Do I need to replace Guesty to use Cendra?

No. Cendra is designed to work alongside your existing PMS. Guesty and 50+ other PMSs integrate natively with Cendra. Your PMS handles bookings and calendar; Cendra handles automation and orchestration.

Are these add-on tools mutually exclusive?

Not necessarily. Some operators use Cendra for orchestration alongside specialized tools for specific tasks. However, Cendra often replaces the need for multiple point solutions since it handles messaging, ops workflows, and escalations in one platform.

Is Cendra just a chatbot?

No. Cendra is an end-to-end digital teammate—an 'Invisible GM' that coordinates guest communication, operations workflows, escalations, and follow-ups. A chatbot just responds to messages; Cendra orchestrates the entire workflow from inquiry to task completion.

What is automation-rate pricing?

Unlike per-listing or per-message pricing, Cendra's pricing is tied to your automation rate. As we help you automate more of your operations, you get better value—your savings and revenue grow faster than your costs, so your ROI increases with every step up in automation. This aligns our incentives: we only succeed when your automation improves.

How long does onboarding typically take?

Cendra is live on Day 1. Connect your PMS in minutes, validate your listing info and tell me which issues to handle autonomously, then watch issues auto-resolve. While competitors spend weeks training staff, I sync your messages, policies, and brand tone in hours—not weeks.

Can I control what the AI says to guests?

Absolutely. Cendra uses customizable policies, guardrails, and brand voice settings. You define what the AI can and cannot say, set escalation triggers, and maintain full control over guest communications.

What if something goes wrong at 2am?

We operate across European and American time zones, providing 24/7 support coverage. Our team understands operations because we're operators ourselves. When something breaks, we respond fast.

Which PMS integrations does Cendra support?

Cendra integrates with 50+ property management systems including Guesty, Lodgify, Hostfully, Cloudbeds, and many more. We also support communication channels like WhatsApp, email, and SMS, plus payment processing via Stripe.

Unsere Gründer

Von Betreibern für Betreiber entwickelt

Cendra wurde nicht im luftleeren Raum entwickelt. Unsere Gründer haben das operative Chaos erlebt und gebaut, was sie sich gewünscht hätten.

Can Koseoglu

Mitgründer & CEO

Ich betrieb 60 Wohnungen in zwei Städten mit nur 1 Support-Mitarbeiter—und nutzte Cendra intern, bevor wir es jemals gestartet haben. Das ist keine Marketing-Behauptung; so haben wir jeden Workflow stressgetestet.

Mumin Sahin

Mitgründer & Lead Engineer

Ich baue die Systeme, auf die Hospitality-Teams rund um die Uhr angewiesen sind. Wenn Betreiber skalieren, muss die Plattform nahtlos mithalten—Zuverlässigkeit und Leistung sind meine Obsession.

Ali Ozaltin

Mitgründer & CTO

Ich entwerfe die Integrationen und KI-Systeme, die Cendra mit jedem PMS und Kanal verbinden. Mein Ziel: Betreiber verbringen weniger Zeit mit technischen Problemen und mehr Zeit damit, ihr Geschäft zu vergrößern.

Entwickelt von Betreibern und Ingenieuren, die von 1 Immobilie auf Tausende von Inseraten skaliert haben.
