At a Glance

AtomicStays is one of the largest short-term rental operators in Colorado, managing over 200 vacation and mountain escape properties with a team of just 16. As demand and bookings grew, the team began facing some operational issues such as disconnected tools, outdated guest guides, and missed revenue opportunities. That’s when they turned to SuiteOp to streamline guest operations and unlock new revenue streams, without expanding their team.

The Challenge

AtomicStays grew fast, becoming one of Colorado's largest short-term rental operators with over 273 properties managed by a team of just 16. But behind the scenes, the operation was held together by manual processes that couldn't keep up.

Guest guidebooks were stitched together through Canva links and outdated PMS tools. Every early check-in request triggered a chain of manual steps: coordinating access, messaging the cleaner, updating the guest. Scaling upsells across hundreds of properties wasn't feasible when each one required that kind of hands-on coordination.

The biggest missed opportunity was damage waivers. Without automation, even minor guest issues required involving property owners or insurance, a process too slow and painful to justify at scale. So AtomicStays simply didn't offer them. The result was thousands in potential revenue lost month after month, with no path to capturing it.

SuiteOp helped us manage the guest experience and improve upon that, be proactive about providing a five star experience and helped us maintain our status as the highest rated large operator in Colorado!

The Transformation

SuiteOp brought all of AtomicStays' guest operations into a single platform, replacing disconnected tools with automated workflows that run in the background.

A fully automated damage waiver program launched for the first time, something AtomicStays had never been able to offer. Guests see the waiver option during their booking flow, payments process automatically, and small issues get resolved without involving owners or insurance. What was previously an impossible-to-scale idea became one of the company's top revenue drivers overnight.

Upsell automation eliminated hours of manual coordination. Early check-ins, late check-outs, and service packages are now offered automatically to the right guests at the right time. When a guest opts in, SuiteOp updates smart lock access, notifies the appropriate team members via Slack, and sends guest confirmations, all without anyone on the team intervening.

A centralized digital guidebook replaced the patchwork of Canva links and outdated PMS content. Guests can now find lock codes, WiFi information, property details, and local recommendations in one place, reducing repetitive questions and freeing up significant team bandwidth.

The result: more revenue, less manual work, and a guest experience that scales with the business.

Automated Damage Waivers at Scale

Before SuiteOp, damage waivers were a known opportunity that AtomicStays simply couldn't act on. The mechanics of offering, collecting, and managing waivers across 273 properties required a level of automation their existing tools couldn't provide. When minor damage occurred, the team had two options: absorb the cost or initiate a slow, painful process involving property owners and insurance claims. Neither option was sustainable, and neither protected the guest experience.

SuiteOp made damage waivers operational for the first time by building them directly into the guest booking flow. Every guest is automatically presented with the option to purchase a waiver, payments are processed without staff involvement, and the revenue goes directly to AtomicStays. When small issues arise during a stay, the team can now resolve them quickly and internally, without filing claims or pulling owners into the conversation. This protects the guest relationship, protects the asset, and keeps operations moving. The impact has been massive.

Damage waivers are now one of AtomicStays' top revenue drivers, contributing over $500K in projected annual revenue. That's not incremental improvement on an existing process. That's an entirely new revenue line that didn't exist before SuiteOp, built on automation that requires zero additional headcount to maintain.

Scaling Guest Upsells Across 273 Properties

Upsells like early check-ins and late check-outs were always popular with guests, but at AtomicStays' scale, offering them consistently was a staffing nightmare. Each request required someone to check availability, coordinate with housekeeping, manually update the smart lock schedule, message the guest, and confirm the change. Multiply that across hundreds of properties during peak season and the math simply didn't work. Most requests either got dropped or took so long to process that the guest experience suffered.

SuiteOp automated the entire upsell lifecycle from offer to fulfillment. Guests are presented with available add-ons through the guest portal at the right moment in their journey. When they purchase, the system handles everything: adjusting smart lock access windows, sending Slack notifications to the relevant team members, and confirming with the guest. No manual steps, no bottlenecks, no missed opportunities. This didn't just improve consistency. It fundamentally changed the economics of upselling for AtomicStays.

Premium add-ons are now offered to every eligible guest across every property, increasing average booking value by $125 per stay. The team recaptured 48 hours per week of manual coordination time that was previously spent managing these requests by hand, time that now goes toward growth rather than busywork.

Replacing Scattered Guidebooks with a Centralized Guest Portal

AtomicStays' guest communication had become a patchwork problem. Guidebooks were built in Canva, linked through their PMS, and scattered across different tools depending on when and how each property was onboarded. When information changed (a new WiFi password, updated check-in instructions, a local restaurant closing), there was no efficient way to update it across the portfolio. Guests regularly messaged the team with basic questions that should have been self-service, things like lock codes, parking instructions, and WiFi details, creating a constant stream of repetitive work for a team of 16 already stretched thin.

SuiteOp replaced all of that with a single, centralized digital guidebook accessible through the guest portal. Every property now has a consistently formatted, always-current guide that guests can access from the moment they book. Lock codes, WiFi credentials, property-specific details, local recommendations, and house rules all live in one place. Updates push across the portfolio instantly. The operational relief was immediate. Repetitive guest inquiries dropped significantly as guests found what they needed without having to message or call.

The team got meaningful time back each week, and the guest experience improved simply because information was easier to find. For a lean operation managing 273 properties, that kind of efficiency gain compounds quickly.

SuiteOp's Impact

How SuiteOp Turned Operational Efficiency into Revenue for AtomicStays

By implementing SuiteOp, AtomicStays transformed from a fast-growing operator held back by manual processes into one where guest operations and revenue generation run on autopilot. The shift wasn't about adding more people or more tools. It was about replacing fragmented workflows with a single platform that automates the work that was previously eating up the team's capacity.

The financial impact has been substantial. Damage waivers alone, a revenue stream that didn't exist before SuiteOp, are projected to generate over $500K annually. Automated upsells increased average booking value by $125 per stay across the portfolio. And within the first month, the platform delivered measurable returns that validated the investment. AtomicStays also found significant cost savings by migrating smart lock management from their PMS to SuiteOp, reducing both tech complexity and operational overhead.

Beyond revenue, SuiteOp gave AtomicStays back something equally valuable: time. The team recaptured 48 hours per week of manual coordination, hours that had been spent on repetitive tasks like processing upsell requests, updating guidebooks, and fielding basic guest questions. That time now goes toward scaling the business rather than maintaining it. With a team of just 16 managing 273 properties, AtomicStays has proven that operational leverage, not headcount, is the key to sustainable growth, and SuiteOp is the platform making that possible.
