1. Customer requests management: “Do Not Disturb”, “Clean Room” and “Do Not Clean Room”

When a guest requests not to be disturbed, to have the room cleaned or not to have the room cleaned, it is necessary that all hotel staff who have to perform any task in the room are properly informed of this.

2. Person-in-room” functionality in all modules.

In hotels that have an integration with the home automation system, the sensors detect the presence of a person in the room, and this information is displayed in the different modules of HMobile Staff. (More information about integrations can be found at: https://www.hmobile.es/en/integrations/)

1. ROOM STATUS

So that housekeepers and chambermaids can know before they enter the room or decide which room to clean next.

7. Take into account the change of bed linen when calculating the allocation of rooms.

As you know, Hmobile allows you to automatically control which rooms require linen change and which do not. Now, in addition, the Planning module allows you to define the additional time required for the change of sheets, so that this time is taken into account in the allocation of rooms to maids and in the time calculations in the reports. For a more accurate and fairer allocation.

Here are the steps to follow:

Open: Room Status > Job distribution > Settings > Credits Choose the type of room you want. Add the bed linen change time for that room type. Time will be taken into account when allocating rooms.

8. Improvements in automatic room allocation.

At HMobile we know that agility and flexibility when it comes to daily cleaning allocation are essential. Therefore, in order to increase the flexibility of our tool, our planning module allows to perform the self-assignment based on “Section names” in addition to “Room names”. That way you can assign nearby rooms even if the name is not “nearby”.

Assign for entire sections: Each chambermaid will be assigned full sections until her available credits are filled.
Assign by room name: Each chambermaid will be assigned consecutive rooms until her available credits are filled.
Assign sorting by section/room: Each chambermaid will be assigned consecutive rooms until her available credits are filled.
