GuestReady is a property management company and online travel agency headquartered in Trogen, Switzerland.[1] Founded in 2016, it is active in Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It helps hosts manage their properties on online rental marketplaces such as Airbnb.[4][5][6]
The GuestReady Group offers short-term rental management via the brands GuestReady, Oporto City Flats, and We Stay In Paris. GuestReady focuses on Airbnb management, which includes services such as customer relationship management (CRM), revenue management, marketing channel management,[4] guest check-in, facility and laundry services. The group also offers Business-to-business services and distributes the information technology system as RentalReady to other property managers that intend to offer short-term rental management to their clients.[7][8]
The group is active in Europe, Middle East and Asia. It offers property management as GuestReady in the United Kingdom (London, Manchester, Edinburgh), France (Paris, Cannes, Lyon, Bordeaux), Portugal (Lisbon, Porto), United Arab Emirates (Dubai), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) and Hong Kong.[8][9] GuestReady offered Airbnb-management in Singapore between 2016 and 2018 but decided to pull out of the market due to changes in regulation of short-lets in Singapore.

Por exemplo, empresas como a Hostmaker, a Sweet Inn e a Guest Ready contam com portfólios de milhares de apartamentos em toda a europa. O ponto importante em relação à situação atual é como a estrutura de gestão dessas agências permite anunciar os apartamentos em diferentes plataformas digitais simultaneamente. Para fazer isso, elas usam programas informáticos de gestão de propriedades, que são conhecidos em inglês como channel manager, e que é uma tecnologia usada há anos pela indústria hoteleira para poder comercializar o mesmo produto on-line (neste caso apartamentos) em diferentes canais como a Airbnb, a Homeaway e a Booking.com.
