Hoteliers like Preno for its clean, intuitive interface and robust integrations with key software like Xero and Siteminder. Users appreciate its efficient automation features, such as dynamic pricing, which have increased average daily rates and reduced manual workload.

Hoteliers often highlight Preno's customer support as a key strength. The support team is described as knowledgeable and effective, providing responsive and helpful assistance via multiple channels, including chat and phone. They excel in onboarding and guide new users through setup, making transitions from other systems smooth and minimizing disruptions.

... Preno has several strong points, such as its good value for money and an intuitive, user-friendly interface that makes managing our B&B operations relatively straightforward. Tasks like bookings, invoicing, dynamic pricing, and reporting are easy to navigate, even for those with limited technical skills. It’s a reliable platform for day-to-day management, offering the essential tools needed to keep things running smoothly. Having dynamic pricing built-in is an added bonus as it saves us paying for a subscription as we did previously. The customer service team is friendly and generally helpful when they’re available, which is reassuring during troubleshooting. We've been especially grateful for the assistance we've received from Keegan, who has gone out of his way to do his best to implement our visions along the way. However, one of the key selling points during the sales pitch was the promise of 24/7 support, thanks to their teams based in New Zealand and the UK. Unfortunately, this hasn’t materialised due to apparent staffing ...

Automation

Streamlined

Hoteliers often highlight Preno's automation features as a significant advantage, noting its capability to streamline operations efficiently. Key automations include dynamic pricing, automated billing, confirmation and pre-arrival emails, and housekeeping management. These features help reduce manual tasks, enhance workflow efficiency, and save time. Hoteliers appreciate the system's intuitive setup of automated processes that contribute to smooth daily operations and have proven beneficial in increasing bookings and revenue.

... As a new entrant into the accommodation sector, finding the right property management system was crucial for us at Willinga Park. We needed a solution that was not only powerful and efficient but also user friendly enough to be adopted quickly by our team. Preno has exceeded our expectations in every aspect. From the moment we integrated Preno into our operations, the transition was seamless. The system's intuitive interface made it easy for our team to navigate and manage bookings, guest communications, and payments without the typical teething issues you might expect with new software. The onboarding process was smooth, and the support team at Preno has been incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring that any questions or concerns were promptly addressed. One of the standout features of Preno is its comprehensive set of tools that cater to our specific needs. Managing multiple properties and ensuring each booking is handled with care can be challenging, but Preno's centralised dashboard has made this process remarkably straightforward. The real-time updates and seamless integration with our booking channels have significantly reduced the risk of double bookings and other common errors, which has been a huge relief.Overall, our experience with Preno has been overwhelmingly positive. It has not only simplified our property management but also enhanced our operational efficiency. As a new player in the accommodation industry, Preno has been an invaluable partner in our journey, and we highly recommend it to other businesses looking for a reliable and user-friendly property management system. What we like most about Preno is the user-friendly grid layout, which makes it incredibly easy to move bookings around and manage our desks efficiently. The ability to quickly check payment statuses has streamlined our financial processes, giving us peace of mind. Additionally, the automated ...

... Preno has been a game-changer for managing our small boutique teahouse and rooms. The system is intuitive, dependable, and well-supported, with thoughtful features that streamline our daily operations. Setting it up was incredibly straightforward, even though we were transitioning from a tricky inherited system. Their onboarding process ensured we were up and running with minimal disruption, and their team made the entire experience seamless. One standout feature is the simplicity of their interface, which makes training staff incredibly easy (and the online training provided was equally great). Even those with limited technical experience can quickly grasp how to use Preno, which has saved us countless hours in staff training and troubleshooting. The integration with other platforms, such as our channel manager, is seamless and has helped us avoid overbookings while increasing efficiency. The ability to easily manage rates, availability, and bookings in one place is invaluable. To manage OTA's with such ease is a definitive bonus, considering we're such a small team that all have to multitask. Their dedication to ongoing improvement and customer feedback is another highlight. Preno regularly updates its features and functionality based on user suggestions, which shows they truly listen to their customers. We most ...

... We were looking for an easy, more effective way than our previous supplier, to ensure connectivity between all booking websites and our own website in other words, a channel manager as well as a "guest management system". Preno is intuitive, configurable and very easy to use with professional streamlining everything from front desk management to bookings. It is also proving very effective at assisting us gain additional bookings and boosting income for our lodge which is an unexpected benefit. It has the ability to streamline guest billing, along with efficient housekeeping management, which will reduce manual tasks and enhance operational efficiency. Basically it feels modern, innovative and accessible. The communication is clear and the team extremely helpful. The move from one system to another was really seamless. The ability to speak with a person in New Zealand who understand us and our business is so extremely valuable. We have found other channel managers do not provide the same real time support and do not integrate such an efficient PMS with the channel management side - we have flexibility to manage our guests with full details which are easy to access (and which link to return bookings) as well as the effective booking system and a marketing system. From a technology perspective is easy to use and clear as are the manuals provided which are kept up to date. As well Preno listens to feedback and develops additional abilities based on feedback - eg setting up different packages. The strong focus is on not just customer service but working with their partner network. From a guest perspective the new direct booking system enables additional packages to be clearly outlined and is much more attractive to use for customers. We have, after just a couple of weeks, received very positive feedback from our guests. We also love the ability to operate from anywhere due to its cloud ...

Functionality

Reliable

Hoteliers often highlight Preno’s functionality as a comprehensive and effective suite of tools tailored for property management. Core features such as booking management and reporting are well-received, with users noting that the system effectively handles essential tasks. Preno's automation capabilities, including billing and reporting, are appreciated for reducing manual workload and enhancing operational efficiency. However, there are occasional mentions of feature completeness, with some users expressing a desire for more in-depth reporting and real-time room management features. Overall, Preno is considered a reliable choice for both small boutique operations and larger establishments, although users have requested further enhancements to its features to fully align with their unique operational needs.

... Preno has several strong points, such as its good value for money and an intuitive, user-friendly interface that makes managing our B&B operations relatively straightforward. Tasks like bookings, invoicing, dynamic pricing, and reporting are easy to navigate, even for those with limited technical skills. It’s a reliable platform for day-to-day management, offering the essential tools needed to keep things running smoothly. Having dynamic pricing built-in is an added bonus as it saves us paying for a subscription as we did previously. The customer service team is friendly and generally helpful when they’re available, which is reassuring during troubleshooting. We've been especially grateful for the assistance we've received from Keegan, who has gone out of his way to do his best to implement our visions along the way. However, one of the key selling points during the sales pitch was the promise of 24/7 support, thanks to their teams based in New Zealand and the UK. Unfortunately, this hasn’t materialised due to apparent staffing issues, leaving us without the round-the-clock support we were led to expect—a significant letdown. Additionally, while Preno does make periodic improvements to its software, the pace of these updates is slow ...
