Challenges
Managing an extensive real estate portfolio with multiple buildings across the world posed a formidable challenge for Greystar. Their commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences and streamline operations required them to address several critical challenges.
- Legal Compliance: Meeting the diverse local legal mandates across Europe, particularly concerning legal guest registration and police reporting, is a significant challenge. This complexity is amplified when managing multiple properties in various regions and locations manually.
- Efficiency in Guest Registration: Managing a vast portfolio of properties and capturing guest data manually made check-ins practically unmanageable, necessitating a more streamlined solution.
- Data Synchronization with their PMS Lavanda: Real-time data accuracy was critical, and a generic solution to streamline operations wouldn’t suffice. Integration with our PMS, Lavanda, was indispensable for seamless data synchronization.
