Luxury private rental brand onefinestay has unveiled its first-ever online Partner Portal, signalling a significant shift in how travel advisors can interact with its offerings.
The new portal offers a streamlined booking experience for the 30,000 global travel advisors it collaborates with, giving them access to onefinestay’s portfolio which spans 40 destinations, from New York to Koh Samui.
Now, advisors can search the most up to date availability and pricing, view home details and even create a shortlist of their favourite homes, to share with their clients. They can create either branded or unbranded itineraries and seamlessly transition proposals into bookings with the support of onefinestay’s Destination Specialists. A built-in commission display provides transparency on earnings per booking, streamlining the decision-making process for agents.
“Being able to move quickly is so important when it comes to creating the perfect booking,” said Sophie Howse, Chief Commercial Officer at onefinestay.
“Our new online Partner Portal speeds things up, as well as offering a seamless, self-sufficient process for Travel Advisors. Advisors are such an important part of our business; we hope they enjoy browsing, and booking, our homes with ease.”
The portal’s self-service functionality is designed with speed and ease-of-use in mind. A feedback form is integrated to ensure ongoing improvement based on advisor experiences and suggestions.Becky Robinson, a travel advisor at Departure Lounge, tested the platform ahead of launch. “I love the look of the new onefinestay Partner Portal, and it’s so easy to use,” she said. “It will make searching for homes, villas and chalets much easier and quicker.”
The launch coincides with a wave of new homes being added to onefinestay’s global collection, including properties in Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, the Caribbean, and Thailand.
The Partner Portal is open to all current travel advisors working with onefinestay. Those interested in joining the network are encouraged to visit the Travel Partners page for more information.
