per property lost from missed upsells and operational inefficiencies

Why Serviced Apartment Businesses Need Custom Software?

Serviced apartments uniquely blend hotel hospitality with rental housing, creating a hybrid business model that traditional property management systems struggle to support. Generic PMS tools can't handle the complexity of multi-property management, flexible stay durations ranging from one night to twelve months, and the billing variations that come with corporate contracts versus transient guests.

Teams end up wasting hours every day on manual workarounds. Billing errors frustrate corporate clients. Double bookings damage your reputation. Guest communication falls through the cracks. And you’re still paying monthly fees for software that creates more problems than it solves.

Custom software development changes everything. Your platform works exactly how your business operates, not the other way around. Automated billing handles nightly, weekly, and monthly stays without manual intervention. Seamless integrations connect your OTAs, payment gateways, and access control systems into one unified system. Your staff focuses on delivering exceptional guest experiences instead of fighting with software limitations.

Most importantly, you own your technology. No vendor lock-in. No surprise fee increases. No feature requests that never get built. You will have a platform that grows with your business and gives you the competitive edge you need to scale.

Our Custom Serviced Apartment Software
Development Services

As a hospitality software development company, we develop end-to-end software tailored to the operational complexity of serviced apartments, where long-term stays, corporate bookings, and transient guests coexist across multiple properties.

Property & Unit Management Software Development

Manage your entire portfolio from a single platform. We build centralized systems that handle multiple properties, diverse unit types, real-time availability tracking, and property-specific booking rules.

Track assets, schedule maintenance, and configure pricing strategies across locations. Whether you manage 10 units or 1,000, the system scales with your growth.

Booking & Reservation Software Development

Handle the complexity of extended stays, corporate accounts, and flexible check-ins. Our custom booking engines support direct website reservations, OTA channel integration, corporate portals, and duration-based pricing.

Intelligent availability logic accounts for gap nights and turnaround time while prioritizing longer stays. Real-time calendar synchronization eliminates double bookings across all channels.

Guest Experience & Communication Software Development

Automate guest communication throughout the entire journey, from pre-arrival instructions to post-stay feedback. We build guest experience applications and multi-channel platforms (email, SMS, WhatsApp, in-app) that deliver personalized messages based on stay length and guest type.

Extended-stay residents get dedicated portals to manage bookings, request services, and access payment history, reducing operational overhead while improving satisfaction.

Housekeeping & Operations Automation Development

Optimize staff efficiency with automated task management. Our systems create dynamic cleaning schedules, assign work with mobile notifications, and track completion with photo verification. Handle different service levels, daily housekeeping for short stays, weekly for extended guests.

Built-in maintenance management includes preventive scheduling, work orders, vendor coordination, and asset tracking with automated alerts.

Reporting, Analytics & Revenue Intelligence Dashboards

Transform operational data into actionable intelligence. Our dashboards deliver occupancy forecasting, revenue analysis by unit type and channel, length of stay patterns, and operational efficiency metrics.

Get dynamic pricing recommendations based on market demand, booking patterns, and competitor analysis. Role-based access ensures each team sees relevant insights, with drill-down capabilities from portfolio to unit-level performance.

Billing, Payments & Invoicing Systems

Handle complex billing scenarios with ease, split payments, recurring invoicing for long stays, security deposits, and multi-currency transactions. Our systems support automated billing for extended stays, corporate invoice generation with PO tracking, and consolidated billing across properties.

Integrate with leading payment gateways while maintaining PCI compliance. Automated payment reminders reduce manual follow-up.

Ready to build your next-generation serviced apartment software?

Let’s create something that delights your guests and grows your business.

Features We Build for Serviced Apartment Software

Direct Reservations

Capture more bookings and eliminate commission fees with a custom booking engine integrated directly into your website.

We build conversion-optimized reservation systems that handle flexible stay durations from nightly to monthly rentals, display real-time availability across your portfolio, and calculate dynamic pricing based on length of stay.

Guests can browse units, compare amenities, apply promo codes, and complete bookings instantly with automated confirmation and payment processing built in.


Revenue Management

Maximize income with intelligent pricing tools designed for serviced apartments.

Revenue management features we develop include dynamic pricing algorithms that adjust rates based on demand, occupancy forecasts, and seasonal patterns.

Track competitor pricing, analyze booking windows, and identify optimal rate strategies for different unit types. The system monitors performance by channel, property, and guest segment, helping you understand which sources drive the most profitable bookings and where to focus distribution efforts.

Automation Tools

Reduce manual work and eliminate repetitive tasks with workflow automation throughout your operations.

Automate guest communications from pre-arrival instructions to post-stay reviews, trigger housekeeping assignments based on check-ins and checkouts, schedule recurring billing for extended-stay guests, and send maintenance alerts when tasks are due.

Set up rule-based triggers for virtually any operational workflow, ensuring consistency across properties while freeing your team to focus on guest experience rather than administrative tasks.


Multi-Unit Management

Manage your entire serviced apartment portfolio from one centralized platform.

Whether you operate 20 units in one building or 500 across multiple cities, the multi-property systems we develop provide unified control with property-specific customization.

View real-time occupancy across locations, configure different pricing and policies per property, manage staff access and permissions by location, and track inventory and assets at both portfolio and property levels. Switch between properties instantly or monitor everything from a consolidated dashboard.

Channel Manager Integration

Distribute your inventory across major OTAs while maintaining rate parity and avoiding double bookings.

We build integrations with platforms like Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, and VRBO, syncing availability, rates, and reservations in real time. Update pricing once and push changes across all channels simultaneously.

All bookings flow into your central system regardless of source, with automatic calendar updates and unified guest data. Track channel performance to optimize commission costs and adjust distribution strategy based on what drives the best returns.

Access & Identity Verification

Enable contactless guest experiences with automated self check-in and smart access control.

We integrate with leading smart lock systems (Salto, Assa Abloy, dormakaba, Omnitec) to generate and deliver unique access codes automatically upon booking confirmation. Guests complete identity verification through your mobile app or web portal, receive check-in instructions via their preferred channel, and access their unit using digital keys or Bluetooth-enabled credentials.

The system logs all entry activity for security while eliminating key handover logistics, perfect for late arrivals, extended stays, and unstaffed properties.
