Stay Sidekick is a full-stack multi-tenant satellite layer for vacation rental operations teams. It sits alongside your existing Property Management System (PMS) — such as Smoobu, Beds24, or KrossBooking — and automates the repetitive daily tasks that PMS tools handle poorly or not at all.Documentation Index
