The Problem

Scale Without
Infrastructure

Perdonis scaled from 12 units to multiple properties across 3 cities in 2 years. Operations infrastructure didn't keep pace — manual contract handling became structural liability. New client onboarding averaged 14 days from signed contract to first active booking.

14-day gap from signed contract to first active booking

Guest inquiries unanswered 48+ hrs during peak volume

Premium amenity attach rate under 8% — no upsell logic

Ops team spending 60%+ of time on manual admin tasks

Our Approach

Lifecycle Automation

02

Dynamic Onboarding System

Monday.com auto-generates client-specific boards at contract signature, assigns tasks with SLA deadlines, triggers sequenced comms via Twilio — zero manual touchpoints.

03

Behavior-Based Upsell Engine

Guest checking in 5+ nights auto-receives curated upgrade offer 24 hrs before arrival. Drove 35% lift in premium attach rate within month one.

Outcomes

What
Changed

Onboarding reduced from 14 days to under 4 — 72% improvement through automation.

Upsell attach rate: 8% → 35% within month one of the behavior-triggered offer system.

$890K annual ops cost eliminated by automating tasks previously requiring headcount.

Client satisfaction reached 98.4% — up from 79% at engagement start.

Inbound inquiry volume dropped 40% week one as proactive updates eliminated status chasing.

"

Guest communications were slipping constantly at our volume. Within 30 days, the system had automated our entire inquiry-to-confirmation flow — and the upsell revenue in month one alone covered the cost of the entire engagement.
