Tell us your property size, current PMS, and what your housekeeping team and revenue manager need. We'll scope the right tools and give you a fixed cost.
Housekeeping status running on WhatsApp, paper room lists, or phone calls between supervisors and the front desk?
Maintenance faults raised by housekeeping staff with no formal process, no photo evidence, and no resolution tracking?
Pricing decisions made weekly from a spreadsheet rather than daily from occupancy pace, competitor rates, and pickup data?
Rate updates going out to Booking.com and Expedia hours apart because the channel manager sync is manual or scheduled rather than triggered?
Housekeeping mobile apps and revenue management tools built for hotels -- room status connected to the PMS, inspection checklists, maintenance fault reporting, dynamic pricing rules, and rate parity across OTAs.
Both tools share the same purpose: real-time operational data that lets the hotel act on what is happening now rather than what the paper log or the channel manager's overnight batch said this morning.
Mobile housekeeping app with room assignment, real-time status updates, and PMS sync
Inspection checklists with photo capture and defect resolution tracking
Maintenance fault reporting from housekeeping direct to the maintenance team
Dynamic pricing rules and competitor rate monitoring for the revenue manager
RaftLabs builds hotel housekeeping mobile apps and revenue management tools. The hotel housekeeping software gives cleaning staff room assignments, real-time status updates (dirty, in progress, clean, inspected), inspection checklists, lost property logging, and maintenance fault reporting with photos -- all connected to the PMS so the front desk sees room readiness without calling the supervisor. The revenue management tools cover dynamic pricing rules, competitor rate monitoring, pickup pace reports, and two-way channel manager integration for rate and availability parity across OTAs. Most housekeeping and revenue management projects deliver in 10--14 weeks at a fixed cost.
Most hotels manage housekeeping on a combination of printed room lists distributed at the morning briefing, phone calls between the supervisor and the front desk when a room is ready, and WhatsApp groups for anything urgent. The front desk knows a room is ready when someone calls to say so. If the housekeeper is on a different floor and the supervisor is dealing with a guest complaint, that call doesn't happen, and the guest waits longer than they need to.
A housekeeping mobile app connects the housekeeper's phone directly to the PMS. When the room is marked clean in the app, the front desk dashboard updates in real time -- no call required. Maintenance faults raised in the app route directly to the maintenance team with a photo attached. Inspection checklists create a quality record that paper never could. On the revenue side, dynamic pricing tools give the revenue manager the rate recommendations and competitor data they need to price each night accurately, with channel manager integration that pushes changes across OTAs immediately rather than on the next scheduled batch.
Daily room assignment to housekeeping staff based on zone and priority -- departures are assigned first so those rooms are ready for early check-ins, followed by stayovers in order of checkout time where applicable. Each housekeeper's task list is visible on their mobile device at the start of shift and updates in real time as priorities change. The supervisor dashboard shows completion status across all assigned rooms and staff. Reassignment is done in the supervisor app when a housekeeper finishes their zone early or calls in sick, without reprinting room lists or sending WhatsApp messages.
Housekeeper marks each room through its status sequence in the mobile app -- dirty, in progress, clean, and inspected where a supervisor sign-off is required. Each status change updates the PMS room status in real time, which means the front desk can see which rooms are ready to assign to incoming guests without calling the housekeeping supervisor. Rooms that are clean but not yet inspected are held from early check-in assignment until inspection is confirmed. The front desk view shows a live colour-coded floor plan with room status, priority flags for VIP arrivals, and notes from the housekeeper about room condition.
Configurable checklist per room type -- standard room, suite, serviced apartment -- with inspection categories covering cleanliness, amenities, linens, bathroom, fixtures, and in-room technology. Inspector works through the checklist on their device, marks each item pass or fail, and captures a photo for any item that fails. Failed items create a defect record that tracks through resolution -- assigned to housekeeping or maintenance, resolved, and re-inspected. Historical inspection scores by room, housekeeper, and inspection period give the executive housekeeper a quality trend without manual auditing.
