Case Study: Happy Holiday Homes achieves full occupancy and scalable expansion with Rentals United

Happy Holiday Homes - Customer Case Study

Happy Holiday Homes, headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland, is a rapidly growing property manager with about 1,500 rentals across Europe and an ambitious franchise rollout. The company built its own PMS but faced the challenge of scaling distribution and visibility on multiple OTAs, automating calendar/price updates and compliance tasks, and reducing manual data entry — problems it addressed using Rentals United (API + Rentals United).

By integrating Rentals United’s channel-management API, Happy Holiday Homes automated rate, availability and calendar syncing to major portals and niche channels, cutting manual work and ensuring timely compliance with local registration and tax rules. The Rentals United connection supported rapid expansion (10 offices opened in 2017, 240 homes in Chamonix, and 15 franchises planned), improved visibility and booking volume across its ~1,500 properties, and freed teams to focus on operations and guest experience.
