The timing of our takeover largely depends on how quickly you’re able to complete the necessary tasks on your end, but rest assured, we’re committed to facilitating a smooth transition. In many cases, we can have everything up and running in as little as 7 days. We understand the urgency of your time constraints and are dedicated to getting you the support you need as efficiently as possible.
An owner who manages two of her own caravans grew increasingly frustrated with having to field calls from guests asking repetitive questions about operations. She found it exasperating that the answers were readily available in an information booklet provided to guests. Adding to her frustration, she runs her own business and often couldn’t answer calls immediately, which occasionally led to frustration from guests.
Our goal is to simplify your life, not add to your workload. We’ll only have access to the specific properties you want us to assist with. If you require us to collaborate closely with your team members who have additional responsibilities within your company, we’ll reach out to them directly to ensure seamless coordination and avoid any duplication of efforts.
The amount of time you save depends on the specific services you choose to subscribe to.
Rather than focusing solely on the number of hours saved each week, our service is designed to deliver value relative to your subscription fee.
Let’s consider an example:
If you have one property and find it challenging to respond to guest queries or phone calls during the working day, the typical solution might involve hiring an administrator to cover those hours of unavailability.
Let’s say this amounts to6 hours per day
Totalling 30 hours per week.
At a rate of $3 per hour
This would equate to $90.00 per week or $360.00 per month.
The frustrating thing with this setup is that you could have an administrator sitting idle, getting paid to do nothing, which is a waste of a valuable resource. We recognize this as a common problem, which is why our service and subscription packages provide you with all-day coverage for a set price per month. This fixed monthly fee is a fraction of what you would pay someone directly on a monthly or weekly basis.