When a housekeeper finds a maintenance issue -- broken fixture, failed in-room technology, plumbing fault, damaged furniture -- they raise a maintenance request in the app with a photo and a fault description. The request routes directly to the maintenance team's task list, with priority set by the supervisor based on whether the fault prevents the room from being sold. Maintenance team members update the request status as they work through it -- acknowledged, in progress, resolved. Both the housekeeping supervisor and the front desk can see open faults and their resolution status without calling the maintenance manager.
Rate recommendations generated daily based on current occupancy against pace, historical pickup patterns for the same period in prior years, competitor rate positioning, and events or demand signals in the market. Pricing rules engine allows the revenue manager to define automated rate adjustments within approved parameters -- for example, increase rates by 15% when occupancy crosses 80% with more than 10 days to arrival, or drop rates by 10% when pickup is tracking 20% below pace at 7 days out. Manual override available at any point. Pickup pace reports showing reservations on-hand by arrival date, compared to the same point last year and against the budget.
Two-way integration with your channel manager -- SiteMinder, RateGain, D-Edge -- for rate and availability updates across Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and direct booking simultaneously. When the revenue manager changes a rate or closes availability in the system, the update pushes to all connected channels immediately rather than waiting for a scheduled sync. Rate parity monitoring alerts the revenue manager when a channel is displaying a rate that differs from the configured rate -- either from a channel error or a rate override that wasn't applied consistently. Last-room availability management controls which channels can see and sell the final available rooms in a room category.
Frequently asked questions
The housekeeping app writes status changes directly to the PMS via API. When a housekeeper marks a room as clean or inspected in the app, the PMS room status updates within seconds -- the same status field that the front desk uses to assign rooms to incoming guests. This means the front desk sees the updated status in their normal PMS interface without any additional tool or manual step. The integration is built against the specific PMS at the property -- Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, and similar platforms all expose room status APIs. Where the PMS API doesn't support real-time status writes, we build a middleware layer that syncs at short intervals and surfaces the status in a separate front desk dashboard alongside the PMS data.
The housekeeping app can route maintenance requests to whatever system the property already uses. If the maintenance team uses a standalone maintenance management tool -- HotSOS, Alice, Quore, or similar -- we build an outbound integration that creates the work order in that system from the housekeeping app. If the property has no formal maintenance system, we include a lightweight maintenance task management module in the build, giving the maintenance team a mobile app to receive and update requests without a separate subscription. For properties with simple requirements, maintenance requests can also be routed via email or push notification to a supervisor phone, with status updates handled in the app rather than through a third-party tool.
RateGain and Duetto are sophisticated revenue management platforms with their own pricing models, interfaces, and learning curves. They are the right answer for large properties and hotel groups with dedicated revenue management teams who can operate those platforms at full capability. Custom revenue management tools make sense in different situations: when the hotel needs pricing logic tied to operational data that third-party platforms don't have access to -- such as housekeeping room readiness or in-house event bookings -- or when the property's pricing rules are specific enough that a general platform's recommendation engine doesn't reflect how the revenue manager actually prices. We also build custom tools for hotel groups that want consolidated pickup and pacing data across properties, presented in a single view rather than across multiple platform logins.
A housekeeping mobile app covering room assignment, real-time status updates, inspection checklists, and maintenance fault reporting with PMS integration typically runs $25,000--$55,000. A revenue management tool covering dynamic pricing rules, pickup pace reporting, and channel manager integration typically runs $30,000--$65,000. Building both as a connected system with shared operational data typically runs $50,000--$110,000, with savings from shared PMS integration and a single admin interface. Cost depends on PMS integration complexity, the number of properties, channel manager connections required, and the depth of pricing rules logic. Delivery is typically 10--14 weeks for a single-property build. We scope every project before pricing -- contact us with your property setup and what your current tools can't do.
