“The new feature in Flexkeeping was implemented in our Punthill Williamstown property as a trial which has been great! The feature differentiates our bookings and offers different frequencies of services based on their length of stay, allowing our business to manage expenses such as wages & linen. This length of stay can be altered at any time with Flexkeeping’s Support Team should we ever change our length of stay offering.”

Why do I need Automated Cleanings?
With housekeeping staff shortages across the globe and increasing consumer demands for sustainable stays there has been a pressing need for more flexibility and efficiency around cleaning schedules.
This feature aims to create custom and complex cleaning schedules based on many parameters collected from reservation data. Now you can customize your housekeeping schedules based on length of stay, room rate, number of guests, room status or attribute, etc. The possibilities are truly endless!
When you activate Automated Cleanings, you get access to full automation of housekeeping schedules. Your housekeeping managers won't need to waste any more time dealing with algorithm voodoo in case of unpredictable changes, which are an integral part of hospitality. Instead, all rooms can be automatically updated. It's not only your team who benefits from Automated Cleanings; a knock-on effect leads to happier guests who can enjoy a 100% spotless stay.
A smart calendar also shows a matrix of rooms, dates, and types of cleans. Its goal is to help you easily understand your hotel's future cleaning needs and, consequently, the number of housekeepers needed to perform those cleans. The breakdown now also includes all the cleaning types and the amount of credits associated with that particular clean.

“The weekly service override feature was also introduced. Once prompted, it allows us to default our weekly service for bookings that would be scheduled on a Sunday and adjust the schedule to the Friday or Monday, which then applies for the remainder of the stay. Another great feature which will assist with reducing wage costs.”
