The story

Andra is a property manager but started out as a guesthouse. With the 7rooms project - an accommodation business consisting of seven rooms in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland - she became familiar with the art of hotel management. A modest start, however, was matched by a lot of commitment. In fact, Andra, who is a factotum, managed all the necessary tasks completely on her own, in a practical and modern way, and with excellent results. The profession of Property Manager was a natural consequence of her management skills. Some local owners, spectators of her success, suggested that she also manage other flats on Lake Lugano, and so from occasional guesthouses Andra became a professional Property Manager. Now Andra manages more than 20 flats between Bissone and Lake Lugano.

The challenge

The work of property management requires constant attention and care. There are many contingencies in this job because it involves managing several properties under one manager. The guests do not know how much work is behind it so they demand precision and timely responses. That's when Andra realized that in addition to the help of technology, she needed a partner who could advise her on how to simplify and automate management as much as possible. тАиInitially Andra chose a management software but, without being clear about what to expect, she chose the wrong software. She struggled to get to grips with the logic of the software and even found herself managing overbooking!тАи Initial discouragement was followed by a desire to try again and, by a casual coincidence, WuBook arrived at the right time!

"When I decided to use a management system, I chose another software that made me quite confused, even overbooking!"
