For accommodation
Systems for hotels, guesthouses and dorms: direct bookings, bills that send themselves
A website where guests book and pay a deposit on their own, or a dorm system that records meter readings, issues bills and sends them to tenants on LINE every month. Less paperwork, less commission.
NICH TEC builds systems for small and mid-sized accommodation and dorms: direct-booking websites with an availability calendar and PromptPay deposits, rent and utility billing sent on LINE, and repair requests. If you sell rooms on several booking sites at once, use an off-the-shelf channel manager to keep availability in sync. We build your own website and the parts specific to your property.
What accommodation owners deal with
Commission on every booking
Guests find you on booking sites, and even returning guests cost you commission.
The same questions all day
Any rooms free? How much? Is there parking? One chat at a time.
Dorm bills one room at a time
Meter readings on paper, sums in Excel, and a bill sent to each tenant by hand, every month.
Late rent slips through
Nobody knows which rooms have paid without scrolling through payment slips in chat.
What we can build for accommodation
Direct-booking website
A Thai and English website with room photos, prices, an availability calendar and PromptPay deposits.
Booking back office
The month’s bookings, payment status and free rooms on one page, with a LINE alert for every new booking.
Dorm billing on LINE
Enter meter readings on a phone, let the system apply your rates, and send each tenant a bill with a QR code on LINE.
Payment tracking
See which rooms have paid and which haven’t, and send reminders before and after the due date.
Online repair requests
Guests or tenants report problems with a photo, and staff update the status for everyone to see.
Automatic answers
AI answers questions about availability, prices and directions from your real data, and hands over to staff when needed.
Messages the system sends on LINE go through your LINE Official Account. They count toward its monthly message quota, beyond the free quota LINE charges for a bigger plan, and they reach only people who have added your account as a friend.

Build your own, or buy off the shelf?
We don’t tell every business to build. If something off the shelf does the job, we’ll say so.
When off the shelf is better value
If you sell rooms on several booking sites, an off-the-shelf channel manager and property management system (PMS) is the safest way to prevent double bookings. Dorms that only need billing have affordable monthly dorm software to choose from.
When your own system pays off
Custom fits when you want your own direct-booking website, have your own steps such as tour packages, airport transfers or buildings with different rates, or want several properties in one place.
Timeline and price
A booking website with an availability calendar and back office is usually a medium project, around 6-12 weeks. The price depends on the details, and we estimate it for free after a 30-minute call.
Questions people ask
Can the booking website sync with booking sites?
Yes, through a channel manager that allows integrations, so availability matches everywhere. If you don’t have one yet, we can help you pick one that suits your number of rooms.
Our dorm reads meters by hand. Will it work?
Yes. Staff enter each room’s reading on a phone and the system does the sums. If you have digital meters that can send data, readings can come in automatically.
Does the system know when a tenant pays by QR?
The system creates a QR code for each room’s bill amount. Automatic confirmation needs a bank or payment provider service, which charges fees. Without one, tenants send a slip and staff confirm it in a few seconds.
Can the website be in two languages?
Yes. Thai and English is our default, and other languages can be added if you have the translated content.
