Property
Turnovers should not live in a chat.
Property operations software should put occupancy, housekeeping, maintenance, and owner statements on one calendar. If a boiler blocks a unit in one tool and not the diary, the unit was never the object.
The problem
Bookings sit in one tool, cleaners in another, maintenance in a chat, and owner reports are rebuilt by hand at month-end. Linen versus 16:00 is a shout.
A boiler failure blocks a unit in one place and not the calendar. Statements go out before the cost is real. A deep clean that must not hit the owner still lands on the PDF because nobody owned the exception.
We build the property operation: units, week calendar, turnovers, tickets, owner statements. Works hold the statement until the cost is real. Housekeeping sees the clock; owners see occupancy without the staff login.
What a custom system holds
- Units with clash and occupancy on one calendar
- Turnover checklists on a clock, not a group chat
- Maintenance tickets that can block the diary
- Owner PDFs that wait on real cost
- Housekeeping and owner access without sharing one login
Questions
- What should property operations software replace?
- Four tools: bookings, cleaners, maintenance chat, and a hand-built owner report. Occupancy, turnovers, tickets, and statements belong on one calendar.
- How does a custom build start?
- A twenty-minute discovery call. We watch how work, stock, and money move — including the exceptions a template never modelled. Then a written scope. If a packaged product already covers it, we will say so.
- Where are you based, and who do you work with?
- Metalique Studios is a UK software company based in Chigwell, Essex. We build custom operations software for UK hire companies, workshops, field teams, and other ops-heavy SMEs — in the language those floors already use. See the UK page.
Where we work
If changeovers and owner reports still disagree at month-end, book a twenty-minute call. We start with how the units actually turn.
