Hello, everyone, and welcome to Lodgify in Minutes. I'm Lucas, and today I'm going to share with you a quick content video that will shine some light into our solution and how can it benefit your business. Just a little introduction about us. Lodgify is a software that helps you manage, automate and grow your short-term rentals. Just before I go into much details about our features, let me tell you more about us. So Lodgify is the number one all-in-one platform for vacation rental owners. Serving over 200,000 users across more than 180 countries, we are verified partners with all the top platforms, winner of numerous awards and great reviews from our users. Of course, this is the most important part, customer perception. And you can see here that they really see value in what we have to offer. Lodgify folks is more than just technology. It's a full solution for your short-term rental business. We are committed to empowering and supporting owners and property managers every day. And how do we do that, you ask? Let me show you right now. So here is our whole ecosystem. And let me explain how this works. So our ecosystem consists of multiple solutions into one. The first solution would be, of course, the channel manager part. To help you managing multiple properties on multiple platforms, the channel manager is the best solution. Lodgify connects via API with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking and Expedia, where we connect and sync calendar rates and reservations in real time. So if you got a reservation on Airbnb, it will automatically update the other channel as well as your website. And let me tell you more about it in a couple of minutes. And you can manage everything through Lodgify and without the whole back and forth. So right now, you're probably going from one platform to the other, and this could lead up to some missed messages or things like that. So with Lodgify, you will have everything in one place with no more back and forth. The second solution would be the website builder. So Lodgify offers a website builder, so you can build your own website from scratch with us, or if you want to use like a Squarespace or Wix website, you can use our own booking engine to help you with that. So we're covering both solutions like external website, and if you want, you can build your own website with us.

With your own website build from Lodgify, you can actually connect that with Google Vacation Rentals, and how that actually works. So Google Vacation Rentals is a new player, and it's not like a platform, but it behaves like one. So the gist of it is, if your guest is looking for a place to stay on Google, he can type like, let's say, Florida on a map, and he can find the properties there, and if your property is located in the neighborhood that they're looking for, they can click on a map and book directly with your own website. That way, you're not only relying on platforms, so you get your own customer base. So here, the first thing you're going to be seeing is Lodgify's Dynamic Pricing Tool. It helps you set the perfect rates without the hassle. It automatically adjusts prices based on demand, seasonality and market trends to boost your revenue. You stay in control by customizing pricing rules to fit your strategy. Just set it up once and let it do the work for you.

Just below the channel manager, you can see the PMS bar. Let me explain a little bit more about that. So first, you got automated plus custom messaging, meaning that whenever you got, let's see, a check-in, a checkout, or any of those triggers like normal triggers that you deal with in your daily basis, you can have a message ready for it. The benefit is that you can create everything on Lodgify and it will be replicated in multiple platforms. So you can manage everything in one place again. Same for the calendar, folks. So we have a unified calendar, meaning that every reservation that you got, independent from which platform is coming from, you would be seeing in your calendar inbox. So with a unified inbox, you can see every message, no more back and forth. And to support you, we got the AI Assistant that helps you generate content, description for your properties, and replying to customers in just a push of a button. Just to share another good update with you folks, we have not only the dynamic pricing tool, but we just released our Smart Lock management system. So folks, if you have Smart Locks and want to manage and update everything in one place, we already got that for you. So that's perfect. Folks, last but not least, we have the Advanced PM. So I like to think of it as the most advanced side of Lodgify. So with it, you got advanced reporting and analytics and a super, super in-depth dashboard. You got task management for your cleaners. So if you're using like a calendar right now, like a Google Calendar to share tasks with your cleaners, you can bring everything to Lodgify. And of course, any updates that you got would be managed within Lodgify right now, instead of you having to go to an outside source. We got the check-in doc, which is like a form where you can share with your customers. That way they share more information about them, like names, phone numbers, IDs, if you want to get an extra layer of security. Not only you can request, but you can share more information through the guest app. So here you can create multiple guidebooks for your properties to share more information about like local restaurants, or how to get to the property, like some good things that will make your guests feel more at home. Another thing we have inside the advanced module is actually the user statements. So with this, you can create statements, check income, expenses, taxes, and channel commissions. It's a simple tool, but great if you're doing your finances by hand, or if you're used to use a spreadsheet. So this will really be a nice improvement for you. So here folks, I've been talking a lot about the platform, but let me demonstrate, let me show you. Let's do a quick demo right now together. So I always like to start in the rental section. Basically, this is the core, heart of Lodgify. Every single one of your info is going to be coming and going through your properties. And another good thing you can do is actually copy the information from Airbnb. If you already have that on Airbnb, copy and paste into Lodgify, that way you're not going to be doing that manually. So once you copy and paste or create from scratch, you can click here.
