Online Vacation Rental Management Software Tools for busy people!

Free calendar availability synchronization with major listing sites

How many availability calendars do you have - your own website, your reservation tracking system (spreadsheet?), advertisers such as the HomeAway sites (HomeAwayConnect), your desktop PC and maybe your mobile phone? With all of the advertisers that there are with their own availability calendars, it can be a pretty time-consuming job to keep them all updated - often to the point where only a few are actually kept up-to-date.

You can keep your own website calendar up-to-date by embedding the MyVRZone Vacation Rental Management Software's customizable availability calendar on it - choose colors and number of months displayed etc. It will always be in sync with the reservations stored in the system, so you never need to do anything to update it.

Many of the large advertiser/listng site's availability calendars can be updated by the MyVRZone reservation management tools automatically whenever there is a change, so you can have them kept up-to-date in the same way that your website availability calendar is kept up-to-date without you having to do anything. You can see which advertisers are currently updated in the list below.

Finally, your PC and mobile calendars can be kept up-to-date using the iCal feed that MyVRZone provides - see your reservations get updated there with a one-time setup.

How does it work?

Choose your main Up-to-date calendar and MyVRZone's Vacation Rental Management Software will synchronize it with other updatable calendars automatically. The up-to-date calendar is either MyVRZone or HomeAwayConnect. If HomeAwayConnect is the up-to-date calendar then the calendar will be read once each day and the other calendars updated then. If MyVRzone is the up-to-date calendar then it will update all other calendars as soon as there's a change to the availability and as often as necessary to keep your ranking high on sites that use last availability update as a factor.

Synchronization can be performed manually from within the software management tools if required.
