Who it's for
For Businesses
HR managers & finance teams
Your staff travel constantly — for projects, training, client visits. Right now, every booking is a mess of WhatsApp messages, manual approvals, and receipts that show up weeks after check-out.
LODGR gives you one place to book, approve, and see every naira your team spends on accommodation — in real time.
For Hotels & Apartments
Hotels, shortlets & serviced apartments
Corporate guests are your most reliable customers — long stays, repeat bookings, and no haggling. But right now, they're hard to reach without paying OTA commissions or hiring a sales team.
LODGR connects you directly to verified businesses looking for accommodation in your city. List for free and start receiving bookings.
The Problem for Businesses
If any of these sound familiar, you need LODGR.
Bookings happen over calls and WhatsApp. By the time finance gets the receipt, the guest already checked out weeks ago. There is no way to set or enforce a budget.
A staff member needs a room. They message their manager. The manager forwards it. Someone else weighs in. Three days later the room is gone — and there is no record of what was decided.
You have a policy that says rooms must be under a certain rate. But with a manual process, nobody can enforce it. Staff book whatever they want and submit for reimbursement.
What changes with LODGR
LODGR is not a new process to learn. It replaces the broken one you have now.
Finance finds out what accommodation costs when the invoice arrives — weeks after check-out
Live spend dashboard — see every booking, by department and employee, the moment it is made
Approvals happen over WhatsApp. No record of who said yes, when, or why
Every approval is logged with a timestamp, policy check, and approver name — automatic audit trail
Travel policy is ignored because enforcing it manually is impossible
Policy is enforced in the booking flow. Staff see the limit before they pick a room. No surprises.
Booking a room for a colleague involves multiple messages across multiple days
Staff search, pick, submit. Approver gets notified instantly. Room confirmed in under 2 minutes.
Why Lodgr Wins
Consumer travel platforms solve leisure. LODGR solves corporate accommodation — a fundamentally different problem that requires a fundamentally different product.
Platform bookings, walk-ins, WhatsApp staff commands, customer WhatsApp, and offline — all share one live availability count. Zero double bookings, no manual reconciliation.
Most tools update availability in batches. We sync in seconds.
Your hotel staff can BOOK, CONFIRM, CHECK-IN, and CANCEL from a WhatsApp message. No app download, no new login — just the tool your team already uses every day.
Consumer OTAs require apps and dashboards your staff won't adopt.
Policy checks, multi-level approval chains, department budgets, and audit trails are core — not add-ons. Every booking either complies with policy or it doesn't go through.
Consumer platforms have no concept of spend policy or corporate approval workflows.
Hotels get a full property management system at no cost: bookings, check-in/check-out tracking, room availability, revenue charts, and WhatsApp bot — all included.
Most PMSs charge ₦50k–₦200k/month before you've earned a naira.

For Hotels, Shortlets & Serviced Apartments
Corporate guests stay longer, book more predictably, and pay reliably. LODGR connects you to them directly — for free.
There is nothing to pay upfront. Set your rates, list your rooms, and start receiving requests from verified businesses. We only earn a small commission when you do.
Businesses on LODGR have pre-approved budgets and structured processes. No haggling over price, no chasing payment, no last-minute cancellations.
You do not need to learn new software. Send BOOK, CONFIRM, or CANCEL from WhatsApp and every action syncs to your dashboard automatically.
Pricing
Businesses pay a flat monthly fee. Hotels only pay when they earn.
