Serviced Apartment Management Software - Built for Extended Stay Operations
Serviced apartments operate differently from traditional hotels. Longer stays, flexible billing cycles, varied housekeeping schedules, and a mix of short-term and long-term guests require software designed for your operating model, not hotel PMS forced to fit. Frontdesko adapts to how serviced apartments actually work.

Why Hotel PMS Fails Serviced Apartments
Traditional hotel software is built for nightly stays - serviced apartments need fundamentally different tools
Nightly PMS in a Monthly World
Hotel PMS is designed around nightly room rates and daily housekeeping. Serviced apartments deal with weekly, monthly, and quarterly stays with tiered pricing. Forcing long-stay bookings into nightly PMS creates billing errors and operational mismatches.
Rigid Housekeeping Scheduling
Hotels clean every room daily. Serviced apartments clean weekly, bi-weekly, or on custom schedules depending on the guest's stay length and preferences. Hotel PMS has no concept of flexible housekeeping schedules.
Complex Billing and Invoicing
Extended stay guests need monthly invoices, utility billing, service charge separation, and corporate billing arrangements. Hotel PMS generates nightly folios that do not work for long-stay accounting and corporate clients.
Designed for Serviced Apartment Operations
Every feature built for the unique requirements of serviced apartments and extended stay properties
Long-Stay Booking Management
Handle bookings from one night to one year with tiered pricing. Daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly rates with automatic rate application based on stay length. Extensions, early departures, and room moves handled seamlessly.
Flexible Housekeeping Schedules
Set housekeeping frequency per unit and per guest: daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or on request. Housekeeping staff see their schedule with the right frequency for each occupied unit, not a blanket daily clean.
Extended Stay Billing
Monthly invoicing, utility billing, service charge separation, and corporate billing arrangements. Generate professional invoices on any billing cycle with itemized charges that long-stay guests and corporate clients expect.
OTA Channel Management
Connect to Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and extended-stay platforms. Manage short-term and long-term availability across all channels. Block units for long-term guests while keeping others available for short stays.
Unit Configuration
Configure apartments with multiple room types, bed configurations, and amenity lists. Kitchenette, washer/dryer, workspace - track unit-specific amenities that serviced apartment guests care about.
Guest Self-Service
Extended stay guests need different interactions than hotel guests. Self-service portals for maintenance requests, housekeeping scheduling, and billing inquiries reduce operational load for long-term residents.

The Serviced Apartment Market Opportunity
Serviced apartments are one of the fastest-growing segments in hospitality - but most still use software built for hotels
The serviced apartment sector is booming, driven by corporate relocations, digital nomads, and travelers who want more space and flexibility than traditional hotels offer. Yet most operators are stuck using hotel PMS systems that were never designed for long stays, flexible billing, or scheduled housekeeping. Frontdesko bridges this gap with management software built specifically for how serviced apartments operate - starting at $0.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is serviced apartment management software?
Software designed for the unique operations of serviced apartments: long-stay booking management, flexible billing cycles (weekly/monthly/quarterly), scheduled housekeeping (not daily), and corporate invoicing. Unlike hotel PMS, it handles stays from one night to one year.
Can I manage both short-term and long-term stays?
Yes. Frontdesko handles nightly, weekly, monthly, and quarterly stays with tiered pricing. You can mix short-term OTA bookings with long-term corporate stays on the same platform, managing availability across all booking types.
Does it support monthly invoicing for corporate clients?
