What were the challenges of getting to know HQBeds?
Adopting HQBeds brought some significant improvements to Surf Camp Arara. Initially, Pablo needed time to become familiar with the system, which proved to be intuitive and well structured.
The platform enabled more efficient reservation control, reducing the risk of overbookings. In addition, the system provided a clear overview of finances, making it easier to accurately monitor expenses and revenues.
"Mainly the issue of organizing reservations, the high risk of overbooking, which involved several OTAs being open. And then you could only manage with an Excel spreadsheet. Anyway, you know all about that, which greatly hinders the organization of the hostel."
"That's what Pablo concluded when asked about the challenges he faced in his management before HQBeds."
How was the solution implemented?
Adopting HQBeds brought many significant improvements to Surf Camp Arara. Initially, Pablo had to familiarize himself with the system, which proved to be intuitive and well-structured.
The platform allowed for more efficient control of reservations, minimizing the risk of overbookings. Furthermore, the system provided a clear view of finances, facilitating the accurate tracking of expenses and revenues.
“One thing that surprised me, which I hadn’t thought about at first, is how it also helps with finances, with expenses, with being very conscious of spending. I can input into the system in a matter of seconds how much money I spent on pool chlorine. Something super basic, which before having the system was much more difficult to organize.”
Paul said.
What results were achieved throughout the journey with HQBeds?
Since implementing HQBeds, Surf Camp Arara has experienced an overall improvement in all aspects of its operation. The organization of reservations has become more efficient, which has reduced the risk of overbookings and improved guest satisfaction. More precise financial control has helped Pablo better manage his expenses and increase the profitability of the business.
“Yes, in general everything has improved a little. But I think that personally, at least, also because I'm the sole partner and don't have to answer to anyone, I've been able to organize my finances. In every sense, in terms of reserves, values, and expenses.”
One of the aspects most praised by Pablo was the support offered by HQBeds. The fast and efficient service, especially via WhatsApp, made all the difference in the implementation process and continuous use of the platform. The positive experience led Pablo to recommend HQBeds to other hostels, highlighting the support as a major differentiator.
