First of its kind SaaS platform for short-term rental analytics, designed specifically around the guest journey, helps STR hosts understand which of their links and QR codes guests actually use.
Philippines, 2nd Sep 2026 – Touchpoints today announced the public availability of its short-term rental analytics platform that helps short-term rental (STR) hosts understand which of their links and QR codes guests actually use. This first-of-a-kind SaaS platform is purpose-built for the STR market and guest journey analytics. It enables STR property owners to overcome limitations in existing tools, such as URL shorteners, and understand exactly which of their links and QR codes guests actually scan or click. The company also announced a limited Founding Member Program for short-term rental hosts
“Every short-term rental host I have talked to has links and QR codes spread across five or six different channels,” said Jawo Gabion, Founder of Touchpoints. “But, if you ask them which one actually drives bookings or reviews, they are guessing. Touchpoints gives hosts a simple answer to that question without adding anything new to their workflow. You swap one link for a smarter one, and the numbers start showing up.”
As Gabion further explained, existing tools like Bit.ly and QR code generators have little concept of hospitality and vacation rental marketing. They do not understand what a fridge QR code means in a guest journey, or why a WhatsApp review link performs differently than an in-stay placement. Touchpoints is the first tool to bring that context together in a focused, low-friction package.
Touchpoints is entering a large market. There are approximately 7.7 million STR listings on Airbnb alone. Most STR hosts use multiple channels to promote their properties and engage guests, e.g., social media bios, email signatures, WhatsApp, printed QR codes in their properties, and more. These hosts are sophisticated in how they distribute touchpoints, but completely blind to which ones perform.
The problem is that generic STR host tools and Airbnb host marketing tools track clicks, but provide no property context, placement context, or understanding of in-stay vs. pre-booking vs. post-stay touchpoints. Gabion added, “Most STR hosts simply do not use them. They copy and paste raw OTA links everywhere, with zero tracking.”
Touchpoints solves this problem with touchpoint tracking for hosts. It creates a trackable short link and QR code for every placement a host creates. Each placement is tagged with a property and a placement type, e.g., fridge, welcome book, IG bio, email signature, Booking.com link, or WhatsApp review link. The host swaps their existing link or QR for the tracked version. There is no new behavior required. Touchpoints then displays per-placement scan and click counts in a single list, grouped by property.
The Founding Member Program offers locked-in, permanent pricing, significantly below standard post-launch rates, to the first 100 subscribers on each plan.
Founding Member pricing:
– Host Founder Plan: $5/month or $48/year, covering up to 3 properties and 50 touchpoints with unlimited scans
– Operator Founder Plan: $10/month or $96/year, covering up to 10 properties and 250 touchpoints with unlimited scans
