The challenges before eviivo
As part of its flex-living strategy, Nido needed a robust, centralized technology solution to manage hotel-style operations alongside its core student housing platform. The company sought a system that could:
- Support efficient management across different property use cases
- Spare teams from juggling multiple systems and unnecessary complexity
- Consolidate all aspects of operations, from OTA distribution to guest communication
The solutions implemented with eviivo
Nido partnered with eviivo Suite™ for its intuitive, all-in-one functionality and proven ability to support hybrid accommodation models. With eviivo, Nido has been able to:
- Manage short-stay bookings, operations and payments from one user-friendly platform
- Automatically synchronize listings across leading OTAs through deep integrations
- Use automated guest messaging to enhance communication and service consistency
- Give the short-stay side of the business a distinct identity through custom short-stay websites, powered by eviivo
- Onboard both properties quickly and efficiently from one adaptable platform, despite their differing operational models
