At Wheelhouse, we believe you should run your rental your way — which is why we love technology that helps hosts and owners manage their businesses more intelligently and effectively.

It’s also why we’re thrilled to announce our integration with Orbirental — a vacation rental booking engine that helps streamline operations, increase distribution, and drive more revenue and bookings.

Getting exposure across the major booking platforms and channels really helps drive more eyes to your rental. But you also need a centralized calendar experience to help you manage inquiries coming in from all those different sources — which is exactly what Orbirental delivers.

Orbirental: From Initial Inquiry to Successful Stay

Orbirental’s platform is designed to help you manage your workflow — from time of booking to time of check out — for all your listings across platforms like Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO, and FlipKey.

That means you can manage all of your listings and inquiries on one unified calendar from any of the 50-plus channels they integrate with.

As requests come in from across the channels, you can place holds on your calendar before deciding which inquiry makes the most sense for you and your business.

Once you decide which reservation is best, you can handle all of the booking and check-in details all from the same unified calendar.

They also offer a powerful analytics tool that gives you actionable insights into the health and performance of your properties. For example, learn which channel drives the most bookings and dollars for your rental.

Because of Orbirental’s direct integrations with the top 50 booking channels, you can now leverage our-strategic, demand-driven pricing across all of them — from Airbnb to HomeAway to Booking.com

With the Wheelhouse + Orbirental integration, you can now sync all of your demand-driven Wheelhouse rates automatically to your Orbirental calendar. From here, your prices will be synced to your booking widget as well as all your listing channels if you use Orbirental’s channel management capabilities.
