History
In 2016, Alexander Limpert founded GuestReady, motivated by the need to address operational challenges in managing short-term rentals that were not covered by online travel agencies (OTAs).[10] Initially, as GuestReady grew rapidly, manual management of operations became unsustainable.[10] To overcome these practical challenges, GuestReady developed RentalReady,[4] a property management system that was described by Alexander Limpert as a "system built by operators, for operators."[10] Starting in 2019, GuestReady began licensing its RentalReady technology to other property management companies.[11].
In 2022, RentalReady demonstrated its strength by processing 184,000 reservations in more than eight countries, highlighting its advanced technology.[12].
In 2023, GuestReady reached the milestone of managing more than 6,000 properties in Europe and the Middle East,[13] an achievement attributed to the power of RentalReady.[11] During this period, RentalReady revealed its new brand identity and several AI-powered updates, including new integrations such as personalized itineraries, guest mood detection, and intelligent responses to reviews.[14][15][11][3].
