The challenge

Independent hotels were running the front desk on spreadsheets, a paper housekeeping board and a separate card terminal. Nothing talked to anything else, so double bookings and end-of-day reconciliation took hours.

Our approach

We sat with front-desk staff and housekeeping for a week, mapped a day at the hotel, and designed one screen around it. Then we built in two-week sprints, testing each release at a partner hotel before the next.

How we got there.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Discover

    A week on site, mapping a full day at the hotel.

  2. Weeks 3–6

    Design

    Prototypes of the front desk, tested with staff weekly.

  3. Weeks 7–22

    Build

    Two-week sprints, each tried at a partner hotel.

  4. Week 24 →

    Launch

    Staged rollout, training and monthly updates.

What we built.

  1. One front-desk screen

    Arrivals, departures, room status and payments in one view, built for a busy reception.

  2. Housekeeping on the phone

    Cleaners update room status from their phones, and the front desk sees it straight away.

  3. Local payments built in

    bKash and SSLCommerz sit next to cards, so every payment lands in the same ledger.

  4. Rates and reports

    Seasonal rates, occupancy and revenue reports without exporting to a spreadsheet.

The outcome

  • Check-in, housekeeping and payments in one system instead of three
  • End-of-day reconciliation done in the system, not by hand
  • Released in small steps, with partner hotels testing each sprint
