# The operations layer for short-term rental properties

> AI operations management software for short-term rentals: bookings, guests, cleaners, upsell signals and host approvals in one layer, over its own record.

Santara AI is AI operations management software for short-term rental properties: the daily operating layer for hosts, co-hosts and property managers who run bookings, messages, turnovers, cleaner status and upsell decisions across multiple tools.

A property management system stores the booking. An operations layer runs the day around it — who arrives, what has to be cleaned, which turnover is at risk, which guest needs an answer. Santara AI does both, which is why it replaces a PMS rather than sitting beside one.

Instead of asking hosts to inspect another dashboard, Santara AI organizes the signals, explains what changed, and prepares the next action for review.

## FAQ

### What does Santara AI actually replace?

The coordination, not the tools. It sits on top of your channels and runs the morning: the brief, the cleaning plan, the tickets, the drafts and the reporting.

### Is this a channel manager?

Yes — that layer is ours. 54 sales channels connect and sync here: Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda, Traveloka, Expedia and the rest, all from inside Santara AI. What we do not do is create listings for you — you bring the account, we keep rates, availability and bookings in sync with it.

### What is not included?

Trust accounting. It is roadmap, and we say so on our comparison page rather than waiting for you to find out. The direct booking site, on the other hand, is shipped — seven templates, your own Stripe account, and 0% commission, with no revenue share.

### How long does setup take?

Migration is free and done for you — we set up your properties, staff and workflows from your spreadsheets or WhatsApp groups.
