Fix It Before the Guest Finds It

Softinn Task turns every reported issue into a tracked work order — raised in seconds from any phone, visible to the whole team, and closed off with a record of what was done.

The Challenges Maintenance Teams Face

Running hotel maintenance is tough when:

Issues get reported by WhatsApp, walkie-talkie and sticky notes — so some never reach the technician at all.

01

Nobody knows what’s outstanding. The chief engineer keeps the list in their head, and it walks out the door on their day off.

02

Mascot

03

A room with a broken aircon gets sold anyway, because the block never made it into the PMS.

04

Front desk keeps chasing maintenance for status updates, and maintenance keeps stopping work to answer.

05

The same room breaks every month, but nobody can prove it — so it gets patched again instead of properly fixed.

How Softinn Helps You Win

Anyone Can Report, In Seconds

A housekeeper finds a leaking tap mid-clean. They log it from their phone, in the room, with the location already filled in. The work order is in the maintenance list before they’ve finished the bathroom.

One Tracking List for the Whole Department

Every open job in one place, with status, assignee and completion date. Your technicians know what’s next; your manager knows what’s outstanding — without a single status-update call.

Block the Room at the Same Time

Choose to close the room while raising the work order, and it stops being sellable straight away. No separate step, no room sold with a dead aircon in it.

See What Keeps Breaking

The room maintenance summary shows room status and recurring issues per room — so you can stop repeating the same repair and start planning the replacement.

Softinn Task module — hotel maintenance work order list

Meet Task — Built for the Technician on the Move

Your technician’s day is a ladder, a toolbox and a walk between floors — not a desk. Task is a mobile-first module built for that: every assigned job, its full history and its photos on one screen, updated from the phone in their pocket.

Task is live at task.mysoftinn.com and runs in any smartphone browser — no app to install, no special hardware.

What Your Team Can Do with Task

Everything maintenance needs to take a job from reported to resolved — without walking back to the office.

Raise a work order in seconds

“Create Maintenance Task” is one button away for front desk, housekeepers and inspectors. Pick the room or area, describe the issue, done. The people who find problems are the people who report them.

Report by area, not just by room

Not everything that breaks is inside a guest room. Set up your own areas — lobby, pool, back-of-house corridor, staff quarters — and log work orders against them the same way.

Full job detail on one screen

Open a task and see everything: what was reported, by whom, when, the room or area, the current status and the completion date. No hunting through chat history to find out what was actually said.

Instant notifications when work lands

Technicians are alerted on screen the moment a job is assigned or a status changes — no refreshing, no waiting for someone to walk over and tell them.

Log Lost & Found while you’re there

Found a guest’s charger behind the headboard during a repair? Log it from the phone by picking the location, so it’s recorded properly instead of ending up in a drawer.

Built into the same system as the front desk

Maintenance, housekeeping, inspection and front desk share one Softinn account. Front desk can see a room’s open maintenance issue on the room status page — so nobody assigns a guest to a room that’s mid-repair.

Close the Room While You Raise the Job

The most expensive maintenance failure isn’t the repair — it’s the guest who checks into the room that was never fixed.

When you create a maintenance work order in Task, you can close the room at the same time and set how long it stays closed. The room stops being sellable immediately, across your PMS and every connected channel. When the job’s done and the room reopens, it goes back on sale.

One decision, made by the person who actually saw the problem, at the moment they saw it. No handover, no “did anyone block 302?”, no apology at check-in.

Know What Keeps Breaking, Room by Room

Task gives managers a room maintenance summary — room status alongside the repair history for each room, in a clean layout you can read on screen or export and share.

Patterns show up fast. The corner rooms whose aircon fails every quarter. The wing where the plumbing keeps calling. That’s the difference between fixing the same fault four times a year and budgeting the replacement once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Task module included in my Softinn subscription, or is it a separate add-on?

Task is an add-on module that runs on top of your Softinn PMS subscription. Because it shares the same system as your front desk and housekeeping, everything stays connected — no separate tool to manage. Talk to us for current add-on pricing.
No. Task is a mobile-first web app that runs in any smartphone browser, so your technicians can use their own phones and start from the moment they open the link. Nothing to install, no special hardware. Because it’s a Progressive Web App (PWA), it also supports push notifications to keep technicians informed of new tasks and updates.
Front desk, housekeepers and inspectors can all raise one — because the person who finds the problem should be the one who reports it. Each staff member has their own login with role-based access, so every work order carries a record of who raised it.

Can I block a room from being sold while it's being repaired?

Yes. When you create the maintenance work order you can close the room and set the duration. The room stops being sellable straight away, so no guest can be checked into it until the job is done and the room reopens.
Yes. The room maintenance summary report shows room status together with each room's repair history, and can be exported and shared. It's the fastest way to spot the rooms that keep failing and justify a proper fix instead of another patch.
You can try before you buy with a free trial. Onboarding is fast — there are 200+ self-paced video guides plus free monthly group training, and Task has a built-in tutorial for the technician module, so a new technician is productive on their first shift.
