1. Hello Audrey, and thank you for agreeing to answer our questions, can you introduce BookingSync to us?
And what is your role at BookingSync?
Hello Julie! I have been a Partnerships Manager at BookingSync for 3 years. I am fortunate to collaborate with various partners with whom we think about possible synergies to satisfy our common customers, the Property Managers.
It is a pleasure to work on strategies to make our business grow while offering additional features or services to customers. I find it very interesting and relevant to create partnerships between vacation rental players and to grow our industry.
2. What is the use of a PMS for our less informed readers?
While there are an infinity of different reservation channels on the internet, organizing calendars and online payments can become a real headache for owners and managers of short-term rentals. In this respect, vacation rental software such as BookingSync and Smily is an ideal solution for centralizing everything in one place and automating all reservation management processes.
A true “channel manager” allowing Property Managers to easily connect and coordinate their calendar to the various advertising sites, BookingSync is positioned among international OTAs as the best global technical partner in terms of accommodation. Designed to make life easier for vacation rental owners, managers and agencies, our PMS empowers them to save valuable time and rent more through:
- A unique distribution channel for more than 1000 portals all over the world,
- A real-time update of the reservation schedule to eliminate the risk of duplication,
- The possibility of integrating your payment gateway to take payments directly
- The generation of a website
- connectivity to numerous partner services, to simplify your life, as with Yaago! 🙂
- and much more!
3. Can you give us some key BookingSync figures?
About BookingSync
Designed in 2009 and officially established in 2014, BookingSync is a vacation rental management software for professionals designed by Sébastien Grosjean, who has been working in the field since childhood. At its creation, the start-up raised just under 1 million euros in just 15 days from 160 investors. Since then, BookingSync has raised four other funds and in 2020 developed a new vacation rental management service for individuals: Smily. The company now has active employees in 17 countries and is a global reference in the sector. To date, BookingSync has achieved a sales volume of over 1 billion euros and is active in 76 countries.
About Smily
Since 2020, BookingSync has also offered the Smily service, a platform for individuals who want to focus on the travel experience. The software simplifies the management of their rentals by connecting each property to more than 1,000 websites. More than a platform, Smily is the partner of an easy, safe and profitable vacation rental business for the owners of the 630,000 vacation rentals in France, out of the 3.6 million second homes.
Olivier Le Floch was appointed CEO of Smily in May 2021 in order to ensure the development of the company. Its ambition is to increase the reputation of Smily among the general public by recruiting more than 10,000 new owners in the next twelve months, and thus to make it a reference in France. smily.com
4. What are the reasons why you decided to work with Yaago? And what do you think of this partnership?
We had the pleasure of meeting the Yaago team on the VRWS in Annecy in September 2021. With our desire to strengthen our position in France and to support our French customers as much as possible in this post-covid crisis recovery, Yaago appeared to be an obvious ally!
Our 2 French-speaking companies share the same values and have the same ambition to support our industry.
Yaago appeared to be an obvious ally!
5. BookingSync has many advantages for short-term renters, what are the upcoming news that you can tell us about?
We are continuing our efforts to create partnerships that are relevant to our customers. At the beginning of the year, we have implemented a lot of collaborations that started in 2021, in particular with new major booking platforms (leboncoin, locasun, Holidu, Myhomein...) that bring visibility to our customers' properties.
But also with you Yaago, who has greatly improved the travel experience!
6. Based on your expertise, what do you think of the Yaago digital welcome booklet?
The Yaago booklet is a booklet that all travelers would like to receive to organize their stay 🙂
Thanks to the synchronization between Yaago and BookingSync, I think that customizing the passbook makes all the difference. It is clear, beautiful and rich in information for the traveller!
7. How does integration work?
The direct integration of Yaago on the BookingSync API allows us to offer our customers a clearly integrated and automated solution to improve the traveller experience.
