Some operators adapt to the systems available. Jim decided to build the one he knew was missing. 💡
In this episode, Jim DeVos, industry veteran and former co-owner of Best Beach Getaways, joins us for the first public reveal of VR Works, the backend platform he created after years of hitting the same operational roadblocks most operators know all too well.
He shares how VR Works evolved from a private internal tool into a fully integrated system, the efficiencies that nearly doubled their profit, and why an operator-first perspective changes the entire conversation about what a PMS should be.
We cover:
1️⃣ The operational challenges that sparked VR Works
2️⃣ The specific efficiencies that nearly doubled their net profit
3️⃣ Why an operator-first mindset shaped every design choice
4️⃣ Reducing migration pain through smarter data import and onboarding
5️⃣ Why he’s introducing VR Works now
6️⃣ Updates on Swanky Vacay and his continued operator journey
If you’re curious how seasoned operators who have lived every operational pain point design systems that make teams faster, owners happier, and scaling far less chaotic, this conversation is a must listen.
