Property management software built for independent properties. Not hotel chains.

Preno gives you one place to manage everything that keeps your property running — bookings, housekeeping, accounting, reporting, and your team. Cloud-based and built for the way independent operators actually work. Backed by real people who answer the phone.

Built for properties like yours.

On any given day, the same person might take a reservation in the morning, manage rates at lunch, and brief the cleaning team before afternoon arrivals. Preno is built around that reality — for independent properties across Australia and New Zealand where the front desk and the back office are often the same team.

Boutique hotels, motels, B&Bs, pubs with rooms, lodges, and serviced apartments.

Why operators switch to Preno

The numbers should actually add up.

Manual exports into Xero. Payouts that don’t match reservations. Hours spent reconciling what should take minutes. A system that doesn’t talk to your accounting software isn’t saving you time — it’s hiding the cost.

Double bookings should be a thing of the past.

 OTA sync that lags by hours is a liability. One double booking costs more than a month’s software subscription — in stress, in refunds, and in the review that follows. Real-time sync across every channel should be the baseline.

Support should pick up, not log a ticket.

When something goes wrong at 9pm before a full house, you don’t need a ticket number. You need someone who picks up, knows your setup, and can fix it. That’s not what most hotel software vendors offer once you’re past the sales call.

What sets Preno apart

Real help from people who get it

When you reach out — even at 9pm on a busy Friday — you hear back quickly from a real person who knows what running a property involves.

“Lots of management systems are out there that are faceless. Working with Preno is working with people you can phone and speak to. I see the Preno team as being part of our business, not just a computer programme.”
— Garry W., Owner Manager, NZ

Your books stay in sync

Preno’s Xero integration is native and two-way — your reservations and accounts update together automatically. Month-end becomes a check, not a project. Also connects with MYOB.
“Preno’s Xero connectivity has allowed us to maximise bookings while minimising time taken with invoicing and eradicating all missed billing.”
— Manager, Mud Hut Motel, NZ

Start free. Stay on your terms.

Seven days free, no credit card required. Month-to-month, transparent pricing, cancel any time. When you switch, your booking history, guest profiles and rate plans come with you — we’ve done this hundreds of times.

“We made the switch a while ago and have never looked back. Its intuitive interface makes it easy to track reservations, organise availability, and handle guest communication efficiently.”
— Manager, Bundalong, AU

Manage from anywhere. Update in real time.

Log in to Preno on your mobile, tablet or computer and work from wherever you are. Any last-minute change — a room swap, a rate update, a new booking — reflects across your whole system the moment it’s made. Your team stays in sync whether they’re at the front desk or off-site. Works on iPhone, Android, Windows and Apple.

Preno Key Metrics Channel Manager

The data that tells you how your property is really performing.

Preno’s reporting gives you a clear view of what’s driving revenue and what isn’t. Segment reports by booking source, room type, date, channel or guest — and use that information to make decisions based on what’s actually happening in your property. Track RevPAR, ADR, Net Revenue and occupancy in one place.

Tools to reduce admin and boost revenue

Fast, real human support. Whenever you need it.

Hospitality doesn’t stop at 5pm, and neither does our support team. When something goes wrong — before a full house, in the middle of a busy weekend, or at the end of a long day — you reach a real person who knows Preno and knows what it takes to run a property. Not a ticket. Not an outsourced call centre. Real people with fast responses.

“No matter who you talk to within the Preno team, they can help you within minutes. That’s really important when you’re open 24 hours yourself.”
— Sam, Marquis of Granby, Kent

Accounting that actually keeps up with your bookings.

Preno’s Xero integration is native and two-way — your reservations and payments sync to your accounts automatically, so your books reflect reality without anyone manually entering data. Month-end reconciliation goes from hours to minutes. End-of-year reporting is faster. Debtor management is automated so you get paid sooner. Also integrates with MYOB.

Keep your team in sync. Every room, every day.

Track and update room status in real time, assign tasks to specific staff, and add guest-specific notes — bed preferences, special requests, anything the next person at the door needs to know. Staff get instant updates on any device. Daily housekeeping reports are generated automatically. No separate tool, no printed lists, no chasing.

What customers are saying about Preno

Common questions about property management software

What is property management software for hotels?

Property management software (often called a PMS) is the central system that runs your property’s day-to-day operations — managing bookings, room availability, housekeeping, guest records, payments and reporting. Modern cloud-based systems like Preno connect everything in one place, including your OTAs, accounting software and booking engine.

It handles the core operations of your property: taking and managing reservations, updating availability across booking channels, tracking housekeeping progress, storing guest records and preferences, processing payments, and generating reports on your property’s performance. Preno does all of this in one system without requiring separate tools.

Preno starts from $39 NZD per month, with plans scaling by room count and features. All plans are month-to-month — no lock-in contract. See full pricing.
