FAQs
Below you’ll find answers to common questions about PropertyCare, from housekeeping and maintenance management to integrations, mobile access and team workflows. If your question isn’t covered, please contact our support team at support@yourwelcome.com and we’ll be happy to help.
Getting Started
Who is PropertyCare for?
Property managers running their own housekeeping and maintenance, cleaning companies serving short-term rental clients and field teams who need clear instructions and a simple way to prove work is done.
Do I need YourWelcome tablets to use PropertyCare?
No. PropertyCare works as a standalone platform. If you also use YourWelcome tablets or GuestGuides, they work together as one suite, but neither is required.
Can I switch to PropertyCare from Breezeway, Turno or another tool?
Yes. Our onboarding team helps you bring across your properties, checklists and team structure so you can switch without disrupting live turnovers.
What happens during onboarding?
We connect your PMS, sync your properties and bookings, help you build your checklists and assignment rules, then invite your team to the app. You can run PropertyCare alongside your current process until you’re confident.
Is there a free trial?
Tasks & Scheduling
How are tasks created?
Automatically from bookings, where a new reservation triggers the task or clean. On a recurring schedule, for things like linen audits or monthly maintenance. Or manually, for any ad hoc job that comes up.
How does auto-assignment work?
Auto-assigning tasks is an optional feature. You set the rules and PropertyCare follows them. Assign by property, team, working pattern or any custom trigger that matches how you operate. Every booking gets the right person attached without anyone touching a spreadsheet.
What are claimable tasks?
Not every job needs a named assignee. You can publish tasks to a pool, and available team members claim them in the app. Useful for flexible teams, contractors and busy changeover days.
Can I adjust the schedule once it's set?
Yes. The drag-and-drop roster lets you move jobs between people on the fly, and the scheduling tool predicts the cost and time impact of every change before you commit to it.
What happens when a booking changes or cancels?
Linked tasks update automatically when the reservation changes in your PMS, so your team is never working from stale information.
Can tasks require approval before they're signed off?
Yes. Completed tasks can go through a manager approval step, with costs and claims recorded against each job. Useful for billing owners and verifying contractor work.
Mobile App & Field Teams
How do team members get access?
You invite them from the dashboard and they accept by email. They can then log in on the native app or any web browser. No technical setup needed on their side.
What does a cleaner see in the app?
Their tasks for the day, in order, with the property details, the checklist for that property and any special notes or booking details. Each checklist item can require a tickbox, photo, date, time or comment depending on what you’ve set.
Can staff report problems from the field?
Yes. If a cleaner finds a broken appliance or damage, they flag it in the app with photos, and it instantly becomes a trackable maintenance job that can be assigned to the right person.
Does the app work in other languages?
How do notifications work?
Team members are notified when tasks are assigned, changed or due. Notifications are sent through the app and email.
Does the app work with poor signal at remote properties?
We have an offline mode available within the app. This will store the data, such as images or take completion, on your device until you have signal or WiFi where it will then send the information.
Maintenance & Issues
How does issue reporting become a maintenance job?
Any issue flagged in the field converts into a job automatically, with the photos and notes attached. You assign it, track it and close it in the same system as your housekeeping.
Can I schedule preventative maintenance?
Yes. Set recurring maintenance tasks like boiler servicing, gutter checks or hot tub maintenance, at whatever frequency each property needs.
Can I use external contractors?
Yes. Contractors can be invited like any team member, with permissions controlling exactly what they can see, and claimable tasks work well for ad hoc contractor jobs.
Integrations & Data
Which PMS platforms do you integrate with?
All leading property management systems. Bookings, properties and guest data flow in automatically. See the full list on our integrations page.
What if my PMS isn't listed?
Contact us. We’re adding integrations regularly and can tell you the options available, including CSV import or iCal sync.
What does the bookings calendar show?
Every reservation across your portfolio alongside the tasks linked to it, so you can see at a glance which turnovers are covered and which need attention.
Teams, Permissions & Multi-Brand
Can I run multiple brands from one account?
Yes. Manage multiple brands under a single account, with user permission groups controlling exactly who sees which properties, tasks and data.
I run a cleaning company with several clients. Does that work?
Yes, this is one of our core use cases. We can show you all propertied in our unified calendar yet keep each client’s properties separate. You can give clients visibility of their own work if you choose, and keep photo proof and job records for clean, dispute-free invoicing.
What permission levels are available?
Inventory, Costs & Reporting
How does inventory tracking work?
Track inventory and consumables by property, so you know what’s in each unit, what’s running low and what’s been used, without separate spreadsheets.
Can I track the cost of every job?
Yes. Costs and claims are recorded against tasks, giving you a clear record of what was done, by whom and at what cost, by property, team or client.
What reporting is available?
Reports cover completed tasks, time, costs, issues and team performance across your portfolio, so you can spot efficiency gains and prove the work to owners and clients.
