US: Short-term rental software platform Guesty has been selected as the new certified property management system (PMS) for premier vacation rental property management company Casago following a strategic agreement between the two companies.
The partnership will see Guesty’s franchise-ready HQ platform rolled out across Casago’s expanding network of franchise partners, including those transitioning from the recently acquired Vacasa portfolio. The combined business now manages more than 40,000 properties across North America, the Caribbean, Belize and Costa Rica.
Guesty’s platform has been tailored specifically for multi-location and franchise operations, offering a centralised HQ layer with flexible local controls. It enables franchisees to manage workflows, reporting and guest experience tools, while giving franchisors full visibility over operational performance.
Steve Schwab, founder and CEO of Casago, said: “When Casago first started talking to prospective franchisees, some of these partners told us that retaining Guesty was critical to their existing operations. Guesty’s systems immediately impressed us. They help local teams and franchisors work seamlessly together, so it’s really about blending our strengths to deliver better experiences for homeowners and guests.
“At Casago, whenever we talk about technology, partnerships, or growth, it always comes back to the local teams running the properties, the homeowners who trust us with their investments, and the guests we’re here to serve—that’s who we’re building for.”
Amiad Soto, founder and CEO of Guesty, added: “The custom-tailored Guesty HQ solution is the industry’s first PMS product engineered from the ground up to deliver results specifically for franchisees. Now, local operators can fully control and craft their workflows while being nested under an HQ services layer, allowing for back-office support.”
As part of the agreement, Guesty’s Chief Evangelist David Angotti will take on a dual role as senior advisor to Casago, supporting marketing and revenue strategies for its franchisees.
