Shelly Group enters the short-term rental market for the very first time
Shelly Group has announced a strategic partnership with Flat Manager, marking its official entry into the short-term rental sector - an industry with more than 6 million active properties worldwide. With this move, Shelly becomes the first company in the segment to establish direct collaboration with both property management companies and PMS (Property Management Software) providers.
First Smart Apartment Equipped in Sofia
The first “smart apartment” in Sofia’s most prestigious area has already been equipped with Shelly Smoke, Shelly Motion, Shelly Button Tough 1, Shelly 1L, Shelly 2L, and Shelly Display x2, as well as a Shelly H&T sensor. A key feature is the Shelly Button Tough 1 installed at the entrance - allowing guests to signal check-out with a single press which optimizes scheduling.
Real Energy and Efficiency Benefits
Shelly introduces a complete portfolio of automation solutions tailored to the needs of short-term rentals - from lighting and HVAC control to safety and energy management. Another innovative integration links the apartment’s air conditioning system to a Shelly Door/Window Sensor.
Building a Scalable Model for Global Growth
“The entry into the short-term rental market is a strategically important step for Shelly. Our partnership with Flat Manager allows us not only to showcase the value of our solutions in a real-world environment but also to develop a model that can be scaled internationally,” said Mirche Atanasovski, Chief Commercial Officer, Shelly Group.
