Gearco is a Cloud Property Management System (CPMS/PMS) designed for True Extended Stay properties, independent hotels, small hotels, motels, B&Bs, housing/vacation rentals, self-storage, and related use cases. The site emphasizes that it has been used by a large number of customers since 1996 and can support properties of different sizes within a single cloud-based system.
In terms of feature coverage, Gearco is more than a traditional front-desk PMS. Its Cloud Reservations module supports OTA, GDS, website bookings, and channel management; Cloud CC handles secure credit card processing; Cloud Paper enables paperless contracts, registration cards, signatures, and ID collection; and the Guest Portal serves guests, companies, and owners. On the operations side, it also includes the Cloud Ops team app, Cloud Communications for centralized front-desk messaging, Wi-Fi Control, inventory management, maintenance tasks, tax tracking, and daily audits. It also offers a number of security-related modules, including Cloud Security, Cloud DNR, and Cloud Spy, which connects the CPMS with video surveillance.
The page only states that Gearco uses Subscription Pricing, but does not disclose specific prices, plan tiers, billing metrics, or whether a free trial is available. For support resources, the site lists Gearco Academy, Gearco TV, Blog, a system status page, phone, email, LinkedIn, and YouTube, suggesting that it has some level of training and operational support. However, service SLAs, implementation fees, and response times are not publicly available.
Its strengths are a clear vertical focus, especially for extended-stay hotels and multi-type rental properties, and a relatively complete operational loop covering front desk, payments, guests, operations, security, and revenue management. Cloud deployment also makes remote management easier. The downside is limited public transparency: pricing, trials, APIs, specific third-party integrations, and compliance certifications are not clearly stated. “Security” and “compliance” are mostly described at the module level, without verifiable standards.
Gearco is better suited to North American-style extended-stay hotels, independent hotel groups, B&Bs, vacation rentals, and property operators that also offer self-storage services. Users in China should pay particular attention to network accessibility, Chinese-language interface availability, cross-border credit card acquiring, tax localization, and customer support time zones. Based on the current public information, it is not possible to determine whether the service can be accessed directly from China, so hands-on testing is recommended before adoption. Comparable options include Cloudbeds, Mews, Hotelogix, Oracle OPERA Cloud, and Stayntouch; domestic alternatives worth watching include Shiji, GreenCloud, and BeyondHost.
