AndSoul operates wellness-led co-living buildings across London. The idea is simple on the surface: create environments where residents actually connect with each other, and where the building feels like a neighbourhood rather than a block of units. In practice, it is one of the more complex operating models in the residential sector.
The operating model
The ambition goes beyond long-term tenancies. AndSoul wants to serve people at every stage of a London chapter: a week between houses, a month as a digital nomad, a year building roots in a new city. That kind of flexibility is what modern renters increasingly want. It also means running what is effectively two different hospitality businesses under one roof, with one team, and investors expecting the numbers to work.
That is the operational reality that technology has to solve. Legacy property management systems were not built for it. They typically handle either long stays or short stays (not both), and they certainly were not designed with the data visibility that a brand like AndSoul needs to manage service quality, drive occupancy, and demonstrate investor returns.
Technology for every length of stay
Lavanda was built precisely for operators navigating this complexity. OpenPMS connects the commercial and operational layers of flex living: distribution across channels, pricing and revenue management, housekeeping workflows, and the reporting and insights that enable operators to make fast, informed decisions. For AndSoul, that means a single system that supports the full range of stay lengths that their model demands, without adding headcount or operational drag.
The AndSoul team knows exactly where they want to take their brand over the next five to seven years. Lavanda’s job is to ensure that technology is the engine powering that vision, and never the bottleneck to success.
