Avantio Reviews

An honest assessment by an apartment company with 200 holiday and business apartments

Comments: About a year ago we looked around for a new VRMS/Chanel Manager all in one system. Avantio was shortlisted because, compared to its American competitors, it did not charge for every extra service - at least that was what was promised.
We then held several Skype conferences with our former supplier, the competition and also avantio.
Since we know after 10 years of experience in the industry how important it is that a chanel manager keeps his promises and doesn't take time out, we flew to valencia to avantio. The first impression was very impressive for my operational manager as well as for me as a young company boss. A young team led by an older fox and supervised by a family that owns avantio. We knew immediately that this could become our partner. Especially the fact that there are no hungry investors behind the company made us confident. We had already had the experience with the hungry investors with the former provider, the new version only became available to us if we had quintupled the commission payment, and even then we would not have received all the features. back to avantio - after our visit to valencia, we stayed cautious and first of all we connected four test apartments to the new system and stayed with our provider with the remaining 180 apartments. We let the testapartments run via the avantio chanel manager on some platforms like booking.com, airbnb etc. No we have been live for 6 months. We are really happy with the product!

Pros:

- Great API connection to all bigger portals with no downtime - Much better homepage design than our former provider - family owned company - provides all we need to have our apartments on an attractive homepage, on various plattforms, manage cleanings - Syspay as an integrated payment provider makes it very easy to charge your clients creit card with one click - harmony for automated email communication is great and reduces your workload - great support (always, Alexia is the best) - the guest area is a new development that will decrease our workload again, when the guests from around the world start to accept it as the main communication tool.

Cons:

- The loading speed of our homepage is partly not sufficient. avantio should make suggestions to the customer about image reduction and the like. - Statistics which are important for me as a manager could be improved. - the cooperation with pricelabs (pricing tool)and syspay(payment provider) is very good. but these two are the only ones that allow full functionality in cooperation with avantio. this dependency should be broken. Because in the end we chose avantio and not pricelabs. (Syspay was only listed as an example, the cooperation with them is really great. probably the best payment provider for hospitality operations on the market) - the pricing tool is not as good as it could be better

We are finally be cared for by competent professionals who are available when we need them.

Comments: Avantio is very professional as a team, walking with us from start-up to day-to-day business needs.

Pros:

We have previously worked with other Integration Companies with our Short Term Rental Business and Avantio far exceeds those companies with their set-up program, customer service, and availability! And, we are paying less than the other companies which left us frustrated and looking unprofessional. When we have any questions, they are quick to respond and are available via Zoom when needed. We are in the best of hands which allows us to run our business and focus on our job while they do theirs.

Cons:

The accounting end could use some improvements and they are working with us to make those happen as quickly as possible.

Avantio Event

Comments: The event was a success. Presentations were clear and concise, and networking with other companies felt effortless. Everyone was comfortable sharing expertise, which I really appreciated. A special shoutout to the Avantio team for their amazing support. Thanks again!

Pros:

Smooth and efficient organization Clear presentations

Cons:

The event duration felt a bit short; more time would have allowed for deeper discussions.

Fantastic Platform for Business Growth

Comments: Excellent platform for business growth.

Pros:

The platform is incredibly user-friendly, and I picked up how to navigate it in no time. The onboarding team was outstanding, and I genuinely believe that their continuous support was key to our swift adaptation. Their guidance made all the difference in getting us up to speed quickly.

Cons:

One minor aspect of the onboarding that I found a bit tedious was the recorded AI segment, which felt slightly boring. However, aside from that, the process was thorough and well-executed.

Property Management Platform Avantio

Comments: My overall experience with Avantio has been positive. It’s a powerful tool for property management that offers a wide range of features to streamline operations. Despite a few drawbacks, such as occasional performance issues and the learning curve, it remains a reliable and effective solution for managing properties at scale. The support team is responsive and helpful, which is a significant plus when dealing with any technical issues or setup questions.

Pros:

What I liked most about Avantio is its robust set of features designed specifically for property management. The platform is highly customizable, allowing you to tailor it to your specific needs. The user interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate and manage multiple properties efficiently.

Cons:

While the platform is generally user-friendly, the initial setup can be time-consuming and requires a bit of a learning curve.

The best

Pros:

Great product for the money

Comments: 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 easy to use and has most things you need to make your day to day running of your business easier. I like that I can reach out to my account manager and have one to one conversations. 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.

Best option for short rental management

Comments: Game changer, motivation for the whole team and focus on the business

Pros:

Comprehensiveness, reliability and excellent customer support. Ease of synchronization with revenue management tools

Cons:

Weak responsiveness for mobile, technology still in the process of updating

Excellent

Comments: We are really exited about the seriousness Avantio puts in their products and how they constantly develops new features. They are very aware of the legal challenges that the rental industry is passed on these days, but Avantio adapts this regionally, which we highly appreciate. Their team and customer service are great and we are really grateful of how time saving the system is.

Pros:

It's a complex tool that covers several daily tasks. The company adds new features as our industry evolves. Couldn't live without it today.

Cons:

As it is a complex software it takes some time to get an overview and to know all of its functions. But that's really not a "cons" and should be something you should expect.

Great tool

Pros:

The product is easy to use and it’s a great tool for property managers

Cons:

There should me more video tutorials available

PMS, Channel Manager and Website, 3 in 1.

Pros:

It is very easy to use. Customer Support Outstanding. It is very helpful, with just 1 software you can manage bookings, payments, cleaners, owners, accommodations, very easy Channel Manager you can connect with any portal (Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, HomeAway, Holidu....) and the website. They do not charge any commission per booking.

Cons:

No app available. It takes too long if you want to change some content on your website because you cannot manage it directly.

Love avantio product and services!

Pros:

It makes all days at vacation Rentals easier and better!

Cons:

Everything I saw I liked! I definitely recommend it!

Wonderful collaboration from the first day

Pros:

It's been almost a year since we've started our collaboration with Avantio and it didn't disappoint us any minute! While our company was growing we were continuously looking for scalable and optimal solutions and Avantio was a great choice of a software that combined channel manager, pms, booking engine and web page. What we like the most is their flexibility for changes. With the unlimited patience of their support team we were able to implement all our ideas and find the best solutions for our company through our personal experience. We discovered unlimited possibilities to work on our visibility, accupancy, rates, loyalty programs, special offers and much more.

Cons:

Though we believe it will appear in the future, still worth mentioning - automatic clients recognition system would be a great advantage to the program.

Very happy to have such a time saving and easy to use software that helps with product distribution.

Pros:

The software allows you to manage and distribute your product with more efficiency. It's very time saving because you control all your properties through the software which syncs with your distribution channels. Don't bother to upload your properties one by one to the portals. Also any change made to the properties will be synchronised automatically with all portals.

Cons:

A few features and functionalities could be adjusted to vacation rental needs. A more developed CRM would be nice, which allows you to send your offers directly through the CRM system.
