Switch by Rental Bridge provides a platform that links short‑term rental properties to hotel‑style distribution channels, enabling property managers to sell inventory through tour operators and other wholesale systems. Using AI, it normalizes data from any PMS and creates clean, bookable inventory in weeks rather than months, giving access to a market that accounts for half of all travel bookings. The service currently supports over 10,000 short‑term rentals.

Problem
Short‑term rental managers cannot reach hotel‑style distribution channels such as tour operators because their property‑management systems (PMS) produce fragmented data and lack standard integrations, leading to stale rates, availability mismatches, and costly custom development.
Solution
Switch provides an AI‑driven integration layer that connects virtually any PMS to any hotel‑focused booking platform or wholesaler within weeks. The platform normalizes disparate PMS data into a single, clean inventory feed, synchronizing rates and availability in real time across dozens of distribution channels. By automating the data transformation and API mapping, Switch eliminates the need for expensive custom integrations and reduces the risk of booking errors. Property managers can therefore list their short‑term rentals alongside hotels, accessing the travel‑booking market that accounts for roughly half of all bookings. The solution is delivered as a hosted service that requires no on‑premise software and scales with the number of connected properties.
