Switching Questions
Straight answers. No corporate speak.
Do I lose control of my rates?＋−
No. The engine recommends or adjusts within guardrails you set, and you can override any rate inline on the Multi-Calendar. Every final call is yours.
What does switching from spreadsheets look like?＋−
The six-step Setup Center connects your listing and extranet, builds your comp set, and takes occupancy by upload or paint-by-day. Pricing can go live before every optional step is done.
