Case Study: Sykes Cottages boosts owner retention and bookings with Droids On Roids

Sykes Cottages boosts revenue 15% with Droids On Roids

Sykes Cottages, a holiday cottage rental company with over 22,500 properties, faced a challenge in its relationship with property owners. Owners were spending excessive time on administrative tasks and chasing booking information, which created friction and threatened retention. Sykes partnered with Droids On Roids to build an owner-first management app to address this.

Droids On Roids developed a comprehensive app that consolidated critical data, streamlined owner-guest communication, and provided tools for income management. A key feature was the Property Optimiser, which allowed owners to make five fundamental listing changes with a single tap. The solution was highly successful, onboarding over 11,000 owners quickly. Optimized properties saw a 15% increase in revenue and a 25% increase in bookings, significantly strengthening owner retention for Sykes Cottages.
