Hostwise had no way of knowing who was walking through their doors—until two alarming incidents made it impossible to ignore. A guest showed up armed. A cleaner walked in on a naked guest who hadn't checked out. Their patchwork access system couldn't keep up with a growing operation, and it was putting staff safety at risk.
Meanwhile, revenue was slipping through the cracks. Upsells were capped at $2,000/month, and their old provider took 5–10% of every transaction.

A Transformação
SuiteOp gave Hostwise centralized control over access and guest operations in a single platform.
Structured access codes—four-digit codes for guests, five-digit codes for cleaners—eliminated ambiguity and gave staff confidence every time they entered a property.
Built-in upsell tools let guests purchase add-ons directly through a branded portal, with Hostwise keeping 100% of the revenue.
A $500 pre-authorization damage waiver created a new income stream while protecting the business from unexpected losses.
The result: safer operations, higher revenue, and a foundation built to scale.

Centralized Lock and Access Management
Hostwise's patchwork lock management system relied on manual updates and disconnected tools. Staff and cleaners faced unsafe situations due to poor access visibility, and there was no scalable system for differentiating lock codes between guests and cleaners.
SuiteOp centralized property access, giving Hostwise full visibility into who could enter each unit and when—without juggling multiple tools or manual updates. The platform replaced uncertainty with a streamlined, reliable system that managers could trust.
Result: Managers no longer relied on manual updates, and the team gained complete confidence in their access control.
Structured Access Rules for Staff Safety
The incidents with the armed guest and the cleaner walking in on an occupied unit highlighted a critical gap: there was no way to clearly distinguish between guest and staff access, creating dangerous ambiguity.
SuiteOp enabled Hostwise to implement structured access rules: four-digit codes for guests and five-digit codes for cleaners. This simple but powerful change removed ambiguity, reduced human error, and gave staff confidence every time they entered a property.
Result: Zero repeat safety incidents since implementation. Staff now work in safer conditions with clearly defined access rules.
Revenue Optimization Through Direct Upsells
Upsells like late check-outs and early arrivals were in demand, but Hostwise's old system couldn't manage them effectively. Even worse, their previous provider took 5–10% off every upsell transaction, capping monthly upsell revenue at around $2,000.
SuiteOp transformed how Hostwise handled upsells. Guests could now purchase add-ons like early check-ins or late check-outs directly through SuiteOp's branded portal, with Hostwise retaining 100% of the revenue. The frictionless experience increased guest adoption while eliminating costly third-party fees.
Result: Upsell revenue increased from ~$2,000/month to $5,000–$6,000/month—a 2.5x increase.
Damage Protection as a New Revenue Stream
Beyond access and upsells, Hostwise needed better protection against property damage—a common challenge in short-term rentals that can quickly erode margins.
SuiteOp introduced a $500 pre-authorization damage waiver, providing both financial protection and a new source of income. This feature strengthened margins while protecting the business from unexpected losses.
Result: New revenue stream created while simultaneously reducing financial risk from guest-caused damage.
How SuiteOp Transformed Hostwise's Operations
By adopting SuiteOp, Hostwise shifted from a reactive operating model to one built on control, clarity, and scalability. Access management, which was once a source of uncertainty, became streamlined and reliable. Managers no longer relied on manual updates, and staff could enter properties with confidence knowing access rules were clearly defined.
Financially, SuiteOp unlocked revenue that Hostwise had previously struggled to capture. Built-in upsell tools removed friction for guests and eliminated costly third-party fees, driving upsell revenue to $5,000–$6,000 per month. The introduction of the $500 damage waiver further strengthened margins while protecting the business from unexpected losses.
Most importantly, SuiteOp gave Hostwise the ability to scale without compromising safety or trust. Staff work in safer conditions, managers spend less time managing fragmented tools, and leadership can grow the business knowing that operations are secure, efficient, and profitable.

O SuiteOp é avaliado com 5/5 pelos nossos utilizadores nos lugares certos
Tem sido fantástico. A SuiteOp nos ajuda a gerir e a elevar a experiência do hóspede, a mantermos a proatividade na entrega de uma verdadeira estadia de cinco estrelas e a mantermos a nossa posição como o operador de grande porte mais bem classificado no Colorado. Além disso, acrescentou valor financeiro real aos nossos resultados. É uma relação de benefício mútuo, especialmente quando se considera o suporte ao cliente, que tem sido um verdadeiro parceiro em vez de um grande fornecedor que apenas entrega uma ferramenta e se retira.
A SuiteOp tem sido um divisor de águas para nós. O tempo economizado durante o check-in é notável, especialmente com o aumento das nossas reservas. Isso reduziu significativamente as chamadas fora do horário de expediente e otimizou todo o processo. A integração de fechaduras digitais melhorou notavelmente a experiência dos hóspedes.
A equipe de suporte deles permanece consistentemente responsiva mesmo depois de trabalharmos juntos por quase um ano. Estamos ansiosos para expandir estas funcionalidades para melhorar ainda mais a experiência dos nossos hóspedes.
A SuiteOp transformou nosso processo de check-in com sua interface intuitiva e códigos de acesso dinâmicos para hóspedes. Suas instruções passo a passo e recursos de upsell estão gerando milhares mensalmente com check-ins antecipados e checkouts tardios. Ao contrário dos concorrentes, a SuiteOp oferece suporte ágil, atualizações regulares e implementa ativamente o feedback dos clientes.
Eles também elevaram nossa marca com uma apresentação profissional que se equipara aos líderes globais da hospitalidade.
