Extended stay hotels, also known as serviced apartments, have increased<br />
significantly in numbers in recent years. Today they are an important and<br />
specialised segment of the hospitality industry which present their own<br />
challenges in guest data, operations, services and planning, especially when<br />
faced with guests who are unsure of their departure date.<br />
These unique challenges have been met by Gearco and its adapted cloud<br />
property management system, True Extended Stay. True Extended Stay is<br />
a solution that elevates and enables extended stay operations to meet the<br />
market demand and operational needs, as well as excelling in <strong>com</strong>pliance<br />
requirements related to operations, taxes, and other local government<br />
regulations.<br />

True Extended Stay is designed<br />
for properties where guests can<br />
stay from seven nights to forever.<br />
This in itself presents a very<br />
real operational and <strong>com</strong>pliance<br />
challenges because longer stays<br />
are impacted by rules for lodging<br />
and housing ordinances.<br />
Extended stays on average last<br />
more than 90 days and are more<br />
operationally focused than sales<br />
focused. To assist in this, automated<br />
solutions are deployed to improve<br />
how the front desk provides<br />
services to customers and how the<br />
property functions in areas such<br />
as property revenue collection,<br />
customer transactions, security<br />
control, inventory management,<br />
maintenance tasks, tax tracking,<br />
daily audits, as well as more<br />
automated controls and workflow.<br />
With over 20 years’ experience in<br />
this ever-changing industry it’s fair<br />
to say you will be in safe hands with<br />
Gearco’s True Extended Stay.<br />
