The Challenge: Competing with Large Hotel Chains

Vibrant Management operates a portfolio of distinctive boutique hotels, each with memorable guest experiences, unique to their location. However, competing with the brand recognition and loyalty ecosystems of major hotel chains remained a challenge. Their specific objectives included:

They required a scalable solution that delivered the value of a large-brand loyalty program while preserving the charm and authenticity of their independent hotels.

The Solution: A Seamless PMS and Loyalty Integration

Through the WebRezPro and Stash Hotel Rewards integration, Vibrant Management offers guests a seamless loyalty experience from booking to check-out. 

How the integration works:

Automatically Synced Stay Data:

When a guest is checked out in WebRezPro, stay information is immediately sent to Stash—no manual updates required! This saves time and ensures information is always up to date.

Real-Time Points Updates:

Because data is automatically synced, reward points are instantly awarded to guests in Stash (often before they even get in their car to leave).

Inline Enrollment:

Via inline messaging, guests are notified of points earned when booking through the property’s WebRezPro booking engine, driving direct bookings and new memberships.

Commission-Free Distribution:

Participating properties can also sell inventory through the Stash website for additional commission-free bookings. As well, membership rates are displayed on Google metasearch so that potential guests see the most attractive pricing without having to search across multiple platforms.

The connection gives Vibrant Management properties the opportunity to deliver an enticing rewards program by tapping into a network of millions of members and hundreds of like-minded hotels. Members redeem points at any Stash hotel, increasing the scale of the loyalty program to compete with larger chains. 

“The integration has been smooth, efficient, and hassle free, reinforcing why we love working with both platforms.”
