Proof from real property-management products.

We've used the same sprint approach to ship production systems for vacation rentals, housekeeping, and event management — not just demos.

Owner Money, Right to the Cent

Vacation Rental Connect

Project

The owner-accounting and reporting core of a vacation-rental platform, in production for 14+ years and live today.

Problem

Every booking split into the right shares and the owner's portion tracked apart from the platform's — the least forgiving work in the domain, which generic developers stay away from.

What we built

The owner-money layer, from the booking that brings money in to the statement the owner opens.

  • Per-property ledgers fed from the booking flow, a live Guesty integration, and Airbnb channel sync
  • Owner, management and realtor share splits applied by the percentage in force on each transaction’s date
  • Itemized recurring and one-off expenses, kept on the correct side of the split
  • Owner statements, plus a paid-with-receipt payment trail against each item
  • Booking-level payout reconciliation: each booking recomputed against what the channel paid, mismatches surfaced and repaired, Airbnb Resolution Payments kept out of the owner split
  • A forward section showing upcoming bookings with the split already applied
  • A tokenized read-only owner view, scoped so each owner sees only their own properties

Why it matters

This is the hardest owner-money code in the domain, and it is the proof behind everything else we build. Financial code that has been correct for over a decade is a different kind of proof than a demo.

From WhatsApp chaos to Superhost

Airteam

Client

Vacation rental operator in Las Vegas with ~10 short‑term rental houses.

Problem

Maintenance and housekeeping ran on a spreadsheet plus a WhatsApp group. Easy jobs got done; annoying ones disappeared in chat and came back as stained carpets, food in the fridge, and guest complaints.

What we built

Airteam, a maintenance and housekeeping platform where every issue becomes a job with an owner, a status, and a next step — not just a message in a thread.

  • Roles and permissions for admins, managers, and technicians
  • Job lifecycle (accept → start → finish) with overdue and urgent logic
  • Scheduling tuned for STR reality (urgent vs. checkout‑day vs. anytime)
  • In‑app job completion with labor time, costs, receipts, and comments
  • Invoicing, payment tracking, and calendar sync with Airbnb‑style calendars

Results

  • Tasks stopped vanishing in chat — work became trackable and accountable
  • Saved roughly the cost of a coordinator by reducing manual follow‑up
  • Fewer maintenance and housekeeping issues and fewer guest complaints
  • Cleaner houses, better reviews, and Airbnb Superhost status for the client

How this maps to our sprints

Airteam is a full product build, but we used the same method we use today: ship sprint‑sized, production‑ready chunks that remove one operational failure point at a time. If you already have a product, you don't need a rewrite — you can start with one painful workflow and ship it in a 2–6 week sprint.

Housekeeping checklist that actually gets used

Client

Housekeeping and operations team managing 10 vacation rental properties with ~100 turnovers per month.

Problem

Printed checklists looked reliable on paper but failed in real life. Housekeepers could tick them after the fact, so missed items showed up as repeated cleanliness issues and review problems. Paper created paperwork, not outcomes.

What we built

A mobile‑first housekeeping checklist app that opens from the main system and actually gets used during the turnover.

  • Mobile‑first web app that runs on any phone — no “I'll do it later on a laptop” escape hatch
  • GPS‑derived address and timestamps captured as sections are completed
  • Solo or pair cleaning flows with a simple link/token for the second person
  • Ahead‑of‑time AI translation of interface and checklist items for multilingual teams

Results

  • 10 properties and 10 housekeepers using the app in daily operations
  • ~100 monthly turnovers going through a consistent, mobile‑first process
  • Fewer missed items and fewer cleanliness‑related complaints
  • A clear lift in cleanliness reviews and meaningful contribution to Superhost status
  • Saved labor for managers (less chasing and verification) and housekeepers (less rework)

How this maps to our sprints

We started as a standalone feature that proved itself in real ops, then integrated it deeply into Airteam once it earned its place. That's the same standalone-then-integrate pattern behind every build we do: start standalone, prove value, then integrate.

From paper manuals to AI-powered guides

QR Guide

Project

Our own product built to solve a common pain point for Airbnb hosts and vacation rental managers.

Problem

Hosts were cobbling together PDFs, paper booklets, and long messages to answer the same guest questions repeatedly. Guests couldn't find arrival instructions when they needed them, and great local knowledge stayed scattered across WhatsApp, Google Maps lists, and memory.

What we built

A PIN-protected, AI-assisted guide that works as a link before arrival and a QR code in the property, with step-by-step arrival/check-in flows and curated local recommendations.

  • Property home screen with clear entry points for arrival, check-in, house info, and checkout flows
  • Step-by-step guidance with text, photos, video, and maps, plus a 'step mode' for easy navigation
  • AI-generated recommendations enriched from real Mapbox places, combined with host's own taste
  • PIN or tokenized link protection for sensitive details like door codes and lockbox instructions
  • Production-ready backend (Node/TypeScript/Prisma/Postgres) with caching and automated tests

Impact

  • Hosts can set up a branded, AI-assisted guide in minutes
  • Guests get answers at the right moment—before arrival and during their stay
  • Fewer "how do I get in?" messages at 11pm
  • Run as our own product in production, which is how we know what shipping actually takes

How this maps to our sprints

QR Guide shows our approach in action: start with a fuzzy idea ("better guest experience"), narrow it to one complete journey (pre-arrival link to in-house QR), and ship something hosts can actually use. We build for ourselves first to understand the real constraints before we recommend anything to a client.

Other long-running platforms

Beyond these two stories, we've built and maintained travel and SaaS platforms that run for years in production.

Vacation Rental Connect – Vacation rental software platform in business for 14+ years, handling thousands of bookings with Airbnb/Vrbo integrations, payments, and multi‑tenant, multilingual operations.
Diobox – Event management platform with analytics used in partnership with Netflix over a 5‑year relationship, running complex event workflows and real‑time updates worldwide.
QR Guide (our own product) – AI‑powered mobile‑first web app for Airbnb hosts, with smart recommendations, automated check‑in, and device explanations, run as our own product in production, which is how we know what shipping takes before we recommend anything to a client.

Questions operators ask about our work

A vacation-rental platform that has run in production for fourteen years and is live today. We built its owner-accounting core: the per-property ledgers, the owner, management, and realtor share splits applied by the percentage in force on each transaction's date, the owner statements, and the booking-level payout reconciliation that checks what the channel actually paid against what the ledger says it should have. The full case study is on this page.

Owner Money, Right to the Cent

What this means for your sprint

If your property-management software gets the money almost right — owner statements, reporting across systems, the joins between your tools — we can usually turn one piece of it into a build you own, shipped in a sprint.
