About
Uplisting is an all-in-one vacation rental and channel management software designed for property managers and short-term rental hosts looking to streamline operations and grow their business. By connecting directly to Airbnb (as an official software partner), VRBO, and Booking.com, Uplisting eliminates double-bookings and keeps availability, pricing, and restrictions synchronized across all channels in real time. The platform features a unified inbox that consolidates guest communications from every booking channel, along with automated messaging workflows to handle everything from booking confirmation to post-checkout follow-ups. Automated guest review collection helps boost listing rankings without manual effort. Operationally, Uplisting includes a cleaning scheduler to coordinate housekeeping teams, automated security deposits for Booking.com, VRBO, and direct bookings, eSign rental agreements, and guest identity verification for added security. Property management companies benefit from client (owner) portals and auto-generated monthly owner statements. The built-in direct booking engine allows hosts to launch a professional booking website in minutes, enabling revenue diversification beyond OTA platforms. Uplisting also offers an open API and webhooks for custom integrations. It is trusted by property managers overseeing hundreds of properties and has powered over $4 million in direct bookings. Ideal for professional hosts, property management companies, and short-term rental operators of any size.
