Employee Module – Manage Your Team and Gain More
In today’s dynamic world of short-term rentals, managing a team is the key to success. Tasks that we once could handle ourselves for the growth of our business are now delegated.
In response to the needs of property owners and their collaborators, BedBooking introduces the new “Employee Module.” It will transform and simplify the way you manage short-term rentals, especially sensitive data. This new functionality allows you to define the scope of data accessible to employees in various positions within the company.
Allow us to introduce you to this innovation, the Employee Module.
What is the Employee Module?
Invoicing for stays/accommodations, responding to inquiries about availability, guest check-ins, assigning rooms for cleaning, checking room readiness for check-in, correspondence with guests, minor repairs… These are just a few of the daily tasks that you, as a property manager, have.
Some of these mentioned tasks are not performed by you personally. Your business has grown, and you need assistance. Perhaps you are already using an external cleaning company or have invited employees to join your team. Now, you can grant them access to the BedBooking application with the data you choose.
The Employee Module is a new feature that allows property owners and their teams to effectively and collaboratively manage short-term rentals. Access to sensitive and confidential data will be under control, and decisions about their visibility will be made by you as the property owner. Here are some key features and possibilities that set this module apart from the competition:
Increased Efficiency: With the Employee Module, you no longer need to personally handle all aspects of work – instead, you can rely on your team’s support. By inviting new members to collaborate, you can provide them with access to the BedBooking application without revealing confidential business-related data. This means you don’t have to do everything on your own anymore – now you can gain support from your team.
You can hire your own employees or collaborate with an external company. Using a single BedBooking application, you can allocate sensitive data that is accessible to everyone, or you can define the access scope for each specific collaborator.
Better Organization: With the access management module for employees, you can independently configure data access and application usage. Work organization becomes more transparent and faster. All information is available in one place, eliminating chaos and disorder. As the owner, you allocate data scope, and employees only see their assigned modules.
Greater Control: As the owner, you can oversee access, especially to sensitive data such as invoices, costs, earnings, or guest personal information. Employee access to the BedBooking application is associated with their own email address, and the password is set independently by the employee (a special activation link is sent to the provided email address).
Benefits for Owners and Employees
By inviting new members to your property management team, you may be concerned about:
- Whether employees will accidentally delete reservations in the system, leading to overbooking?
- Whether reservation data is up to date?
- Whether the pricing for accommodations is updated by competent individuals designated by the owner. Can every team member connected to the BedBooking application access the pricing?
- Whether everyone has access to company revenue data, summaries, and reports?
- Whether guest personal data is anonymized for cleaning staff, so you don’t have to worry about GDPR (RODO) regulations?
The new functionality that grants access to collaborators benefits both property owners and their teams.
For owners, it means:
- Simplification of daily tasks.
- Access to the application for trusted individuals.
- Secure access to data of particular importance.
- Provision of necessary features for employees.
For employees, it means:
- An opportunity for more advanced collaboration.
- Skill development in the short-term rental industry.
- Faster work – using the mobile application means data is at the employee’s fingertips.
By having the Permissions System known as the Employee Module, you know that your work will speed up, and daily duties related to informing, such as issuing invoices or cleaning rooms, will be directly within the application. You can share the application and grant access to selected elements.
