How SkyRun Eliminated Manual Work and Optimized Operations with TIDY

About the Client

🏢 Company: SkyRun Vacation Rentals
🏡 Industry: Short-Term Rental Property Management
📍 Location: USA
🛠️ Previous Software: Resort Cleaning & Trac
🎯 Key Challenge: Inefficient cleaning & maintenance tracking, lack of automation, and unreliable scheduling

Mandy Honeyman from SkyRun Vacation Rentals oversees 82 vacation rentals in a high-demand resort town. Managing a mix of condos and large vacation homes, her team relies on Trac as a PMS and previously used Resort Cleaning for operations. However, Resort Cleaning failed to meet their needs, creating inefficiencies in scheduling, tracking, and quality control.

She needed a modern solution that could:
✔️ Seamlessly integrate with Trac and automate scheduling
✔️ Provide real-time status updates on cleaning & inspections
✔️ Allow vendors to self-manage schedules while maintaining oversight
✔️ Improve maintenance tracking with instant reporting & automation

‍

“We use checklists, inspectors, and cleaning teams, but Resort Cleaning doesn’t do what we need. We wanted something newer, more technically advanced.” – Mandy Honeyman, SkyRun Vacation Rentals

‍

The Challenge: Why SkyRun Needed TIDY

Despite using Resort Cleaning, SkyRun team faced several operational pain points:

❌ Manual Scheduling Hassles – Resort Cleaning required manual assignment of cleaners and inspections, leading to unnecessary workload.
❌ Lack of Real-Time Updates – They needed automated notifications when a property had been vacant for too long or required an inspection.
❌ No End-to-End Tracking – The current system couldn’t track work orders, cleaning completion, or maintenance needs efficiently.
❌ No Seamless Vendor Management – Cleaners had no clear schedules and had to rely on manual communication.

‍

“With the previous software, I had to assign people manually and then build a schedule separately. I want to get rid of that extra step.” – Mandy Honeyman

‍

The Solution: Why SkyRun Chose TIDY

After exploring different solutions, they found that TIDY offered everything her team needed—and more.
