Hotel Asset Management - Specifics and Solutions

Asset Management in Hospitality

Hotels and accommodation facilities manage a specific mix of assets - from room equipment through laundry to gastro equipment. Effective tracking is key to profitability and quality guest service. In this article, we'll show you how proper asset management saves hours of work and helps you stay in control.

What Belongs to Hotel Assets

  • Room equipment: furniture, electronics, textiles, minibars
  • Laundry and cleaning: bed linens, towels, cleaning supplies, cleaning machines
  • Gastronomy: kitchen equipment, dishes, restaurant and bar inventory
  • Common areas: reception, wellness, pool, fitness, conference facilities

Hotel Tracking Challenges

Hotels face specific challenges: high turnover of textiles and small inventory, seasonal occupancy, asset distribution throughout the building and frequent guest damage. Without a system, it's nearly impossible to maintain overview.

How the App Saves Time - Practical Examples

Room Inventory After Check-out

Before: Housekeeper manually checks a list of 47 items, writes in paper form, which is then transcribed to Excel. Time: 15 minutes per room.

With app: Open asset list for the room, go through individual items and confirm they are present and in good condition. Time: 3 minutes per room.

Savings: 12 minutes per room = with 50 rooms daily you save 10 hours of work!

Reporting Damaged Equipment

Before: Housekeeper finds damaged furniture, writes a note, passes to shift manager, who writes in notebook, resolved at end of week. Meanwhile, guest complains.

With app: Housekeeper photographs damage, scans item QR code, records issue in system. Manager receives email notification and can respond before next guest arrives.

Savings: Immediate response instead of days of delay. Fewer complaints, satisfied guests.

Annual Inventory

Before: Team of 5 people, 3 days closed hotel, piles of papers, manual counting, transcription errors. Result: inaccurate list with 10% error rate.

With app: Continuous tracking throughout year, annual inventory = verification by 2 people in 1 day without disrupting operations. Accuracy: 99%+.

Savings: 2 days of team work + zero losses from hotel closure.

Stay in Complete Control

With Asset Manager app you have complete overview of your hotel's status in real-time:

How It Works Technically
