World Village

World Village is a SaaS startup founded in 2011 and based in the United States. It offers a disruptive B2B cloud-based platform that provides an open and modular approach for vacation rental companies (VRC’s) to automate and run their online rental businesses. The company's product is a cloud-based SaaS software that enables vacation rental companies to scale their business autonomously by managing time-consuming yet routine tasks of property, data, and customer management. World Village stands out from other Online Booking & Property Management Systems (PMS) by providing VRC's with easy-to-use tools, including a custom WordPress Plugin, to create their own custom websites integrated with online booking and direct pay merchant accounts. Additionally, the platform offers features such as automated emails, calendar updates, multilevel user accounts, real-time reservation analytics data, and multi-currency and multi-language support, providing a complete end-to-end user flow for the customer booking experience. Moreover, World Village reduces customer complexity by exposing its APIs and webhooks for integration with robust add-on solutions, such as channel partners, accounting, yield management, and customer relationship software. The company's business model includes a flat fee pay-per-booking option or a subscription-based monthly fee, with no long-term contracts or setup fees, and a 30-day free trial. The company is aiming to follow the path of best-of-breed products such as Docusign, Zendesk, and Marketo, which are evidence of disruptive fully integrated enterprise solutions. Additionally, it aligns with the trend seen in B2B startups such as Stripe, MailChimp, and GitHub, which expose their APIs and webhooks for integration into larger solutions.
