Problem
Furnishing and restocking short-term rentals, boutique hotels, and other hospitality properties involves managing multiple vendors, tracking numerous orders, and securing favorable pricing, creating a fragmented and time-consuming procurement process.

The platform enables users to shop millions of items at insider prices, track orders and deliveries in a single dashboard, and streamline the checkout process. Additionally, Minoan provides a "Showroom" feature, allowing properties to create shoppable spaces for guests, generating passive income through commissions on purchased items. By consolidating the procurement process and offering monetization opportunities, Minoan helps hospitality professionals save time and money while enhancing the guest experience.
