Between an 11am checkout and a 3pm arrival you have four hours — and too often nobody coordinating them outside WhatsApp. Hostik assigns the cleaning to the right person, seals the photo proof, and keeps your night-cap counter current. Your PMS keeps the bookings; Hostik runs the field.
Short-term rentals live on the rhythm of check-outs and check-ins. When those two times overlap on the same unit, improvising costs you a night.
The guest leaves late, the cleaning hasn't started, and the next arrival is four hours away. Hostik pushes the task the moment the real check-out lands, to the closest available agent, with the unit's checklist. You watch progress live instead of pinging a WhatsApp group.
A unit let year-round eventually grazes the legal limit. Hostik's night-cap counter sums stays per unit automatically and warns you before the breach — not after a fine. The monthly EU 2024/1028 export is ready to file.
A guest disputes the unit's condition long after leaving. The end-of-clean photo is sealed (SHA-256 + Ed25519), timestamped and geotagged at capture: defensible proof, not an image lost in a chat thread.
Nothing exotic — just the building blocks you expect from a field tool when every turnover counts.
The engine reads each agent's floor, current load and skills, then pushes the cleaning to the right profile the moment check-out is confirmed. No more shared spreadsheet, no more "who's taking number 3?" at 11:05.
Nights add up per unit against the Paris (90 d), Amsterdam (30 d), NYC and Barcelona caps. Alert before breach, monthly EU Regulation 2024/1028 export ready to send.
Every end-of-clean shot is SHA-256 hashed on the phone, Ed25519 counter-signed server-side, timestamped and geotagged. Append-only ledger, publicly verifiable, eIDAS-admissible to defend a dispute.
Hostaway, Guesty, Lodgify, OwnerRez, Hostfully or iCal over OAuth. Bookings flow in real time and trigger turnovers — Hostik doesn't replace the PMS, it takes over on the operations side.
Most short-term operators still run the field on a WhatsApp group and a Google Sheet. It works until it doesn't — a missed turnover, a breached cap, an indefensible chargeback.
