HUSWELL
With HUSWELL we support owners of a vacation rental, second home, or hotel with their property's daily management and optimization. We innovatively do this with mainly data-driven decisions within a sector that COVID heavily impacted. Fortunately, this has also given travellers a different way of travelling. Instead of a hotel, people now increasingly prefer a holiday home or apart-hotel. We provide this “hospitality support” 24/7, whereby we optimally advertise and offer the properties to tourists in the short-term rental market via platforms such as Airbnb & Booking.com. Google comparison / Marketing Thanks to dynamic pricing and self-developed strategies, we try to optimize the return for the owner. We also do this with results because we performed on average 40% better than the market last year. We also take care of the check-in & out of guests; we assist them 24/7 in communication, do the cleaning after departure, and carry out maintenance and repairs if necessary. On the other hand, we foresee extensive digitization to take the service to a higher level. We have developed an online guest portal with all information about the reservation and the property. The mail or book with all the information is a thing of the past. This allows the guest to travel & enjoy carefreely. We also digitize every home to prevent nuisance, keep energy bills as low as possible, and guarantee security through electronic locks. An owner can also track all this in his owner portal. From revenue to reviews, transparency is one of our values so that, again, I repeat, this owner can enjoy his returns worry-free. We deliver an optimal service every day through our digital, transparent and professional approach.
