Scaling with Smart Tech: How Mostar Property Management Grew 100% YoY Using PriceLabs and Rentlio

Mostar Property Management (also known as Hit Booker) successfully scaled their operations across the Western Balkans by switching from manual processes to an automated short-term rental operation powered by PriceLabs and Rentlio. This shift helped them boost revenue, minimize errors, and streamline operations—resulting in over 100% year-over-year growth.

About Mostar Property Management

Founded in 2016 in the heart of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mostar Property Management was created to help homeowners generate income from short-term rentals while providing exceptional guest experiences. What started as a local initiative is now a regional leader operating under two brands — Mostar Property Management and Hit Booker — managing over 350 vacation rental units across Bosnia, Montenegro, and Serbia.

Their portfolio spans everything from sleek city apartments to scenic countryside villas, all held to the highest quality standards. As they expand further across the Western Balkans, their mission remains rooted in professionalism, innovation, and results-driven service.

The Challenge: From Manual Work to an Automated Short-Term Rental Operation

In the early days, pricing and booking tasks were handled manually using spreadsheets and direct communication. While manageable with a small portfolio, this approach quickly became unsustainable.

Manual operations led to:

1. Time-consuming workflows
2. Risk of overbookings
3. Missed opportunities for optimized pricing

To scale efficiently, Mostar Property Management needed to shift from manual processes to an automated short-term rental operation that could grow with their portfolio.

While exploring tools to modernize their operations, the team chose Rentlio for property and channel management, and PriceLabs for dynamic pricing for vacation rentals. The integration between the two platforms enabled seamless automation of pricing, calendar synchronization, and operational workflows.
