I've been thinking about how vacation rental management companies use partner integrations. As part of the sales team, it seems that the customers that we are onboarding are looking for more options when it comes to the partners that they want their vacation rental management software to support.
Here's the difference between some other vacation rental management software and Barefoot. We are aggressive in our partner program. If you need to work with a particular partner to be successful or competitive, we want to make that happen for you. We like to give our customers the option of working with whatever marketing portal, payment processor, web designer, etc. So we tend to throw our hat into the ring when our customers need something. It helps that we have been around for fifteen years and have a well developed API and a development staff to make it happen.
Ed Ulmer, CEO of Barefoot, offers the following perspective. "We at Barefoot believe in being a good cloud partner. For most in this industry that means we host your system on the web for you to access anywhere you have internet. For Barefoot of course, we are internet based and while we have the most dynamic rental system in the industry and we are quick to adapt, we realize that there is other technology and expertise out there and we are excited to include those relationships as part of our cloud for the sake of our clients."
Here's where we stand right now when it comes to partners:
