"It was also vital for us to have a simple, easy to navigate, easy to manage system for new staff coming on board. I’ve been amazed at how fast I can access the reporting I need as Preno integrates with our payment gateway, Stripe, and MYOB our accounting software."

"We have been using Preno for just over a month and we love it! It suits our small accommodation business perfectly. The team are always on hand to reply whenever you send a message. They are happy to take on any suggestions and any little glitches have been solved straight away."

"We looked around at a range of options and settled with Preno because of its integration with Xero, cloud based and ease in the entire reservation process. We have got that and a whole lot more. It is incredibly user friendly, especially for us with a touch screen system. The team at Preno are constantly reviewing the software and listening to users feedback to improve the software. I can only see Preno becoming a better and better product with time.""
Nick Fitzgerald
Owner @
Aura Accommodation
"I bought Waiheke Island motel three years ago, and more recently Onetangi Beach Apartments which was both using antique booking systems. I switched to Preno mainly because of its integration with Xero, and it’s user-friendly interface. In particular, the motel has many contractor guests, many of whom require invoicing, and the Preno/Xero integration makes this easy to manage."

Onetangi Beach Apartments
""We recently switched from Seekom to Preno to handle our luxury lodge’s rooms, and we could not be happier. Not only was the transition extremely smooth, but the level of support we have received from Preno has been examplary!""

We started using Preno for our first accommodation business that we acquired. As newer members of the industry, we didn't have the most experience with booking systems. The previous owners were still running manually, the Preno staff were more than accommodating with getting us setup but were also more than happy to provide their assistance...

Having worked in Hotels myself. Preno is very user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it accessible for hoteliers who may not be tech-savvy. Which is great to simplify the day-to-day management tasks.
Preno has exceptional and friendly customer service. The product is modern and fresh with all the features an emerging business needs to succeed in the competitive industry, simplifying what can often be a complex set up;
Question:
What differentiates this product or service from the competition?
Answer:
Preno seems to maximise automation, meaning that hoteliers can set up their account and their preferences and then trust that it's going to do its thing. By using the email automation / dynamic pricing etc it means less manual hours spent, reducing labour hours and driving revenue

Preno seems to maximise automation, meaning that hoteliers can set up their account and their preferences and then trust that it's going to do its thing. By using the email automation / dynamic pricing etc it means less manual hours spent, reducing labour hours and driving revenue
Preno stands out by focusing on the needs of small and boutique properties, unlike larger PMS providers, which can often be overly complex and less personalised. Preno being guest focus on their journey can be a competitive advantage for boutique properties that rely on repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals
Their dynamic pricing module is really effective and I also really like their pricing and packaging as it provides less of a barrier to entry than some competitors. For a boutique hotel who doesn't think they need a PMS, this can be transformational to see how much more revenue they can drive and how much smoother their ops can be with some help from Preno
Question:
Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?
Answer:
The team at Preno are knowledgable, friendly and efficient. The set-up appears to be quick and straightforward and focusing on driving revenue and increasing profitability. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out for a conversation with them.

If you're considering Preno, my advice would be: take full advantage of the free trial and customer support during onboarding. The software is incredibly intuitive, but every property has unique needs, so use this time to ensure it aligns perfectly with your operations and integrates smoothly with the tools you need. Plus, the support team is great at helping you get the most out of the system!
Meet them team, see the features, they will help you implement this extremely quickly and provide exceptional ongoing support.
They integrate with the best POS software to make your experience seamless and enhance your guest stay with charge to room.
