Our work · Case study
Satori: building an integrated hospitality technology ecosystem.
An end-to-end software ecosystem developed for a hospitality business, connecting operations, reservations, customer management and guest experiences.
- Hospitality, multiple properties on Koh Phangan, Thailand
- Technology leadership, architecture, software development and integrations
- In-house: our founder, Elad Elizov, is Satori’s CTO and partner
- Live in production

The context
Satori operates several hospitality properties and a separate investment and villa-sales operation. Each part of the business has its own customers, workflows and data.
The challenge
Customers, reservations, guest communication and investment leads were spread across different systems, email and spreadsheets. Information had to be moved by hand, and no single place showed what was happening.
The solution: one ecosystem, several products.
Rather than one oversized system, we built focused applications around a shared foundation — each designed for the people who use it, and connected where data needs to flow.
Guest app
A web app each guest opens from a personal link. It’s connected to live reservation data and replaces ad-hoc messages with structured flows before arrival, during the stay and after checkout.
Investment platform and CRM
A purpose-built system for the investment side of the business: leads, opportunities, investor profiles, the villa sales pipeline and documents, with portal access for investors.
Internal admin hub
One place for internal operations — the tools, brand assets and administrative workflows the team uses every day — instead of a scattered set of apps and documents.
These two systems are private, so their screens aren’t shown: they contain guest, investor and business data.
How it connects
The property management system remains the source of truth for reservations. Our applications read from it, add the workflows it doesn’t cover, and keep communication consistent.

Confirmations and updates
Integration. Availability, booking and reservation data come from the Cloudbeds API, so staff don’t re-enter it. Our Cloudbeds integration work
Shared foundations. The applications share a modern web stack — Next.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL — with transactional email across products.
Ownership. Every product is deployed on managed cloud hosting with separate environments, documented integrations and accounts held by the business.
Key decisions
The technical choices that shaped the ecosystem, and why.
- The PMS stays the source of truth
- Reservations live in Cloudbeds. Our applications read from it through its API and add what it doesn’t cover, instead of keeping a second copy of the booking data that could drift.
- Separate products, shared foundations
- The booking site, guest app, investor CRM and admin hub each serve a different audience, so they’re separate applications — on one stack, with shared conventions, so they’re cheaper to maintain together.
- No app-store download for guests
- Guests open the guest app from a personal link in the browser. Nothing to install means more guests actually use it.
- Private systems stay private
- The investor CRM and admin hub hold guest, investor and business data, so they sit behind sign-in, and their screens aren’t published here.
Scope and technology
- Direct-booking website, guest app, investment platform and CRM, internal admin hub
- Cloudbeds API (availability, bookings and reservation data)
- Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, transactional email
- Managed cloud hosting with separate environments; accounts held by the business
The outcome
What the business can do now that it couldn’t before.
These are capabilities now in use, not measured results. We don’t publish Satori’s revenue or booking figures.
- Connected instead of scattered
- Booking, guest, investment and operations systems share data through defined integrations rather than email threads and spreadsheets.
- An owned booking channel
- Guests can book directly on Satori’s own website, alongside third-party channels.
- Structured guest communication
- Pre-arrival, in-stay and post-stay communication runs through a branded guest app driven by reservation data.
- Pipeline visibility for investment sales
- Investment leads and villa sales are tracked in a system designed for that process, with an investor-facing portal.
