Match roommates and incentives to extend student stays beyond terms.
Builders of shared student accommodation platforms face high churn rates driven by seasonal demand fluctuations in hospitality bookings and short-term student tenancies.
DormExtend facilitates internal roommate matching for off-season extensions, reducing vacancy churn. Operators offer micro-incentives via the platform, tracked for ROI. Integrates with booking systems to auto-propose matches at tenancy end.
