Managing a flat to let in Cambridge doesn’t have to mean endless admin. Whether you're running a single short-let or scaling a portfolio, automation can dramatically improve the experience for both guests and landlords. From check-in to pricing and cleaning, smart tools help reduce manual errors, save time, and maximise revenue.
Automate Guest Communication
Guests expect fast, helpful responses — but you don’t need to be online 24/7 to deliver them. Automation tools let you schedule and personalise:
Check-in and check-out instructions
Welcome messages with WiFi details and local tips
Review requests and reminders post-stay
With automated replies, your guests feel looked after — even when you're off the clock.
Use Dynamic Pricing Tools
Platforms like PriceLabs and Beyond Pricing track local demand, seasonality, and competitor rates to adjust your nightly price automatically. That means:
Higher rates during peak periods
Discounted rates to fill gaps
Less time spent manually tweaking prices
Smart pricing = more bookings and better returns.
Smart Lock & Keyless Entry
Forget lost keys or inconvenient handovers. Installing smart locks allows guests to enter with a code or app, which can be:
Time-limited for added security
Changed remotely between guests
Synced with your PMS for seamless access
It’s safe, contactless, and ideal for business travellers or late arrivals.
Auto-Scheduling for Cleaning & Maintenance
Missed cleans or late turnovers can ruin a guest’s stay. Automation helps you stay ahead by:
Sending real-time cleaning notifications
Syncing calendars with bookings
Coordinating with contractors automatically
For larger properties or multi-unit operations, it’s essential.
