Operations and automation

The day runs without anyone having to remind anyone

A checkout creates a cleaning task. A fault report creates a work order. A laundry request moves through clear steps. Everything is tied to the bed and the guest.

Housekeeping

A bed never returns to sale before approval

Housekeeping staff see their tasks in order on a phone. They start a task, add a photo when required and finish it. A supervisor approves before the bed becomes available.

  1. Needs cleaning
  2. Cleaning
  3. Awaiting inspection
  4. Clean and available
  • An automatic task for every bed after checkout
  • Priority for beds with arrivals today
  • A checklist per room type
  • Tasks reopen if the supervisor does not approve
  • Housekeeping never sees guests' personal data

Laundry

Laundry requests follow a clear path from request to delivery

The guest requests from the portal or front desk logs it. Each step has a time and an owner. The guest can see where their request is.

  1. 01

    Requested

    By the guest or front desk.

  2. 02

    Picked up

    The bag is collected and numbered.

  3. 03

    Washing

    In house or with an outside service.

  4. 04

    Ready

    The guest is notified in the portal.

  5. 05

    Delivered

    Delivery time is recorded.

  • The service price is added to the stay folio before closing
  • Turn the service off in settings and it disappears from the portal
  • Guest notes are kept with the request
  • A full history for every request

Maintenance

A fault report becomes a work order

A guest or staff member reports a fault. It becomes a work order with a priority and an owner. If the fault stops anyone sleeping there, the bed comes off sale.

  • Report from the portal or the console
  • Priority, owner and expected time
  • Before and after photos
  • The bed returns to sale after closing and cleaning
  • Planned maintenance for devices such as battery changes

Tickets

Two separate ticket systems

Guest tickets

Between the guest and your team only.

  • Guests raise a request from the portal
  • Your team replies from the console
  • Every ticket is tied to the reservation and bed
  • No outside chat apps

Support tickets

Between your property and the platform team.

  • Account, settings and device issues
  • Support staff cannot see guest data by default
  • Access to your account needs your permission and expires
  • Every support action is logged

Automation

Simple rules that run on their own

Each rule has a trigger, a condition and an action. Actions come from a fixed list. No custom code ever runs on your data.

  • Every rule is versioned and you can roll back
  • Every run is logged with its result
  • Automatic retries, then a failure list you can see in the console
  • An action never repeats when an event repeats
  • WhenA guest checks out

    ThenCreate a cleaning task for the bed

  • WhenPayment and details are complete before arrival

    ThenPrepare the door code to issue at check-in time

  • WhenA high-priority fault is reported

    ThenTake the bed off sale and alert the supervisor

  • WhenA temporary hold expires

  • WhenA device command stays unknown

    ThenRecheck and alert front desk
