Welcome to a great episode of The Accommodation Show. We’ve jammed this week’s podcast full of value and actionable knowledge and I can’t wait for you to have a listen! One of the most frequently asked questions is ‘what technology is everyone using’. Today as part of our REVEALED series - we will be revealing the full tech stack of a rapidly growing STR business - The Urban Butler. With most companies putting digital-first strategies into play, the power of technology is hard to ignore. As a business owner or manager, it’s critical to be aware of the digital tools on the market, as well as how each one can transform your operations and results. Your technology stack is the digital structure behind your business. Having a great tech stack can improve your profitability through gaining efficiency, improving guest experience and optimising pricing. Most businesses we talk to will run at least 15-20 different tools. Did you know, most operators we work with do not have a consolidated technology stack. Did you know, that there is a huge amount of technology being used in short-term rentals that would be the envy of the largest hotels? So if you have spreadsheets (I know you do!), paper diaries or if you are just relying on remembering things then this episode it for you.
