Louis switched to Preno and saw occupancy jump from 35% to 75%. In the first month alone, the system blocked over $600 in fraudulent bookings that would previously have gone undetected.
Hotel management software built for independent properties. Not hotel chains.
Preno gives independent operators one clear view of bookings, channels, payments, and daily operations — so nothing gets missed, the numbers add up, and your team can focus on guests rather than the system. Backed by real people who answer the phone.
Built for properties like yours.
At most independent properties, the same person handles check-ins in the morning, manages rates at lunch, and briefs the cleaning team before afternoon arrivals. Preno is built around that reality — for independent properties across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, where anyone might be checking in the next guest.
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.
“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
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.”

Ready to see it for yourself?
Everything connected. Nothing missed.
Bookings, rates, channels, payments, and daily operations – all in one place. Your availability updates in real time the moment a booking comes in, across every channel. Native two-way Xero integration means your accounts reconcile with one click, not a morning of exports and corrections.
“Since using Preno’s channel manager, we are receiving a lot more reservations through Booking.com — it is really noticeable.”
— Dee Ratima, Owls Nest Motel, NZ
More revenue. Less manual work.
Dynamic pricing adjusts your rates to match demand without you having to log in each day to check. Automated guest emails, direct booking upsells, and channel performance reporting handle the routine — so your attention stays on guests, not admin.

Common questions about hotel management software
What is hotel management software?
Hotel management software is the central system that runs your property’s day-to-day operations — managing bookings, room availability, check-ins and check-outs, payments, and reporting. Modern cloud-based systems like Preno also connect directly to your OTAs, accounting software, and booking engine, so everything updates in one place without manual data entry.
How much does hotel management software cost?
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.
Does hotel management software integrate with Xero?
Preno’s Xero integration is native and two-way — not an export-and-import workaround. Reservations, payments, and invoices sync automatically. Month-end reconciliation goes from hours to minutes. Preno also integrates with MYOB and Zapier.
How long does it take to get up and running with hotel management software?
It depends mostly on you — your schedule and how quickly you want to move through setup. Most properties are fully up and running within a few weeks. Staff typically pick it up in hours, not weeks.
Can I switch hotel management software without losing my booking history?
Yes. Preno handles the migration. Your booking history, guest profiles, and rate plans move with you. We’ve done this hundreds of times — it’s a defined process, not a project you manage yourself.
What size properties does Preno work for?
Preno is built for independent properties with 5–50 rooms — boutique hotels, motels, lodges, B&Bs, pubs with rooms, and serviced apartments. If you’re an independent operator who wants a system that fits how you work, it is.
