Sound familiar?

The admin behind the stay is a lot of admin

On a quiet week it's manageable. Then a wedding weekend brings 150 guests, and every question, extension and payment lands on the same few people.

  • Bookings by email and calendar inviteEvery booking or extension means a profile, an invoice and a calendar "meeting request" as a placeholder.
  • Payments chased by handInternational transfers are hard to track, so guests "pay at the farm", and on a busy weekend some of that money is never collected.
  • 60 WhatsApps and someone gets missedMessages arrive on personal phones. One missed reply and a guest feels ignored.
  • Guests arrive with no room assignmentNames weren't captured at booking, so the gate and reception can't tell guests where they're staying.
  • An outage turns into 150 complaintsThe power goes off and every guest messages at once, while the team is across the property starting generators.
  • The coordinator is the relay for everything"No hot water in unit 3" goes through one person's phone before it reaches maintenance.
The wedding day is personal. The admin behind it should be structured. AdaptCRM handles bookings, payments and information, so your team can focus on the guest.

Your booking rules

Set a minimum lead time, how far ahead people can book, and limits per unit.

Ask what matters for each unit, like a platter on arrival or catering preferences.

Online payment secures the booking, so nobody has to follow up "pay on arrival" arrangements.

Questions

Good to know before you start

Can we keep our existing WhatsApp number?

AdaptCRM uses the official WhatsApp Business API. In South Africa a number on the API can't also be used in the WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app, so most venues use a new number for AdaptCRM. A landline can also work. We handle the setup and Meta's business verification with you.

Why do some messages need to be approved?

WhatsApp requires businesses to use pre-approved templates when they message a guest first. That protects guests from spam. Once a guest replies, your team can chat freely for 24 hours. We prepare and submit your templates during setup.

How many staff can use it?

There is no limit on users. Everyone can install the app and answer from the same number, and the team can see who has replied.

Does sending WhatsApp messages cost extra?

Meta charges a small fee for template messages a business sends first. Replies within a guest's 24-hour window are free. We'll estimate your monthly messaging costs before you start.

Will the booking page look like our brand?

Yes. The booking page, confirmations and emails use your name, logo, photos and unit information.
