Reviewing the Award Winning Hostfully PMS

So in this little mini series of podcast episodes that I am putting together to showcase some of the best property management platforms out there, we have now got an award winner, which is nice. Today I'm going to be talking about hostfully, so hostfully. Maybe rightly or wrongly people assume that they are just a digital guidebook, but they are so much more. I know I made that impression wrongly when I first got to know the team. I always just assumed of them from the first fantastic digital guidebook. But did you know that the property management platform side of what they do is actually award winning And I can totally see why. So over the sort of the past year I've got to know the team really, really well. They are sponsors of the podcast from time to time, which is, which is fantastic and I thank them so much for that and they have definitely helped spread the word of Boost Lee to large American audience and I thank them for that. And there's a lot of people that use it, use it well. But I do know that they haven't got a massive presence sort of say in UK and Europe, especially with, with Team Boostly. So I wanted to just showcase them today. To be perfectly honest, if somebody like Matt Landau from VR&B and Terry White, the vacation rental software geek, as he likes to describe himself, if they award it something, then it's definitely one to take notice of. Pricing wise they are on the more expensive side. But as everything in life and business you get what you pay for customer service second to none. Fantastic people. The tools that they have in their disposal, the tools that they are bringing, they are looking, I believe this is a rumor that they are looking to bring in a CRM so customer relationship management email marketing tools section into their platform, if not directly in, and they're looking to connect it via API or connections, et cetera, which is very exciting. And the tools again and the automations and the power is, is very powerful now from the way I look at it. I always look at a guest facing view when it comes to picking a PMP property management platform because at the end of the day a good pmp, a good property management platform should be giving you an online booking process in some way shape or. And they do that. Let me just share the screen very quickly. So this is, this is hostfully and we very recently again through working with one of our hosts, they said listen, we are with hostfully would love to connect up and what we're able to do is we were able to create an experience again where the guest can stay on site so let me just go to a date here. So this is the fantastic Alpine lodging. It looks stunning. One day I would love to go and visit. Both me and my wife love to go snowboard and see the snow and the boys will love it as well. So one day hopefully Tony will come and see you. But again the booking process is so smooth and it stays on site which is really key part in this. And again it looks good, the website feels good, the search is great and again it just means that guest doesn't have to leave. So for us that's what we look for in a real good pmp. And again, in my research for doing this, I went to ask people that use the platform and I wanted to see if hosts just like you have got the same glowing words that Terry and Matt do and, and that they rave about it. Pricing wise, like I say. So it starts off at $79 a month and that's from one property to four. When you start to jump up, it doubles in price. So five plus you're sort of looking at $189. Where we had uplifting yesterday, that was a hundred dollars for same amount of prices, same amount of listings. So again, a little bit more on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. And again it's an award winning company. So when you become an award winning you can, you can put the prices up which is absolutely what they've done and they deserve to 100 of the way they link into all the major platforms. Again, really good team, really good people, connections everywhere that you need to go, does payment, does bookings and all that lovely jazz. And again the onboarding team are superb. One of the big pain points I would say one of the reasons why people don't swap out their pmp, their current platform is that they think I have to start all over again. It is a lot easier than you think. So again, if you're struggling with your current one, if you're looking to switch or you're looking to get started and you know, if you've got the budget to drop about nearly 200amonth on your, on your, you know, PMP, then I would definitely recommend going for them. If you've got any questions then please let me know. I would also love to know if you currently use hostfully as well.
