07 · Holiday let managers

Your changeovers run themselves.

A guest checks out, the cleaner is on the way, and the place is ready for the next arrival, without a call from you.

For the operations manager

Today, without it

  1. A late check-out means a round of calls to move the cleaner.

  2. A cleaner cancels and the changeover is found by ringing round.

  3. Nobody is sure a property is ready until the next guest is at the door.

Try it

Move one check-out

Drag the guest's check-out time earlier or later and watch every clean after it re-plan.

How it runs

Four steps, nobody chasing.

  1. STEP 1

    A check-out time changes and every job that depends on it moves with it.

  2. STEP 2

    The regular cleaner gets first refusal on each changeover.

  3. STEP 3

    If they cannot do it, the job opens to the rest of your cleaners.

  4. STEP 4

    The cleaner marks it done with photos, and the next guest's access goes out.

Your numbers

The hours changeovers take to arrange

Example figures, change them

Every let you arrange changeovers for.

An average across the year is fine.

Messages and calls to book, confirm and check it is done.

Late check-outs, early arrivals, a cleaner dropping out.

Arranging changeovers

24 hours a month

Changeovers a month
120
Of those, changed at short notice
24 a month
Hours across a year
288

The sum

20 properties × 6 changeovers a month = 120 changeovers. 120 × 12 minutes ÷ 60 = 24 hours a month, × 12 = 288 hours a year. 20% of 120 = 24 that change at short notice.

This is arithmetic on your own figures. It is not a promise of results.

Works with what you have

Sits beside your booking calendar and your cleaners' phones.

Every demo on this site runs on made-up data. The real one is built around your phone line, your diary and the software you already use.
