How IsRentals Remotely Manages 120 Vacation Rentals with Duve

GUEST EXPERIENCE

With 120 apartments spread throughout Jerusalem, IsRentals uses Duve daily in order to help them manage online check-ins, communicate digitally with guests, and offer early check-in upsells to guests arriving earlier to the apartments.

Why it matters: IsRentals originally implemented Duve in an effort to test out new innovative solutions in hospitality-tech. When first implemented, IsRentals was managing only a small portion of the apartments that they are managing today, and using Duve was a nice-to-have tool. After expanding to manage 120 apartments, Duve became a must-have for IsRentals and even allowed them to reach 665% ROI through Duve's upselling tools.

IsRentals can comfortably manage all rentals from one office by allowing guests to easily check-in online before their arrival. They are comforted with the fact that Duve allows them to collect contract signatures, identification documents, security deposits, and payment for stay, all before guests arrive to the apartment. With Duve's tools, IsRentals can also easily share information the guests need in order to locate and access the apartments, and automatically offer early check-in to guests that are arriving earlier than the regular check-in times.

Top 3 Core Objectives: IsRentals wanted to explore new innovative solutions in hospitality-tech and wanted to be able to easily manage many rentals remotely as the business expanded to manage more and more apartments.

Collect documents and signatures: It was crucial for IsRentals to collect copies of IDs and signatures on their contracts before guests would arrive so that guests understood that their reservation is binding. This wasn't always possible when they had reservations coming in from OTAs without Duve's guest experience solution.
Easily allow apartment access: IsRentals wanted to create an easy way for their guests to receive all the information they need in order to locate and access the apartments.
Generate additional income: IsRentals wanted to be able to charge for early check-in for guests that were arriving before the regular check-in time.
