The Global Standard for Short-Term Rental Operations.

Most STR operators run a channel manager (Guesty, Hostaway), a pricing tool (PriceLabs, Beyond), a guest messaging app, a cleaning dispatch tool (Breezeway, Turno), a smart lock vendor (RemoteLock, August), an owner accounting spreadsheet or tool (OwnerRez), a booking website builder, and a review aggregator. That is eight separate vendors, eight invoices, and eight logins with zero integration between them. Calisto consolidates all of these into one platform: Pulse handles channels and pricing, Dispatch handles cleaning crews, Access handles smart locks, Ledger handles owner trust accounting, Sites handles direct bookings, Reputation handles reviews, and Inbox handles guest messaging across every channel. One login, one subscription, one source of truth.

Short-term rental properties (villas, cabins, beach houses) are remote. Coordinating cleaning crews, pool service, landscaping, pest control, and maintenance across scattered properties is the hardest part of property management. Calisto includes 151 field operations features: GPS-tracked crew dispatch, route optimization, multi-stage work orders with photo documentation, equipment lifecycle tracking, chemical compliance logging (pools, pest control), automated predictive maintenance, and a full automation engine for turnover workflows. No other rental platform has any of this. These features exist because the platform was designed by someone who has actually coordinated 40 turnovers on a Saturday across properties 30 miles apart.

Yes. Calisto supports a bring-your-own-backend architecture. You can deploy on your own database and object storage, in your own jurisdiction, under your own control. EU operators facing GDPR can keep guest data in Frankfurt. Australian operators facing data residency requirements can keep data in Sydney. Tax authorities increasingly require data hosted in their jurisdiction. Most STR platforms (Hostaway, Hostfully, Lodgify, Guesty) force their cloud. Calisto gives you the choice: our infrastructure or yours.

STR is inherently cross-border. Your listings appear on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, and Expedia to guests booking from any country. Calisto was built for this reality from day one: multi-currency payouts so owners in different countries receive funds in their local currency, multi-language guest communications (welcome guides, check-in instructions, house rules delivered in the guest language), 56 regional payment gateways covering 30+ countries, and regional tax automation. This is not a feature added later. The data model, the billing layer, the address forms, and the locale handling were all built for global operations from the start.

Yes. The same platform that a solo host uses to manage a single cabin is the same platform a portfolio operator uses for hundreds of listings across multiple regions. You do not outgrow Calisto and migrate to a different tier or a different product. The data model that powers global hotel groups applies to STR at every scale. Solo hosts start with channel sync, messaging, and digital keys. Professional managers add owner portals, trust accounting, and field crew dispatch. Enterprise operators add multi-entity financial management, custom API integrations, and granular permission controls. Same platform, same login, same data.

Calisto connects to Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia, Agoda, and 200+ OTAs with real-time ARI sync and iCal feed support for niche platforms. Plus you get a direct booking engine with smart chatbot to reduce OTA commission dependency and capture 100% of direct revenue.

Built in, not an add-on. The 7-factor algorithm adjusts rates based on occupancy, demand, competition, seasonality, day-of-week, length-of-stay, and historical patterns. Gap-fill automation targets empty nights between bookings. Event intelligence detects local festivals, concerts, and conferences to adjust rates automatically. Cold-start intelligence means new listings price correctly from day one.

Calisto includes a full owner management suite: owner register, trust accounting ledger, automated statements, commission configuration, and a self-service owner portal where owners view real-time revenue, occupancy, and payment history. The owner statement reconciles to the penny across every channel and every currency. No separate software or spreadsheets needed.

Every STR operation touches all three suites. Ops Suite products (Pulse, Dispatch, Ledger, Access, Signal, Sync, POS, Navigator) handle channel distribution, pricing, field crew dispatch, smart locks, trust accounting, and payment processing. Work Suite products (Inbox, Mail, Voice, Calendar, Tasks, Sign, Box) handle guest messaging across WhatsApp/SMS/email, owner correspondence, rental agreements, turnover task management, and property document storage. Marketing Suite products (Sites, Apps, Ethos, Studio, Echo, Reputation, Campaigns, Circle) handle your direct booking website, branded guest app, listing media, local SEO, review aggregation, email campaigns, and referral programs. All share one guest record, one property record, one calendar. A booking on Airbnb triggers a pre-arrival message in Inbox, a turnover task in Tasks, a cleaner dispatch in Dispatch, a digital key in Access, and a revenue entry in Ledger. No integrations to configure.

Calisto was designed by someone who has actually run operations. The turnover board exists because that person needed to coordinate 40 turnovers on a Saturday. The damage claim workflow exists because they needed to file, photograph, and recover before the next guest walked in. The owner statement reconciles to the penny because an owner once called about a missing $12 cleaning fee. Every workflow reflects a real operational scenario, not a product manager's hypothesis about what operators might want.

Calisto includes omnichannel messaging (WhatsApp, SMS, email) with automated sequences for pre-arrival, check-in, mid-stay, and post-checkout. Native VoIP calling for voice support. Digital key provisioning, smart lock integration, and access code scheduling are all handled automatically. Guests get a Navigator portal for self-service check-in and property information. All communications support multiple languages from day one.

Yes. Start for free with full access to all 50 products across all three suites. No credit card required, no time limit, and no feature restrictions. You only pay the 2% revenue share once you begin processing transactions.

Because it makes us partners, not just a vendor. A fixed subscription means your software company gets paid whether you have a record month or an empty lobby. A revenue share means we are financially invested in building tools that actually grow your business. If you have a slow month or a seasonal closure, your bill scales down with you.
