Everyone enjoys staying in a nice hotel. Some hotels are grander than others, but there are many nice choices in both small and large hotels to attract a loyal customer base. Anyone who works in hotel facility maintenance will agree that maintaining a hotel and keeping it up to par is no easy task.

A saving grace to these types of atrocities in the hotel industry is having efficient facility maintenance software to process work orders in a timely (as in need it done yesterday) manner.

This helps alleviate down time and gets staff to work on room repair and turnaround time asap! The specially designed work order system can be individualized per room and location, and be directed to specific qualified personnel to perform the work. Tracking repair costs, asset expenditures and depreciation is easy. Built-in asset management also helps staff keep track of items and amenities that are provided in the most basic rooms to the grand suites.
