Reflecting on 2024 and Looking Ahead to 2025

As we close the chapter on 2024, let’s take a moment to reflect on the strides made within Beds24. This past year was not without its challenges, but it was also a year rich with growth, innovation, and significant partnerships that will shape the future. Let’s delve into an overview of our achievements while also peering into what 2025 holds in store.

Looking Back at 2024: Product Innovations and Enhancements

At Beds24, our focus is on adapting to an ever-evolving industry. In 2024, we made notable progress, reinforcing our position as a trusted provider of property management solutions for the hospitality and vacation rental sectors.

Strategic Partnerships

We are proud to have been recognized as an Airbnb Preferred+ Partner, alongside achieving Booking.com Premier, Expedia Elite, and Vrbo Preferred status. Maintaining these partnerships requires meeting rigorous quality standards annually, showcasing our technical and commercial strength with all leading OTAs.

Improved Usability

We prioritized user feedback to deliver meaningful platform updates. The new Booking Overview feature enhances the user interface, simplifying property management workflows. Additionally, our  Slide-out helpstreamlines the support process, enabling users to find assistance quickly and efficiently.

Onboarding Innovations

To simplify the integration process, we introduced a revised onboarding flow for Booking.com, making it easier for users to get started in an increasingly competitive hospitality and vacation rental market.

Quality Control for Airbnb

Our Airbnb Hosting Quality Dashboard provides hosts with valuable performance insights. The introduction of automated reviews helps maintain high standards for properties, benefiting both hosts and guests by improving their overall experience.

Policy Override

Understanding the need for flexibility, we introduced Policy Overrides for Booking.com. This feature allows for tailored policies to adapt to various circumstances, further enhancing our channel management capabilities. Notably, this functionality is available in Beds24 but not directly in Booking.com.

What is ahead for 2025?

E-Invoices

Invoices can now be generated automatically as e-invoices, complete with all mandatory information. Beds24 inserts invoice data into the ZUGFeRD XML structure, adhering to EU standards, and outputs the invoice in ZUGFeRD format—a PDF file with an integrated XML component.

Marketplace

We are developing a Marketplace to centralize third-party apps and integrations. This will make it easier for you to connect the tools you already use while discovering new ones.

Usability and workflows

With a system offering an abundance of features and functions, we recognize the need to balance power with simplicity. In 2025, we will continue optimizing workflows and enhancing usability to ensure an intuitive experience.

Preferred Partnerships

Being a preferred partner with all leading OTAs grants us early access to new features and beta-testing opportunities. Stay tuned for exciting new capabilities that will enhance your property management experience.
