PIMS holiday rental management
Done in a PM! I *really* think it's worth it (but then I have 5 properties). I couldn't live without PIMS now, including it's input to my website. Thanks e-Rianh100 wrote:Could someone send me a referral code, I would like to give PIMS a try. We only have the one place so not sure if it is worth it or not.

Just a quick thanks for all the recommendations in favour of PIMS. I am now up and running on the 'lite' version, and have transferred all my client data from the HA site I was using as a repository. I am relieved to spare my guests the ordeal of being spammed by HA even though they didn't book through them I have given my property manager access and await his feedback but I am not expecting him to be anything other than impressed.

2 years ago I gave these reasons why I went with MyVRZone after trying PIMS. My apologies e-richard if some of the differences aren't up to date.digsmelbourne wrote:
I had originally looked into MyVRZone but it looked a bit difficult to set up but I am thinking of switching to either MyVRZone or PIMS. Could anyone please explain the difference between these three channel maangers, pros and cons etc?
Since my units are in the US, the help with the taxes is a heaven sent and I don't know if you have the same setup in Australia (probably not since your VATs are included in the price).
There is also a new feature that I don't want to mention on the forum, but send me a p.m. and I will tell you.
I did give up on PIMS and went with MyVRZone.
PIMS didn't have some of the features that I wanted (I did the gold plan) and my main reasons were these:
It doesn't update homeaway.com (american) which is my main site. I used to be on co.uk, but with the VAT added it was more expensive than .com
PIMS doesn't help you with your accounting.
I have to pay 2 different taxes each month, and MVRZ can help me keep track of these.
MVRZ has small "cookies" inplanted in the messages, and they inform me if the mail has been read, what links has been clicked etc. Very useful.
Enquiry info goes straight into the templates. I don't have to transfer information.
It's cheaper if you have one or two units. $10/month for platinum and $5/month per extra unit. This was not my deciding factor though.
Having said all this
It is not as cleanly laid out as PIMS and has taken me time and effort to get the hang of.
p.s. I see that digsmelbourne only posted twice and that was a year ago, so I guess this is of no interest to him anymore, but maybe for someone else on the forum?
Pessimists only get positive surprises.
