Quantified System Results & ROI
The Challenge & Bottlenecks
Heavy reliance on Airbnb and Booking.com eroded net profit margins through 15% platform commissions. Furthermore, calendar double-bookings were a constant risk when trying to take direct telephone reservations.
The Architectural Solution
We crafted a minimalist luxury digital storefront with a custom direct reservation engine, two-way iCal calendar synchronization across all third-party platforms, instant M-Pesa / Credit Card deposit processing, and automated smart-lock access code emails upon guest verification.
