The evolving nature of the hospitality industry will constantly redefine the way you do business. One way to stay profitable is to provide a streamlined guest experience with hospitality property management software (PMS). Given the many options, it is hard to decide which one to choose. Cloudbeds offers a user-friendly, integrated suite of software that is functional, accessible and secure.

Cloudbeds software frees up time by removing the burden of technology from your list of things to do. “We are completely focused on the user experience,” says Cloudbeds co-founder and COO Richard Castle. “Our mission is to reach global travelers through superior customer service, innovation, quality and commitment. Our diverse team of creative thinkers is dedicated to providing a simple solution, consolidated in a simple package,” he says.

Richard, and Adam Harris, Cloudbeds’ co-founder and CEO, experienced first-hand how challenging it can be to book accommodations, while vacationing in Brazil prior to the 2014 World Cup – it was virtually impossible. They finally resorted to phoning hotels directly and made wire transfers to secure reservations.

Already tech specialists, the ambitious duo recognized a problem in streamlined booking processes. “We realized the best way to serve hoteliers was to make one integrated suite of hospitality software that kept up with evolving technology – from this realization, Cloudbeds was born.” Two years later, Cloudbeds has offices in San Diego, Brazil, the Ukraine and Ireland, and is used by more than 7,000 properties worldwide, by customers in 115 countries.

Ideally suited to B&Bs, inns, large and small hotels, and hostels, its industry leading features provide easy to use, customizable and flexible solutions to grow your business and fill your beds. Its accessibility is tailored to your desktop, laptop, iPad and mobile, so you are in control from wherever you are. The all-in-one system is secure and PCI compliant.

You will benefit from access to resources on their blog and Facebook page, created by in-house professionals like Marketing Coordinator Alex Gaggioli. “We take a broad based approach to create relevant content on the latest management tools and marketing resources,” says Alex. Why Cloudbeds? “The differentiator is we are not a hands off company,” says Richard. “We strive to provide the best customer support around the clock in every time zone. We take client satisfaction very seriously.” Contact Cloudbeds to discover how they can deliver a solution that is right for you.
