Property Management Tech Gives Short-Term Rental Owners an Earning Edge

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – EQS Newswire – 29 September 2022 – It has been reported that Dubai is the most profitable city in the world for Airbnb hosts[i], but with this comes a myriad of challenges for property owners such as managing housekeeping, guests’ noise levels, pricing properties correctly and ensuring personalisation. To minimise these challenges and help more people take advantage of this lucrative opportunity, short term rental management company Propr (https://www.Propr.ae), has launched an all-encompassing tech-based solution to streamline operations and give hosts peace of mind.

Levelling up short-term rental management with tech 

With the company’s co-founders, Chregan O’Flynn and Max Urban having backgrounds in tech, they saw that most short-term rental operators utilised off-the-shelf software applications to cobble together a working property management system. The problem with this is that hosts need to find workarounds to stitch these disjointed pieces together which then impacts the guest experience.

It is for this reason that the Propr team developed their own property management system. “The goal,” says O’Flynn, “has always been to automate those elements that can be automated and give our team tools to make them superhumanly more effective, resulting in a better guest experience. This is vital as a happy guest leaves a good review, which leads to more bookings, meaning happier property owners who trust us with their properties.”

Digital solutions transform market challenges

To tackle the issue of housekeeping management, Propr developed an app to remotely monitor and manage cleaning in real time using input and images from the housekeepers to ensure that the standards pre-set for each rental unit are met. “In the past, housekeepers would have to cross off cleaning checklists manually, but now the process has been simplified and made customisable for each property,” shares Urban.

Regarding noise control, he explains that guests are typically on holiday or in town on business and can be loud. “This can cause issues as neighbours sometimes complain. We make use of technology integrated with noise monitoring sensors to send automated and instant notifications to the guests as well as to the owner to alert them to any breaches in noise levels.”

As there are fluctuating variables when it comes to pricing a property, Propr has developed an automated real-time pricing algorithm. Urban points out that this creates a set price point for each property every month that is adjusted daily according to the market.

When it comes to personalisation, one of the ways that Propr has managed to get the balance right is by automating highly structured communication to give their team more opportunity to spend quality time with guests such as when planning a custom itinerary. “We also use tech to flag certain key words like ‘anniversary’ or ‘birthday’ and then notify our guest experience team to do something special for that guest,” notes O’Flynn.

The future of hospitality is tech enabled

Going forward, the entrepreneurs will be developing even more top-line tech tools to meet the needs of tomorrow’s travellers and short-term rental owners. “The key is to use tech in a way that adds to the guests’ experience, rather than making them feel that they are dealing with robots. At every step of the journey, tech can help make the experience better,” concludes Urban.

Eidosmedia s’associe à Sophi.io pour l’automatisation de l’impression basée sur l’IA

Ce partenariat intègre la technologie d’intelligence artificielle (IA) de Sophi.io dans la plateforme éditoriale d’Eidosmedia, apportant une automatisation transparente de la mise en page des impressions basées sur l’apprentissage machine (AM) aux clients d’Eidosmedia

TORONTO, 30 sept. 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eidosmedia, développeur de solutions d’édition numérique pour des groupes de médias d’informations de premier plan dans le monde entier, s’est associé à Sophi.io, une plateforme d’automatisation, d’optimisation et de prévision basée sur l’IA développée par The Globe and Mail, pour apporter une automatisation transparente de la mise en page d’impression aux clients d’Eidosmedia.

La solution réduit l’intégralité du processus de mise en page en vue de l’impression de quelques heures à quelques minutes, sans recourir à des modèles. Les éditeurs peuvent considérablement améliorer la productivité et réduire les coûts, tout cela au sein de la plateforme Méthode qu’ils utilisent actuellement.

« La complexité des mises en page pour l’impression a jusqu’à présent défié la facilité apportée par l’automatisation qui accélère la publication de formats en ligne », a déclaré Marco Cetola, directeur des ventes et des programmes de partenariat d’Eidosmedia. « Pour nos clients, en particulier les grands groupes régionaux et les titres nationaux, les éditions imprimées continuent d’être une source majeure de revenus. Il existe un vif intérêt pour les moyens de réduire les délais et les coûts de production dans cet important canal d’édition. »

« La compatibilité entre nos processus de construction d’éditions imprimées et le moteur d’IA de Sophi s’est avérée très bonne », a ajouté M. Cetola. « Nous avons rapidement pu commencer à former le modèle de pagination à partir des mises en page existantes, et avons obtenu les premiers résultats en seulement quelques jours. »

« La hausse de la productivité enregistrée est exceptionnelle, en particulier pour les publications quotidiennes où l’opération de mise en page se fait généralement dans des délais très serrés », a expliqué M. Cetola. En fait, une édition imprimée typique de 32 pages peut être paginée en quelques minutes par rapport à plusieurs heures pour un fonctionnement manuel.

L’automatisation de l’impression basée sur Sophi est différente des autres solutions de production d’impression parce qu’elle est totalement exempte de modèles. Elle utilise l’intelligence artificielle pour s’assurer que les pages imprimées d’un éditeur aient l’air d’avoir été produites par des rédacteurs et des concepteurs de pages expérimentés. Chaque page est conçue à partir de zéro en suivant les instructions de design de chaque marque. Le résultat final est un fichier PDF ou InDesign destiné à l’impression qui est prêt en quelques minutes.

Parmi ceux qui bénéficieront de la nouvelle technologie figurent les concepteurs de pages eux-mêmes. Les concepteurs de pages sont sous pression depuis un certain temps pour accroître leur productivité alors que les éditeurs essaient de réduire les coûts. Avec moins de main-d’œuvre pour créer un nombre croissant de pages, le travail du concepteur est souvent devenu une course stressante contre la montre. Le moteur d’automatisation les déchargera des tâches de routine afin qu’ils puissent consacrer plus de temps aux premières pages, aux fonctionnalités et aux mises en page spéciales où leur créativité peut réellement ajouter de la valeur.

« L’automatisation de la mise en page est la plus grande innovation dans le secteur de l’édition depuis que l’ordinateur personnel a remplacé les machines à écrire », a conclu M. Cetola.

Gabe Gonda, vice-président de Sophi.io, a déclaré : « Sophi est ravie de conclure un partenariat avec Eidosmedia pour fournir notre technologie d’automatisation de l’impression via la plateforme Méthode. Eidosmedia est un fournisseur de CMS de première classe possédant une connaissance approfondie des besoins en constante évolution de ses clients. Ce partenariat contribue à fournir une solution unique et de grande valeur à certains des plus grands éditeurs de journaux au monde. »

À propos d’Eidosmedia

Eidosmedia (www.eidosmedia.com) est un leader mondial de la gestion de contenu et de l’édition numérique. Les solutions d’Eidosmedia sont utilisées par des organisations médiatiques du monde entier pour créer et fournir des portefeuilles de produits d’actualité allant des formats numériques avancés aux journaux et magazines traditionnels.

À propos de Sophi Inc.

Sophi.io (https://www.sophi.io) a été développée par The Globe et Mail pour aider les éditeurs de contenu à prendre des décisions stratégiques et tactiques importantes. Il s’agit d’une suite de solutions d’automatisation, d’optimisation et de prévision basées sur l’IA et l’AM qui comprend Sophi Site Automation, Sophi for Paywall et Sophi for First Party Data. Sophi permet également la mise en page automatisée en un clic de l’édition imprimée sans modèle. Sophi se consacre à améliorer les mesures qui comptent le plus pour votre entreprise.
