A Quick Start Guide to Listing Properties in AltoCore
The intuitive step-by-step process is designed so that even first-time users can quickly create and manage property listings. Follow this simple guide to get your property listed and ready for sourcing in minutes.
Step 1: Start by Adding a New Property
- Go to your Property Portfolio or Hosing Request page.
- Click the “Add New Property” button to start the process
- Choose if you want to create a single-unit or multi-unit property
Tip: Head over to your property portfolio and start by adding a property that has not been added to your portfolio yet.
Step 2: Property Details – Get the basics right
- Property Name – Give your property a clear and recognisable name
- Address – Ensure the full address is listed correctly so guests know how to find it
- Property Type – Is it a serviced apartment, hotel, or another accommodation type? Select the right category.
- Core Inventory – Mark whether this property is part of your core inventory. These are properties you own or manage rather than sourcing them from third parties.
- Check-in & Check-out times – Set clear times for smooth arrivals and departures.
Tip: Corporate bookers appreciate clarity. Make sure this information is accurate to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.
Step 3: Amenities – Showcase What Makes Your Property Special
The right amenities can make all the difference when corporate clients are selecting accommodations. We’ve streamlined how amenities are managed in AltoCore making it easier to showcase your property’s best features.
- Create customised room configurations – Define different layouts for various unit types by adding bedrooms, kitchens and living rooms
- Add relevant amenities – Whether it’s high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen or an on-site gym you can search all available amenities.
Tip: Corporate clients often have specific requirements, such as a workspace, parking or laundry facilities. By clearly listing your amenities you increase your chances of being shortlisted.
Step 4: Unit Details – Customise Your Listing
Provide more details about the space:
- Room Configurations – Select the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Occupancy – Define the standard and maximum number of guests allowed.
- Total Unit Size – Specify the total size of the unit.
Tip: Clearly defining room configurations helps set the right expectations, giving bookers more confidence in choosing your property.
Step 5: Set Rates – Make Pricing Clear
Pricing plays a crucial role in securing corporate bookings, AltoCore makes it easy to stay competitive.
- Base Rate – Set the standard pricing for your property.
- Flexible Adjustments – Update pricing anytime to reflect market trends or business needs.
Tip: Adjust your pricing during the bidding process to optimise your chances of winning requests.
Step 6: Upload High-Quality Photos – First Impressions Count
Adding photos is simple:
- Bulk Image Uploads – Quickly add multiple photos.
- Drag-and-Drop Sorting – Rearrange photos easily into your preferred order.
- Showcase Key Areas – Include exteriors, interiors, key amenities and living spaces.
Tip: Aim for at least six high-resolution images that highlight your property’s best features. Professional-looking photos significantly increase booking chances.
Step 7: Add Contact Details – Know Who To Contact
Ensuring booking managers can easily reach the right person is crucial for smooth operations. AltoCore makes it simple to manage contact details and keep them up to date.
- Select & Update Contact Profiles – Assign or change contact profiles for your property.
- Add New Contacts – Create new profiles if a contact is missing.
Tip: Keep your contact details updated to avoid delays in communication.
Step 8: Review – The Final Check
