Case Study: ABODEbucks achieves hundreds of hours saved on reporting and thousands in headcount cost savings with Guesty

How Guesty Helps ABODEbucks Save Hundreds Of Hours On Reporting & Thousands of Dollars on Headcount, Enabling The Team to Focus On Strengthening Owner Relations & Growth

ABODEbucks, founded by Josh and Krissy Sedivy, is a St. Louis–based full-service vacation rental manager overseeing 70 properties. When COVID-19 prompted many homeowners to convert or sell rentals, ABODEbucks needed to add value for owners without raising fees and sought tech that would enable direct bookings and more efficient operations — they chose Guesty.

Guesty delivered a direct-booking website, 24/7 guest services, robust reporting and accounting tools, and integrations with Airbnb, Vrbo and Guesty Marketplace partners. As a result, ABODEbucks cut bookkeeping costs by about $7,500 per year, reduced accounting time from roughly 50 hours to 20–30 hours per month, shrank a week-long reporting task to 20 minutes, and sustained higher occupancy in the second half of 2020 versus 2019 — positioning the company to scale.
