A dashboard for short-term rental owners
A short-term rental dashboard should show every property’s calendar, the day’s turnovers, open guest messages and a list of repeat guests. It pulls from your booking accounts and email, so you do not retype anything. Westward can build one around how you run your properties.
Talk through your rental business with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your short-term rental to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
Today at a glance
Who checks in, who checks out, which unit needs cleaning first and which message is waiting on you. That is the whole job on most mornings.
Mark which stays need extra care, such as a late arrival or a medical need.
Every property in one view
If you manage several, a single calendar with gaps and overlaps marked saves flipping between accounts. Owners can see occupancy without bothering you.
Show gaps that could be filled with a discount for last-minute guests, and you decide.
Guests who come back
Notes on who stayed, what they liked and when they might return, so rebooking becomes a conversation instead of a cold email.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
At 7 a.m. you see two checkouts, one early arrival and a message about extra towels. You handle all four in ten minutes.
A guest who stayed twice emails about a third visit. Their notes show the room they liked and the dog they bring.
An owner of one of your managed houses asks how the month went. You share a clean view of nights booked and upcoming gaps.

Questions
Does it replace my booking accounts?
No. It reads from them and shows everything in one place.
Who sees my numbers?
You do, and whoever you invite. The accounts stay yours.
Can I give owners a view of their property?
Yes. Owners can see their own calendar and stays without seeing anyone else’s.
