An independent shop for hosts already running on Lodgify.
Blastnes is a five-person team in the 4ᵉ arrondissement of Paris. We are not affiliated with Lodgify GmbH — we build and sell twelve add-on modules that plug into the Lodgify Public API for hosts and property managers who want a bit more than what ships in the box.
How we got here
Blastnes was founded in April 2021 by Camille Fournier (CEO) and Lucas Bernard (CTO), both formerly at a Paris-based short-stay operator running about 60 apartments on Lodgify. The pattern was always the same — Lodgify handled the core (site, calendar, channel sync, guest inbox) beautifully, but every three months the operations team would ask for one more thing: an autopricer, a cleaning dispatch, a proper OTA reconciliation. Rather than keep asking Lodgify to prioritise every feature, we started building the layer that sits alongside.
By the end of 2022 we had four modules in production, all serving our former employer. In 2023 we spun the modules out as Blastnes, a standalone SAS, and opened the catalogue to any host with a Lodgify Public API token. Today twelve modules run in production for around 340 hosts across France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the wider EU — from single-villa owners to portfolios of 200+ units.

What we believe
Lodgify is a genuinely good vacation rental platform. Our job is not to replace it — our job is to add the specific things a growing host needs to keep growing, without rewriting the core of the business. Every module is an opinion about a specific operational problem; every module can be turned off with one click. Nothing here is a platform lock-in.
