Matt,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with Steve, our Director of Customer Success, directly today and for sharing your experience on the phone.
Unfortunately, OwnerRez did not end up being the right fit for the workflows and operational model you were trying to build, particularly around co-hosting/direct remittance style operations across multiple channels.
That said, we do want to acknowledge that we have heard the pain points you mentioned, especially around workflow complexity and recurring messaging setup. In fact, one of the specific examples you mentioned, recurring triggers/trash-day messaging, was recently redesigned because we recognized the setup process needed improvement. (And it is already out live as I write this)
For other people reading this - I want you to know that our team spent a significant amount of time working through onboarding, API connectivity, reporting discussions, and operational workflows with Matt directly during implementation. So while we recognize this may not have been a 5-star experience for him, a 1-star review suggests we provided little to no support or value during the process, and that simply was not the case.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to vacation rental software. Different platforms approach workflows, automation, accounting, channel management, and co-hosting differently, which is exactly why we provide a free trial period so customers can test workflows and determine whether the platform is the right fit for their operational model before fully committing. In reviewing Matt's account history, many of the workflows that ultimately became the biggest pain points were complex co-hosting/remittance scenarios that evolved over time during implementation.
We genuinely appreciate the candid feedback because conversations like this help us continue improving both the platform and onboarding experience for future customers.
Matt, we wish you the best moving forward with your business!
