services follow a proven process that combines hospitality expertise, technical integration, and user-centered design to deliver results that support your revenue goals.
- 01
Discovery & System Audit
We map your current technology stack and the complete guest journey before any coding starts: existing systems, critical integration points, and your target guest experience goals and business KPIs.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud
- 02
Design & Develop
We design and develop your guest-facing application: intuitive mobile and web interfaces, secure real-time API connections to RMS Cloud, and custom features like mobile check-in, all tested in the RMS Cloud sandbox environment.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud API · RMS Cloud sandbox
- 03
Deploy & Integrate
We deploy the application, connect to the live RMS Cloud environment, and integrate your existing tools like CRM and payment processors. We train your team, confirm data-security compliance, and establish continuous performance monitoring.
- Built with
- RMS Cloud · CRM · Payment processors
- 04
Optimize & Scale
The final phase applies real guest data to continuously improve engagement and drive incremental revenue. We track adoption and booking behavior to inform A/B testing and feature additions, and scale infrastructure as booking volume grows.
What actually connects across the RMS Cloud API
RMS Cloud exposes a token-authenticated REST API. Your app authenticates, receives an access token that expires, and refreshes it on a schedule (SSO tenants use API keys instead of tokens). From there, four data surfaces do most of the work.
- Reservations
- List and read reservations and stays across properties, filtered by status, arrival and departure dates, channel, and guest. This is what powers real-time booking sync, mobile check-in, and a guest app that never says we do not see your booking.
- Rates and availability
- Read live rates, restrictions, and room inventory so your booking engine, upsell offers, and channel sync all price off the same source. Rate changes are also where the rate_status_changed webhook lets you react without re-reading the whole calendar.
- Housekeeping and tasks
- Push guest service requests (housekeeping, maintenance, late checkout) into RMS Cloud task management and read status back, so front-desk and app stay on one queue instead of a paper slip.
- Guest data
- Read and update guest profiles: contact details, language, nationality, and stay history. This feeds CRM segmentation, loyalty tiers, and the multilingual and multi-currency logic in the guest app.
Webhook vs polling: how we keep your app in sync
| Approach | How it works | When we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Webhooks (event-driven) | RMS Cloud pushes a trigger (for example rate_status_changed or a task queue update) the moment something changes. You subscribe once through the self-service webhook setup. | Anything that must feel live: a rate change hitting the booking engine, a new reservation appearing in the app, a service request reaching staff. |
| Polling (scheduled reads) | Your app asks the API for changes on a fixed interval. RMS returns rate-limit headers (including X-RateLimit-Reset); tight loops get throttled, so the interval has to be deliberate. | Reconciliation sweeps and data that has no webhook, batched at a sane interval to stay inside the rate limit rather than hammering the API. |
| Reconciliation job | A periodic full read that compares RMS Cloud state against your app's copy and repairs any drift a missed or out-of-order event left behind. | Every integration, as a safety net. Webhooks can be missed or arrive out of order; the reconciliation job is what keeps a 30-minute-stale screen from ever happening. |
Pitfalls we plan around
An RMS Cloud integration is not hard because the API is exotic. It is hard because a live property runs 24/7 and the failure modes are quiet. These are the ones we design for from week 1.
- Sync drift
- A missed webhook or an out-of-order event leaves your app showing a room as available that RMS Cloud already sold. We treat webhooks as best-effort, not gospel, and back every integration with a reconciliation job so drift self-heals instead of surfacing at the front desk.
- Rate limits
- Polling in a tight loop gets throttled, and a throttled integration looks like a stale app. We read the rate-limit headers, back off on X-RateLimit-Reset, and move anything time-sensitive onto webhooks so we are not fighting the limit.
- Mapping mismatches
- Room types, rate plans, and property codes rarely line up one-to-one between RMS Cloud and a channel manager or booking engine. We lock the mapping in the week-1 data-flow diagram and validate it against the RMS Cloud sandbox before go-live, because a wrong mapping is an overbooking waiting to happen.
- Token and SSO handling
- Access tokens expire, and SSO tenants cannot use token auth at all. We handle refresh cleanly and detect the SSO case up front, so the integration does not silently stop syncing the day a token lapses.
