Streamlining Property Management with a Cost-Efficient AI Solution

The Client

A property management company overseeing short-term rentals faced rising operational costs and inefficiencies in handling guest inquiries. With a small team and growing demand, they needed a scalable solution to maintain high guest satisfaction without breaking the bank.

The Challenge

The client had been pitched a resource-heavy AI system that promised automation but came with a steep price tag and complex implementation—far beyond their budget and capacity. They turned to us for a smarter, leaner alternative that could deliver results fast while keeping costs in check.

Our Solution

We spearheaded the design and implementation of a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) proof-of-concept (POC) tailored to their needs. By leveraging RAG-based agents, we created a streamlined program to automate routine guest inquiries—think booking questions, check-in instructions, and common troubleshooting—while ensuring complex issues were seamlessly escalated to the business owner for personal attention.

Our strategy focused on:

  • Cost Efficiency: Replacing the bloated, expensive proposal with a lightweight RAG solution that fit the client’s budget.
  • Automation: Targeting 60% of routine inquiries for hands-off resolution, freeing up the owner’s time.
  • Speed: Building a POC that streamed AI-generated answers in seconds, not minutes.

The Results

Within weeks of deployment, the RAG-based system transformed the client’s operations:

  • Response Time Slashed: Guest inquiries that once took over 30 minutes to address were answered in seconds, a 100% efficiency gain.
  • Cost Savings: The lean POC eliminated the need for an overpriced system, delivering measurable value without financial strain.
  • Scalability: Automation handled 60% of inquiries, allowing the owner to focus on growth and high-priority tasks.

The effectiveness of the RAG agents continues to be tracked through response time metrics and guest satisfaction, proving that smart AI doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.

Why It Matters

This project showcases our ability to turn complex challenges into practical, budget-friendly solutions. By blending cutting-edge AI with a deep understanding of our client’s needs, we delivered a program that didn’t just meet expectations—it exceeded them, fast and affordably.
