PMI invests in the future of direct booking and guest experience with WanderOS partnership. By PMI - Monday, June 15, 2026 LEHI, UTAH - Property Management Inc. (PMI), one of the nation's fastest-growing property management franchisors, today announced a new partnership with Wander, the leading travel marketplace for exceptional vacation homes and premium guest experiences. This partnership crucially supports PMI's Short-Term Rental (STR) pillar by equipping franchise partners with tools and technologies that position them for long-term success in the always-evolving vacation rental marketplace. STR operators can now access WanderOS, a modern hospitality technology platform designed to help property managers increase direct bookings, improve marketing performance, and enhance the guest experience. WanderOS has powered more than $75 million in bookings across over 5,000+ properties to date. The platform combines conversion-optimized direct booking websites with automated guest marketing designed to attract more travelers and increase repeat bookings. Equally important, WanderOS helps create seamless guest journeys through modern property pages, optimized checkout experiences, integrated payments, and automated guest communications - capabilities that can improve guest satisfaction while encouraging long-term loyalty. This will provide the bedrock for the next phase of PMI Global Stays, PMI's own online travel agency. "As traveler expectations evolve and competition intensifies, property managers need technology that strengthens their brand, enhances guest experiences, and drives sustainable growth," said Shane Cardon, Executive Director of Short-Term Rentals at PMI. "WanderOS helps us deliver that advantage. By investing in solutions that increase direct bookings, brand ownership, and guest loyalty, PMI is helping franchise owners build more resilient businesses while reinforcing our position as an industry leader."
