Project Overview
Our client wanted to build a platform that would allow residents to rent their properties through Airbnb. As part of the project, a Syndication module will be developed to track Conversations, Communities, and Calendar information through the Airbnb API. This system will essentially be a custom Airbnb CMS portal, which will consolidate all unit information and communication.
It is intended that the platform will be tightly integrated with Airbnb and should allow residents to list their properties on Airbnb directly through the platform. Customers can also search for interesting listings through the platform, where hosts can manage the details of their property. A key objective of the platform is to provide hosts with detailed insight into the revenue generated by their properties.
Business Requirements:
- A property management system where property owner and property MasterHosts list their property on Airbnb and a guest can book a unit over Airbnb.
- A platform where MasterHosts can chat with a host, check monthly, weekly and yearly revenue reports, post guest reviews, manage events and much more using system.
- Customers can search for interesting listings through the platform, where hosts can manage the details of their property.
- A platform that aims to provide hosts with detailed insights into the revenue generated by their properties.
- A platform offering a host of add-on features like home cleaning, key-less entry, events management, and the ability to post other curated content.
