The Opportunity

Problem

Solo founders building hotel booking platforms cannot sync real-time inventory across multiple PMS systems without a dev team.

Solution

PMSLinkr acts as a proxy API aggregating real-time data from multiple PMS into one simple endpoint your booking platform calls. Solo founders paste one API key into their no-code tools like Bubble or Adalo. It normalizes data formats automatically for seamless integration.
