HostAureaHostAurea vs generic software
Software that doesn't know what a night is
Accounting systems or CRMs adapted to hotels with expensive customisations: they work until you need planning, cleaning or RevPAR.
| HostAurea | generic software | |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline planning | Native, with anti-double constraint | To build with customisations |
| Housekeeping | Tasks, states and field app included | Missing: back to the phone |
| Seasonal rates | Native lists, plans and restrictions | Item lists adapted with effort |
| Tourist tax | Computed night by night with exemptions | Manual line every time |
| RevPAR and pickup | Ready hotel reports | To develop bespoke |
| True cost | Tailored quote, all included | Licence + customisations + consulting |
The verdict
Generic software makes sense if you already use it for accounting and warehouse: keep it for that. For hotel operations — planning, floors, rates — a vertical like HostAurea costs less than adapting the ERP.

What about famous international PMSs?
They're built for chains with dedicated revenue managers. HostAurea is built for independent properties that want simplicity.
