The Challenge
A local Property Management company based in Maastricht, Netherlands, faced an unprecedented challenge when a long-time client approached they with a complex international request. The client, embarking on a large-scale project, required serviced apartments not only in Maastricht but also 20 units in Madrid, Spain, and 10 units in Porto, Portugal. While the property manager had extensive experience in the local market, this new demand required them to navigate unfamiliar territories in Spain and Portugal, where the company lacked the necessary contacts and expertise. The pressure was on to maintain its reputation as a reliable provider of Serviced Apartments while expanding services to meet its clients growing needs.
The complexity of the situation was heightened by the necessity to coordinate logistics across multiple countries, each with its own unique market conditions, regulations, and client expectations. The property manager needed a solution that would allow the company to seamlessly manage this international expansion without compromising on service quality or efficiency. Additionally, they had to ensure that the transition from local to international operations was smooth and that its client’s requirements were met with the same level of care and precision that had earned them their trust over the years.
The Solution
Understanding the gravity of the challenge, Apartool stepped in to offer a comprehensive solution that would not only address the immediate needs of the property manager but also empower them to scale his operations internationally. Apartool provided the property manager with access to your corporate accommodation platform l, a powerful tool designed to simplify the process of managing serviced apartments across the globe.
Through the portal, the property manager gained direct access to Apartool’s extensive portfolio of serviced apartments in both Spain and Portugal. This platform allowed them to easily search for available units, filter results based on specific requirements, and obtain real-time quotes. Moreover, the portal’s user-friendly interface enabled the Property Manager to set precise check-in and check-out dates for each reservation, ensuring that all bookings were perfectly aligned with its client’s project timelines.
Apartool’s client portal also provided the property management company with detailed property information, including high-quality images, location maps, and a breakdown of available amenities, allowing them to make informed decisions quickly. The portal’s integrated communication tools enabled him to directly coordinate with local property managers in Madrid and Porto, ensuring that any specific client requests were met with precision. This not only streamlined the entire process but also eliminated the need for the property manager to independently establish a network in these new markets, saving him both time and resources.
Additionally, Apartool’s dedicated customer support team was available to assist the property management company at every step, offering guidance on market trends, pricing strategies, and compliance with local regulations. This support ensured that they could offer its client competitive rates and secure mid-term accommodation that met all of their expectations.

As a result, the property manager successfully secured the necessary accommodations in both Madrid and Porto, providing its client with a seamless experience across all locations involved in the project. The ability to offer a comprehensive solution across multiple countries not only fulfilled the client's immediate needs but also opened up new opportunities for future collaborations on an international scale.
