Birdy Vacation Rentals is a property management company based in San Antonio, Texas, with a portfolio of 50 short-term rental properties, primarily located in the city and surrounding areas.
With a large portfolio of properties and growing complexity in the market, the property management business needed a scalable, data-driven pricing solution that could improve revenue and reduce time spent on manual tasks.
The Challenge
Prior to using Beyond, Birdy Vacation Rentals relied on manual pricing processes that were neither time-efficient nor market-aligned.
- Time-Consuming Workflows: With so many responsibilities and a small team, keeping up with pricing across dozens of properties just wasn’t realistic. Manually adjusting rates took too much time—time that was needed for everything else involved in running day-to-day operations.
- Limited Market Responsiveness: Without dynamic tools, the company couldn’t adjust for trends, events, or seasonal demand.
- Inconsistent Performance Visibility: Tracking property performance across a large portfolio was cumbersome and reactive.
“At the end of the day, Beyond helps us get more bookings and get more revenue.”
The Solution
Birdy Vacation Rentals turned to Beyond, a complete revenue management system designed to optimize vacation rental revenue. Beyond offers an integrated suite of solutions that work together to improve portfolio performance from top to bottom. Beyond’s advanced solutions build on dynamic pricing to create predictive revenue streams via insights into market and consumer search trends, real-time demand data, high-converting booking engines, as well as cost-efficient and mobile-friendly payment processing.
Beyond provided Birdy Vacation Rentals with a powerful and user-friendly revenue management solution, simplifying several key functions:
- Automated Pricing Insights: “It’s our tool to track the market,” said Martha Lopez, Accounting Manager at Birdy Vacation Rentals. “It increases prices automatically for weekends, holidays, or if something’s going on in the city.”
- Monthly and Weekly Performance Reviews: Martha can easily track how properties are booking up with Beyond’s Health Score.
- Real-Time Market Data: Using Beyond’s Insights tool, Martha benchmarks performance against the local market: “If I see the neighbors are performing well and my property isn’t, I know I need to adjust the price.”
Seasonal Pricing Strategy: “Since February, I set seasonal minimum prices for the summer. Even if we’re in a slower period now, I know higher prices are already in place—and I’m going to get more revenue,” said Martha.
