Thank you Eamonn, it's a pleasure working with you and the team and very gratifying to hear your positive feedback.
No more double-bookings. easy to manage 23 properties. would not like to miss it!
Pros
Also the offers for booking portal partners for the CM (Channel Management) are definitely better than the most other CM Systems on the market.
Cons
Sometimes languages are mixed and you may find English-Spanish or German-Spanish in one sentence. Some booking portals have problems with connecting the right features, but this is rather a individual problem of the portals themselves.

With this program is very easy to management of tourist rental. Easy to use and very well coordinated.
In the area of tourist rentals everything has changed, especially with the introduction in the market of small businesses like ours.
Pros
It is very easy to configure templates that automate processes with reservations. The interaction of the web with the reservation system is exceptionally good.
Cons
The price is the biggest obstacle. But not only Avantio, we made several comparisons with different companies and all have similar prices. I understand that this type of software requires a great team behind and that costs money.

Avantio is probably one of the best property management software products on the market, we have trialed a few other softwares and wasted a lot of money along the way with many promising you everything but actual deliver nothing.
Pros
The product is also good value for money with no commission on bookings.
Cons
Avantio does lack some features I would like but I know they are working on them and I am confident that within the next year I will have all the features I need.

Nous allons aussi dorénavant travailler avec de nouveaux portails comme Booking ou intégrer la passerelle directe avec Airbnb que nous avions l'habitude de gérer séparément.
Pros
De nombreuses passerelles vers tous les plus grands portails: Booking, Homeaway, Airbnb, Holidu et pleins d'autres en fonction des profils recherchés.
Cons
Beaucoup de projets en cours de développement, du coup, il peut y avoir du retard pour certains d'entre eux notamment si les évolutions de la législation obligent à revoir les priorités. Il est vrai que développer un outil à visée mondiale ce n'est pas facile. Nous avions par exemple espéré l'intégration de la signature électronique, qui commence à peine. La comptabilité a pris pas mal de retard aussi mais cela arrive maintenant et nous soulagera par rapport à nos obligations légales.

Hi Massimo! Thanks for leaving a review on your experience with Avantio.
We're really pleased to hear that you're happy with the products that we offer and that they're flexible for your agency.
Our Channel Manager is certainly an aspect that we have focused on, in order to provide high quality API connections to the best global and local channels available right now. We'll be adding more channels to our Preferred Partnership programme in the coming months, which will also provide some great options for attracting new visitors. Just keep an eye on our blog or newsletters for news!
Thanks again for your words,

Pros
We save so much time and many mistakes, with the synchronisation of the information of our properties to the most important portals. The management with the owner of the properties we represent is complete and efective, saving us time and mistakes.
Cons
The technical support is sometimes not as fast as needed. It is getting slow to move from one separator to the other.

I used my previous booking platform for almost 10 years and encountered numerous issues as the system was constantly revised and the results were very much hit and miss.
Pros
Very efficient and easy channel connection which pleasantly surprised me as our previous platform wasn't too good at this.
Cons
Currently no mobile app and this should be rectified asap.

Therefore, even though there are some small limitations (especially on the Booking Engine side), having such an efficient Customer Support makes Avantio a perfect partner!
Pros
Among the various features present in Avantio, certainly the ease of connection with almost all the online booking portals is the most appreciable.
Cons
There are a few small aspects that are improvable on the user side, including having the VRMS responsive so that it can be used with mobile devices.

Thank you for your review Alessandro. Your feedback is very valuable to us to continue improving the user experience.
We manage over 200 touristic apartments, Avantio is the brain, the main system we rely on to booking, clean them, manage them, and have our own database wherever we go and whatever we want.
Pros
Pretty easy software to use and manage all the bookings received from different websites.
Cons
But there is some items/features that they aren't available for iPhones making the software a little useless in those devices.
