Requests trickle in from niche portals and get buried in your inbox.
The niche-portal channel bundles every request into one inbox. Nothing sits unanswered for three days while the contractor books elsewhere.
zimrly for contractor accommodation
Contractor lodging works differently from classic hotels: long stays, weekly and flat rates, bookings via niche portals and corporate clients who need a proper invoice. zimrly fills exactly these gaps on top of your existing software.
What actually slows down workers' lodging operators
Companies want one collective invoice across several weeks and staff, not twenty separate receipts.
The invoicing module creates VAT-compliant invoices automatically and hands them to easybill, lexoffice, sevDesk or QuickBooks — even for long stays.
Nobody mans the door around the clock; workers arrive after their shift.
Self-check-in with a Nuki or Salto lock: the door code goes out automatically via WhatsApp. No key handover at 10 pm.
Thin staffing — usually the operator handles accounting, occupancy and messaging alone.
The WhatsApp inbox with an AI assistant answers standard questions (arrival, parking, Wi-Fi) automatically and only escalates the rest.
No full, expensive PMS — often just a simple tool or a spreadsheet.
zimrly starts with the Start plan at 49 € a month — three plans, you pick the one that fits. No license for features a workers' lodge never uses.
