Operations suite

One operating system, with modules sized to the work

This is not a replacement for a Google Workspace seat. Email, documents, calendars, and meetings can stay in Google Workspace while this system coordinates requests, estimates, work orders, schedules, field records, approvals, invoices, payments, reporting, and specialized automation. GPT usage is billed at actual provider cost under a budget you approve; no founding markup is added. Choose one monthly care tier: Managed Workspace and Operations Partner replace the $249 Base Workspace monthly tier rather than stacking on top of it.

The operating foundation for one business.

  • $1,500 one-time launch

  • Data condition and license notes

Hotel booking and operations

Quote the hotel, interfaces, and support path together

The Relay Hotel Suite has a published starting package above. Readiness work, provider interfaces, hardware, launch-pilot details, and managed support remain custom-scoped because each property has different PMS contracts, access, and staff coverage.

Hotel Systems Readiness

Custom quote

Map the property's PMS, direct OTA accounts, room and rate structure, Windows environment, and approval gates before live access.

  • Provider and PMS capability matrix
  • Inventory and rate mapping plan
  • Security, recovery, and launch recommendation
Request readiness scope

Relay Launch Pilot

Custom quote

Configure one property after the required provider and PMS permissions are approved, then operate a controlled pilot with visible reconciliation.

  • Approved direct channel and PMS connections
  • Windows connector installation and monitored sync
  • Fourteen-day recommendation-only pricing pilot
Plan a launch pilot

Managed Relay Operations

Custom quote

Ongoing monitoring, exception review, release upkeep, and support after a successful property pilot.

  • Channel and connector health monitoring
  • Reconciliation and recovery review
  • Documented support and change windows
Discuss managed operations

Third-party cost boundary

Hotel paid

The hotel pays its PMS licensing, vendor interface or support charges, OTA and payment-provider costs, property hardware, network, email, domain, and other third-party fees. AES implementation, hosting, monitoring, and support are quoted separately.

  • No outside charge is advanced without written approval
  • Vendor contracts stay between the hotel and vendor when required
  • Provider approval is not represented as complete until verified
Review the operating boundary
Price basis

How the launch rates were set

Simple arithmetic, not a fake sale

The standalone launch packages use a $70 out-of-scope rate, 30 percent below the $100 low end of the United States agency ranges used for comparison. Fixed packages also use the low end of published project ranges. The discount does not remove testing, security review, or handoff work. Operations-suite subscriptions use the published units above and are quoted against the actual locations, workflows, agents, sites, or properties.
