We’re excited to announce a new partnership between AIPEX and OwnerRez

OwnerRez is internationally recognized as a leader in the vacation rental industry for channel management, CRM, PM, accounting, messaging, and websites. Integrate with all major vacation rental channels to seamlessly sync availability, rates, rules, and listing content. With OwnerRez, hosts can get their own modern fast website, process payments directly, manage inquiries, communication, and guest checkout with e-sign renter agreements.

A new set of technical integrations is available to hosts using OwnerRez that make it easy to use best-in-class AI to help with guest interactions. With this collaboration, hosts will now be able to leverage AI-powered tools to further streamline operations, enhance the guest experience, and ultimately drive more value from their properties.

OwnerRez Extended with the Power of AIPEX AI

AIPEX is the most complete AI solution for guest engagement, and is now seamlessly integrated with the OwnerRez property management system. This partnership brings together two industry-leading platforms, creating a unified solution that makes it easier for hosts to manage guest communications and property details while elevating the guest experience.

With the AIPEX platform, OwnerRez customers get access to three distinct AI solutions. A single low-cost subscription delivers unique value from all three:

  1. AI Concierge on Guest’s Phones: Guests can enjoy a digital concierge service right at their fingertips. AIPEX’s virtual concierge offers support in over 30 languages, with context-specific buttons that provide a smooth self-service experience. This feature is fully customizable, allowing hosts to tailor the guest journey, answer common queries, and provide information through images, audio, and video.
  1. In-Property AI Devices: With the option to add Amazon Alexa in-property smart devices, hosts can control digital signage, display welcome messages, and allow guests to interact directly using voice commands. These devices provide a visually engaging way to showcase local attractions, provide property details, and create a unique in-stay experience.
  1. AI-Powered Messaging: The messaging system is fully integrated into the OwnerRez unified inbox. Hosts receive instant notifications for new messages, and the AI drafts contextually aware responses, saving time and ensuring guests receive prompt and accurate information.
