Vezpa is the complete PMS with built-in Channel Manager for hotels, B&Bs and vacation rentals. Manage bookings, rates, OTA channels and extra sales from a single app. BOOKING MANAGEMENT Smart calendar with real-time availability. Automatic handling of bookings, changes and cancellations from every channel. Send booking proposals with online deposit payment. The dashboard puts today on top (arrivals, departures, in-house guests) with occupancy for the next 7 days. INTEGRATED CHANNEL MANAGER Automatic sync with Booking.com, Airbnb, VRBO, Expedia, Agoda and 60+ OTA channels. Rates and availability always up to date everywhere. INTEGRATED OTA MESSAGING Chat with Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and VRBO guests right from the app: incoming messages and replies in one inbox, without opening the extranets. REVENUE MANAGEMENT Dynamic pricing based on demand and seasonality. Automatic rules to maximize revenue. Create and push real promotions on Booking.com with one tap: the system suggests discounts (e.g. last-minute) and turns them into native channel promos. See the reason behind every suggested price: day by day, from the base rate through each rule that moved it, always within the limits you set. Arrival and departure days per season (e.g. Saturday to Saturday), respected by the booking engine and the channels. WELLNESS & EXTRA SALES Turn services and products into new revenue with an online storefront for your spa. Guests book treatments choosing therapist, date and time with real-time availability, and buy your products with home shipping or on-site pickup. The storefront is reachable from the booking link and as a public page for external clients. Built-in online payments, photos of services and staff, stock and appointment management. Optional till shifts module: open with a cash float, record withdrawals and deposits, close against expected cash, print the closing report and review past shifts.
