Direct PMS
DIRECT PMS VS CLOUDBEDS

Switching from Cloudbeds to Direct PMS

Cloudbeds is hotel property management software. Direct PMS covers the same ground, plus the business lines Cloudbeds-class tools were never built for — leasing, sales, caretaking and fit-outs on the same registry, ledger and calendar.

Where Direct PMS is different

Hotel-native inventory
WITH DIRECT

Room-type selling with check-in allocation is the core model, not a workaround — overselling is blocked by the database itself.

CLOUDBEDS-CLASS TOOLS

Vacation-rental tools bolt room types onto listings.

Housekeeping is not an afterthought
WITH DIRECT

Turnovers appear at checkout with priority and assignee; same-day back-to-backs stay sellable.

CLOUDBEDS-CLASS TOOLS

A WhatsApp group and a whiteboard.

GST-ready books
WITH DIRECT

Taxes, 30+ currencies and FX-true ledger entries from day one.

CLOUDBEDS-CLASS TOOLS

Export and pray.

What you get that Cloudbeds doesn't cover

Direct PMS runs every business line on one registry — you only subscribe to the modules you use.

Short Term Rentals

Pools are your room types: sell 'Deluxe Double', assign room 204 at the desk. Rate plans carry meal plans and extra-guest pricing; direct bookings are commission-free.

Caretaking

Checkout auto-creates the turnover work order. Housekeeping rosters, attendance and consumable stock (soap below reorder level shows up red) live beside the bookings.

Fitouts

Room refurbishments, quoted per room and invoiced on confirmation.

Leasing

Monthly long-stay rooms on the same calendar.

Property Sales

If the property itself trades, the pipeline is there.
