Student residences and coliving

Student residence, serviced residence or coliving: your year has a peak, between late June and the new term, when hundreds of rooms must be turned over. The rest of the time, it is shared spaces that come round every week and must never be skipped.

Young people arrive with boxes and suitcases in front of a residence entrance.

Your needs

What really matters in your business.

  1. 01

    Get the summer turnover right

    Between the June departures and the start of the academic year, every room must be cleaned, checked and sometimes redone. Every morning, you need to know how many are really ready.

  2. 02

    Common areas that are never skipped

    Shared kitchens, study rooms, laundry room, corridors: cleaning of shared spaces comes round at a fixed frequency, without relying on the site manager's memory.

  3. 03

    Check-out inventory checks with photos

    The same shots at each resident's check-in and check-out: deductions from the deposit rely on images stamped with time and location.

  4. 04

    Let short-term in summer

    Rooms freed up in summer move to short-term rental. Bookings create turnover cleanings just as in a tourist residence.

A typical case

Two hundred rooms to turn over before the new term

This situation is a typical case, built from this line of business. It is not a testimonial: no company is named, and no figure is attributed to a real client.

Before

The end-of-year turnover was run from a whiteboard in the site manager's office. Nobody knew, at any given moment, how many rooms were really finished or which ones were waiting for a redo.

With The Big One

Each room is a job with its turnover checklist, and common areas come back automatically every week. The dashboard shows progress live, room by room, building by building.

A day

How it works, in practice.

  1. Late June

    The project is broken down

    One job per room, one building at a time, with the turnover checklist and the expected photos.

  2. Every morning

    Progress is clear

    Finished, in progress, to redo: the dashboard shows where the project stands before the new term.

  3. Every week

    Common areas come round again

    An automatic workflow recreates the shared-space cleaning jobs: they no longer depend on memory.

  4. September

    The summary is produced

    Hours spent, redos, linen used: the real cost of the turnover, per building. The history can be exported to Excel for the building owner.

What it changes

Three differences you notice quickly.

A peak you can steer

Two hundred rooms become two hundred tracked lines, not a whiteboard.

Common areas are never skipped

Recurring jobs recreate themselves, week after week.

A cost per building

Hours and linen are attached to the building, not to a global total.
