What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, onboarding a single guest batch for our 15 coastal vacation homes took our team two full days during July peaks—chasing emails for lease signatures and ID verifications. Now, it's automated end-to-end with integrated keyless entry setup, saving us about 18 hours a week. We've bumped our repeat booking rate from 35% to 52% without adding staff, plus upsold boat rentals to 20% more guests."
Sarah Mitchell
Operations Director, Coastal Breeze Vacation Rentals
"I was skeptical about custom AI for our 12 mountain cabin rentals, but after implementation, the system auto-verified IDs against state rental permits and sent customized guides for hot tub rules overnight. It caught a compliance issue with local noise ordinances that would've cost us $5K in fines. Time saved: 12 hours weekly, and our guest feedback improved dramatically—no more confused arrivals at remote properties."
Tom Rivera
Property Owner, Summit Ridge Cabin Retreats
"Handling 40 lakefront vacation rentals meant constant back-and-forth on security deposits and damage waivers via fragmented apps. AIQ's automation integrated with our QuickBooks and property management software, cutting errors by 90%. In the first quarter, we processed 200 onboardings flawlessly, adding $15K to our bottom line from quicker fills and automated refund processing for deposits."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with my existing property management system?
We start by mapping your PMS, whether it's Guesty, Hostaway, or Airbnb's backend, using secure two-way API connections. Our custom AI pulls booking data automatically, triggers onboarding steps like verifications, and pushes completed profiles back into your system. This eliminates manual exports—think of it as a direct pipeline from reservation to ready guest. For a typical 20-property portfolio, setup takes 2-4 weeks, with zero downtime. We've done this for dozens of managers, ensuring compatibility without disrupting live bookings. Post-launch, we provide integration health checks to maintain 99.9% reliability.
What kind of time savings can I expect for my vacation rental business?
Most clients see 15-25 hours saved weekly, depending on volume. For example, verifying 50 guests manually might take 10 hours; our AI handles it in minutes via automated checks. This compounds during peaks—imagine summer rushes without overtime. Industry data from STR analytics shows such efficiencies boost net yields by 8-12%. We quantify this upfront with a workflow audit, projecting your exact ROI, often 3-5x within the first year through faster turnarounds and fewer errors. It's not just time; it's reclaiming bandwidth for marketing your properties effectively.
Is the system secure for handling guest personal data?
Absolutely—security is non-negotiable in rentals. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and STR-specific regs like those from the American Hotel & Lodging Association. Guest data like IDs and payments stay in isolated, audited modules, with AI anonymizing sensitive info for analytics. Role-based access ensures only authorized staff see details. In our deployments, we've maintained zero breaches across 200K+ onboardings. We also include audit logs for compliance reporting, giving you confidence when dealing with international guests or local inspectors.
Can this be customized for multiple properties with different rules?
Yes, customization is our core strength. The AI adapts to each property's quirks—beach house parking rules vs. mountain cabin fire safety, for instance. We tag bookings by location and auto-generate tailored packets. For a manager with 10 diverse units, this means one system, not per-property silos. Setup involves your input on variations, and AI learns from patterns to refine over time. Clients report 40% less confusion in guest prep, leading to smoother stays. Unlike generic tools, ours scales without rework, handling expansions seamlessly.
What if I already use tools like Airbnb or Vrbo for bookings?
Perfect integration is standard. We connect via their APIs to pull reservations instantly, then layer on our AI for the full onboarding—beyond what platforms offer. No more switching tabs for signatures or verifications. For Airbnb hosts, we automate Superhost compliance steps too. Implementation mirrors your workflow: bookings trigger AI flows, completing before check-in. We've boosted completion rates from 60% to 95% for platform-dependent managers, reducing cancellations. If you're multi-listing, it unifies everything into your custom dashboard for oversight.
How much does custom onboarding automation cost, and what's the ROI timeline?
Pricing starts at $8K for a base setup, scaling with property count and complexity—fully custom, no subscriptions. ROI hits break-even in 3-6 months for most, with 15+ hours weekly savings at $50/hour staff cost equaling $40K+ yearly value. Add revenue from 10% higher occupancy, and it's 4x returns. We provide a free audit to model your specifics, like for a 15-unit operation saving $25K in admin alone. Unlike ongoing fees elsewhere, you own it outright, with maintenance at 10% annually—pure asset building for your business.
