PMS + smart devices
With other providers the PMS, smart lock and noise detector are three separate apps. With us the booking itself controls the devices.
From any platform or from our own site: the calendar blocks the dates instantly on every channel.
The guest receives a link or opens the door and the gate in the app, for exactly the duration of the booking, with no code.
An hour before arrival the air conditioning or heating brings the apartment to a comfortable temperature, and after check-out it switches to economy mode.
The sensors adjust the limit to the number of guests booked and the house rules. If it is exceeded, the system signals the guest in the apartment to keep quiet.
At check-out the cleaner receives a task and logged entry permission; they must scan the main items' QR codes.
Guest data reaches the authorities automatically, in encrypted form.
Modules
Our own management team has fine-tuned the system based on the experience of thousands of guest nights.
Direct server connection to the Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Szállás.hu and Expedia systems. Calendars, rates and restrictions sync within seconds, so double bookings are practically impossible.
Sync timewithin seconds
It follows large Budapest events (Formula 1, Sziget, concerts at the Puskás Aréna) and the Balaton weather forecast, and continuously adjusts the price to match. You choose: it suggests the new price for you to approve, or applies it automatically.
Pricingcontinuous, based on demand and supply
Before arrival the guest scans their passport or ID card with their phone, and the system forwards the data encrypted to VIZA and NTAK.
Risk of fines0% (automatic check)
Our cleaners and maintenance staff work in our own app. We identify the main items with QR codes, and the system requires them to be scanned at every cleaning. Linen is tracked with RFID tags.
Typically finishedbefore arrival
No month-end uncertainty or opaque Excel sheets: you can see current and future occupancy at any time, gross and net revenue in forints or euros, and download invoices in one click. The system matches the invoices downloaded from NAV Online Számla with your bookings, and the performance report also shows occupancy and average rate.
Settlementin one click
Airbnb, Booking.com, WhatsApp and guest portal messages arrive in one place. The AI replies in the guest's language, based on the house rules and the guide, and hands the conversation to a colleague when a person is needed. It messages guests automatically before arrival and after departure.
Replyin the guest's language, even at night
The guest opens the door and gate in their phone's browser, finds the property with photo directions, and sees the wifi, the house rules and the chat in one place.
Usagevia a link, no app
The guest, the cleaner or reception reports the fault with a photo, the system opens a work order and keeps an eye on the deadline. For bigger repairs the owner gets the quote via a link and decides there. The cost goes into the monthly statement as an itemised entry.
Owner decisionvia a link, no login
Every to-do in one list, with an owner and a deadline. The system flags on its own when something needs attention: a lock running low on battery, noise, missing guest details or a message waiting for a reply. Whatever has been resolved closes itself.
Shift handoverin one click
The system builds the cleaning day from the bookings and plans the cleaners' routes too, on foot or by public transport. Linen is delivered by courier, and the daily view shows which property is ready.
Daily planfrom bookings, automatically
Cleaner, maintenance, courier, reception and owner: everyone sees and can do only what their job requires. A cleaner, for example, cannot let a guest in. Access can also be limited per property.
Accesscan be limited per property
Guest portal
The guest doesn't need to download an app. After booking they get a link and find everything in their phone's browser, in their own language.
For the length of their booking they open every door from their phone, with no code. If a lock happens to be unavailable, the portal says so and they can send a message with one tap.
Guides them step by step from the street to the apartment door. The open button is right there at the right step.
A searchable guide: the Wi-Fi with a QR code, the house rules and everything important about the property in one place.
The AI answers questions instantly based on the guide, and hands over to a colleague when needed.
If something breaks, they report it with a photo or video and can see how the repair is progressing.
Before arrival they enter how many people are coming and who sleeps where, so the cleaner makes up exactly the right number of beds.

Technical reliability
Your guests' data and your financial data are not on shared storage. The system consists of independent, separated services.
Across several European data centres, with automatic failover. Calendars and locks keep working during a network outage.
Guests' ID document data is deleted immediately and permanently from the cache after being forwarded to the authorities. ID data never appears in the guest interface, and guest conversations are deleted once a set period has passed after departure.
Digital keys are generated at hardware level with unique tokens and are valid only for the paid stay.
Every code change goes through a security review and an automated penetration test.
