Resort guest app
Mobile check-in, digital keys where the lock vendor supports them, cabana and spa booking, and chat with the front desk in English or Spanish, all connected to the property management system.
Join.To.IT is a mobile app development company that works with Miami businesses remotely, often on apps that need English and Spanish from launch day. We build for hotels, condo developers, clinics and companies selling into Latin America, where an app has to handle guests, deposits and two languages.
A Miami app usually serves people who are not from Miami. Hotel guests fly in for a week. Cruise passengers pass through PortMiami. Condo buyers from Latin America or the Northeast tour a sales center once and then decide from home. Spanish is everywhere in daily business, so an English-only app leaves out a big part of the people you want to reach. The app also has to make sense to someone using it for the first time on a short trip.
In practice we put every string in translation files from the first sprint and design screens that hold longer Spanish labels without breaking. Store listings are written in both languages. For hospitality and real estate the hard part is usually the link to the property management system, the CRM or the deposit process, so we check those APIs during discovery. We also schedule big releases away from the winter high season, when a broken booking flow costs the most.
Mobile check-in, digital keys where the lock vendor supports them, cabana and spa booking, and chat with the front desk in English or Spanish, all connected to the property management system.
Floor plans, live unit availability and reservation deposits for a developer and its broker network, plus a document area and deposit schedule that buyers abroad can follow without calling the sales office.
Sign-up with identity checks, saved recipients and transfers to Latin American countries through a licensed money transmitter partner, for a fintech startup testing one corridor before adding more.
Packages are fixed-price, and Spanish localization is planned into the scope from the start. Work outside a package runs at $25–50 per hour.

Our engineers keep U.S. business hours, so Miami teams reach them during their own working day on Eastern time. Spanish copy goes to your team or your translator for review before each release, and in high season we agree in advance who fixes a booking bug the same day.
Our U.S. operations are facilitated through Orcatec LLC, our trusted American business partner, enabling seamless collaboration with clients across the United States.
Yes. All text lives in translation files from the first sprint, screens are designed for longer Spanish labels, and dates, prices and phone numbers follow each locale. Your staff edit content in both languages from the admin panel without a new release. We ask you or your translator to review the Spanish copy before launch.
Usually, if the PMS has an API or an integration marketplace. We check yours in discovery and confirm what is possible: reservations, guest profiles, folio charges, door keys. Where there is no API, we start with a simpler flow, such as guest requests that land with the front desk, and keep the integration for a later phase.
Yes. A typical app shows floor plans and live unit availability, lets brokers place a hold, and walks buyers through the deposit schedule and documents. It connects to your CRM so the sales team sees the same data. Escrow and contract terms stay with your attorneys; the app tracks each step and reminds buyers when a deposit is due.
We build the app and backend, and the money moves through a licensed partner such as a money transmitter or a banking-as-a-service provider. The app covers identity checks, recipients, exchange-rate display and transaction history. Licensing and compliance decisions stay with you and your counsel. We build to their requirements and keep audit logs from the start.
The biggest cost drivers are integrations with booking, property or CRM systems, payments and deposits, and the second language. A proof of concept starts at $2,400, an MVP at $9,600, a market-ready app at $24,000 and an enterprise platform at $48,000. The rate behind those packages is $25–50 per hour.
