Case Study: Andes STR grows from 4 to 20 units and attracts investors with iGMS Inc.

Attracting Investors and Going From 4 to 20 Units How iGMS Accelerated Andes STR’s Growth

Andes STR, an Airbnb management and advisory firm based in Toronto, needed to scale its short‑term rental operations and reassure investors amid a challenging market. The team struggled with fragmented guest communication, guest screening, cleaning coordination, pricing and calendar management across multiple properties, so Andes STR adopted vacation rental software from iGMS Inc. to centralize and simplify operations.

iGMS Inc.’s platform — with a unified inbox, automation templates, guest screening, task management, multi‑calendar and reporting plus hands‑on support — helped Andes STR streamline workflows and reduce errors (guest communication time was cut roughly in half). The business rapidly scaled: in under three months they grew from two units to four and then twenty, compressed project timelines by at least 2x, improved service quality, and attracted domestic, foreign and institutional investors.
