How Lahinch Property Management Grew Profits by 50% & Streamlined Operations
Lahinch Property Management is a holiday rental management firm that oversees a diverse portfolio of over 50 rentals in Lahinch in Ireland. With more than 20 years of experience in property management, they have always strived to provide exceptional service to both property owners and their guests.
However, maintaining an optimal pricing strategy and streamlined operations across numerous properties was an ongoing challenge. The team especially struggled to keep track of varying events, holidays, and market trends. So, they sought out a better solution to automate their revenue management, including pricing.
“I was finding it really hard to price our 50+ houses—not only individually, but also keeping track of events, holidays, etc. We knew we needed a better way.”
The Problem
Pricing properties individually while considering seasonal fluctuations and special events was consuming a considerable amount of time and resources. Lahinch Property Management struggled to keep up with the dynamic pricing needs, often resorting to overly generous discount policies that undermined their revenue. With no prior experience using revenue management solutions, they were in dire need of a more efficient and accurate pricing strategy.
The team also wanted to ensure that their chosen revenue management system would integrate with their property management system, Lodgify.
“I was finding it really hard to price our 50+ houses—not only individually, but also keeping track of events, holidays, etc. We knew we needed a better way,” said Julia Middleton, Operations Manager at Lahinch Property Management. “I have been using Lodgify for more than five years, and I love how easy it is to use, so I sought a revenue management solution that integrates easily.”
