The COVID crisis has caused our industry a lot of troubles and changes but we are happy that this challenging time has also allowed us to be even more connected with our partners!
We have conducted co-organized webinars with some of our partners that you can watch on our Youtube channel.
Some partners have also created amazing resources for Property Managers and all vacation rental industry stakeholders to be up to date with the situation, adapt our strategy and be ready for a new future.
Quite a few partner companies are also running promotions or giving free access to their product or some features to help Property Managers overcome these new challenges.
We wanted to share with you in this article a list of resources and offers per partner.
Please note that you can find out more about each partner on our App Center page.
Our CEO & founder Seb Grosjean and our head of Product Maud Lavolée also took part as speakers in the webinars organized by AJL consulting and BookingPal.
From the BookingSync team we would like to address a huge THANK YOU to our partners for showing solidarity during this hard time. We are proud to be part of this wonderful Vacation Rental community and are looking forward to contributing to a new and better future for our industry!

Wishbox - Guests Management
Dedicated ressource page
The team at Wishbox took time to complete a number of cool new features that provide more revenue opportunities and allow you to manage check-ins and guest communication in the most efficient way.
1) Online check-in including deposits, passport scans, e-signatures, key lock integration...
2) Guest App - Allowing hosts to communicate with their own branding.
3) Scheduled Messages (sent via email, SMS or WhatsApp) to guests, auto-translated and branded, these messages can be pre-scheduled based on smart conditions.
4) Upsells- Since profitability is a concern for property managers, the option to recommend and offer additional services to guests and generate more revenue is also extremely important, (you can also connect 3rd part suppliers to Wishbox to sell in-destination services). Upsells can include trusted transportation, ordering food, activities, room/rental upgrades based on availability, early check-in and late check-out based on availability and more.
Their service is only charged for rentals/rooms with reservations so properties will not be paying until they have bookings and are open again (they also have the free trial).
