Vacation rental managers need a procurement solution that unifies purchasing across multiple properties and consolidates all vendors into one easy-to-manage catalog. Both are key to standardizing product quality across locations and scaling operations easily.

In terms of budget control, the ideal platform goes beyond table-stakes features like approval workflows. For example, Order.co's AI sourcing engine identifies better-priced alternatives, helping to control procurement costs while maintaining brand standards.

Order.co automates reordering to ensure your properties stay fully stocked with everything from linens to guest consumables. Teams can build custom product catalogs to standardize what they need for turnovers, renovations, or new launches, and then order everything in one place instead of searching through multiple vendor sites.

They can also set property-specific delivery instructions. This way, items arrive where and when it’s most convenient to cut down on the risk of missed or stolen deliveries.

Procurement platforms like Order.co are invaluable for vacation rental managers looking to gain full visibility and control over every dollar. These platforms centralize spend data from every property in a single dashboard, making it easy to track budgets, approvals, and orders in real time. Managers can then filter by property, product category, department, or vendor to understand purchasing patterns across different locations. These insights can help teams make better decisions about where to cut costs or even invest more, potentially by doing property upgrades.

Additionally, through Order.co’s automated expense coding and integrations with tools like QuickBooks, Netsuite, Sage Intacct, and more, managers can make sure that reporting stays up-to-date without manual intervention.

Through built-in AI sourcing, Order.co identifies lower-cost vendors and bulk-buying opportunities. Order.co's extensive vendor network and partnership with HostGPO save vacation rental operators an average of 39.3% on products through exclusive discounts on everything from linens to cleaning supplies to furnishings.

With Order.co’s centralized purchasing and billing, operators eliminate hidden costs and reclaim hours previously lost to manual price comparisons.
