Key Benefits of Flex Mode

• Simultaneous Booking and Marketing: With Flex Mode, you can list your units by both unit type and distinctive amenities on multiple booking platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com. This dual approach enhances your property’s visibility and increases your chances of securing more reservations. For example fungible units can be marketed collectively, making it easy to manage identical rooms or apartments.

• Single Image Inventory: Flex Mode incorporates a single image inventory system, ensuring that all bookings are synchronized across platforms. This protects providers from overbooking by managing disparate inventory models under a unified system. It allows hotel managers and other sophisticated users to maintain full control and visibility over their entire inventory, regardless of how it is marketed. Fungible units and non-fungible units are managed efficiently, allowing for accurate availability and preventing conflicts.

• Enhanced Channel Management: On platforms that support both unit types and unit listings, such as Booking.com, Flex Mode enables you to market your inventory in multiple ways. While traditional hotel unit types often lack detail, Airbnb provides a rich content experience. Flex Mode allows you to leverage this by showcasing detailed, attractive listings. Meanwhile, your unit types remain visible, making it easier for guests to find the perfect fit for their needs. Guests can “grab and go” with quick access to unit types or search for distinctive amenities that meet their needs.

• Flexible Pricing and Restrictions: Manage pricing and restrictions for each unit or unit type separately. This flexibility allows you to tailor your rates and rules based on demand, seasonality, or specific marketing strategies. For example, you can set different rates for a unit with a view versus one without, ensuring you capture the full value of each unit.
