**The problem it solves** Independent hotels and multi-property groups run disconnected systems for reservations, distribution, guest communication, and revenue management, which limits staff efficiency and slows pricing decisions. **What Cloudbeds does** Cloudbeds is a unified hospitality management platform combining a PMS, channel manager, booking engine, guest-experience tools, and revenue intelligence in one system. Founded in 2012 and based in San Diego, it serves more than 26,000 properties across 150 countries, from boutique hotels to hostels, serviced apartments, and vacation rentals. **How it works** The PMS handles front desk, housekeeping, group management, and mobile check-in. Around it: the channel manager distributes inventory across 300+ OTAs, wholesalers, and GDS connections with no added commission; the booking engine drives direct reservations from the property's own site; and a built-in revenue-intelligence layer provides demand forecasting and rate recommendations. Further modules cover guest messaging and digital check-in, a marketing CRM, metasearch and PMax advertising, reputation management, and hotel websites, with 450+ marketplace integrations available via open API. **Who it's for** Independent hotels, boutique chains, hostels, and multi-property groups of all sizes globally that want an all-in-one stack rather than assembling best-of-breed tools.
