Direct, an innovator of vertical SaaS solutions for the vacation rental industry, announced its strategic partnership with RVshare.
The collaboration signifies Direct’s expansion into the rapidly growing RV rental market, offering cutting-edge technology and solutions for RV rental management, it said.
Specializing in offering asset management, booking and back-office software solutions for professional short-term rental operators, Direct also simplifies distribution by integrating with leading rental platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia and Google Vacation Rentals. Now, as the preferred and fully integrated software partner of RVshare, Direct is leading the transformation in RV fleet management operations, it said.
“The partnership between RVshare and Direct marks a significant step forward in the RV rental category,” says RVshare’s CEO Jon Gray. “When I was building Vrbo over a decade ago, professional vacation rental managers were able to level up their operations by leveraging B2B technology. It is exciting to offer professional RV fleet managers best-in-class software that will help them take their businesses to the next level. Direct will help standardize and professionalize this rapidly growing vertical of short-term rentals in the process.”
How fleet managers can get started:
- RV fleet managers distributing their inventory through RVshare and other rental sites can now leverage Direct as the engine for more efficiently managing listings, bookings and messages, running back-office operations and more.
- After completing a few quick steps at RVshare, fleet managers will return to Direct to sign in for the first time and then click a button to import and sync their entire RVshare account, fully onboarded with listings distributed to RVshare in a matter of minutes.
“On average, the total time to register for an account in Direct and complete the onboarding process is approximately 20 minutes,” says Direct CEO Wes Smithe. “Fleet managers can virtually start using Direct immediately without any manual effort.”
