ResNexus was one of the first to develop an availability component so that individual properties could share their inventory on their local association websites. ResNexus has once again elevated the hospitality industry by providing all association members with a website for their individual properties and a website for the association. In addition, ResNexus provides a website for the association for only $100 per month.
