Right now you can start scheduling the cleaning by assigning a specific person to clean the object, adding tasks to be done along with photos. You will be able to inform the employee about the scheduled cleaning along with the set tasks using a new message template. All in a few clicks. In addition, you can delegate the scheduling of cleaning to any employee, and the employees themselves can communicate through comments to the scheduled tasks.
Until now, users with the cleaning company role have seen all the bookings from the locations they had access to. Now, under Bookings / Cleaning / Scheduling Cleaning, you can select which properties you will schedule cleaning at by selecting the person who will be assigned to prepare the accommodation for a specific booking.
From the booking calendar you will gain the ability to assign a specific person to a reservation, along with the ability to add tasks and photos.
