The Challenge

Managing multiple hostels with over 1,000 beds came with its fair share of challenges. The lack of a centralized system made it difficult to track reservations, monitor occupancy in real time, and handle maintenance requests efficiently. Manual processes led to errors, delays, and an overwhelming administrative workload, ultimately affecting the overall guest experience.
