The Opportunity

Problem

Solo founders building hospitality booking apps can't find affordable APIs to integrate with legacy hotel property management systems.

Solution

SyncStay provides plug-and-play SDKs (JS/Python) with hosted connection management, handling auth, retries, and caching for legacy PMS. Devs install npm package, dashboard handles the rest. Affordable for indies scaling from MVP to production.

Target Audience

Solo founders and indie developers building hospitality booking apps
