Technology is revolutionising the way we manage accommodations, but with so many property management systems available, how do you choose the one that’s right for you? This week, I’m diving into the highlights from VRMA’s Property Management Software Showdown, where we explored what’s shaping the future of property management technology. If you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve and run your business more effectively, you’re in for a treat.
We’re unpacking the story behind one of VRMA’s most talked-about sessions: the Property Management Software Showdown, brought to life by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Alisa Justice, and Linda Sikes. These industry pros didn’t just attend the panel—they built it from the ground up, tackling the daunting task of comparing software for the benefit of property managers everywhere.
