About the project
Afton Family Partners manages a portfolio of luxury rental properties across the United States, from Virginia and Colorado to Utah and Texas. To remain competitive in a crowded market, they needed a true-to-life online presence and systems that ensured guest satisfaction and operational excellence.
The Challenge
Initially, Afton Family Partners relied on major travel websites such as Expedia, Airbnb, and Booking.com for property listings and reservations. This created several challenges:
- High administrative overhead due to manual cross-platform updates
- Difficulty coordinating calendars, leading to risk of double bookings or missed opportunities
- Delays in guest communication and higher risk of miscommunication
- Heavy dependence on third-party platforms and their commission fees
- Limited control over property presentation and customer experience
Afton Family Partners sought greater independence from commercial platforms, higher margins, and standout online representation—objectives that required a bespoke technological solution.
