Integrate TIDY and Lodgify for Easy Rental Cleaning Management

If you are a vacation rental owner or manager, you know how important it is to keep your properties ready and clean for guests. However, managing the booking process can be challenging, especially if you have multiple rental properties to take care of. Additionally, scheduling reliable cleaning services that help you ensure the best possible experience for your visitors is no easy feat, yet of the utmost importance.

Luckily, integrating TIDY and Lodgify is a game-changer for rental businesses, helping you easily manage the entire rental and cleaning process. In this article, we'll discuss the many benefits of integrating TIDY and Lodgify, and show you how to do it in a few simple steps.

Benefits of Integrating TIDY and Lodgify

Both TIDY and Lodgify bring many benefits to rental property owners. TIDY is a cleaning management software that connects property managers with professional cleaners who can handle their rental cleaning needs. Lodgify is a property-management software that helps you create and manage your own vacation rental website, accept online bookings, and sync your calendars with other booking channels like Airbnb.

Integrating TIDY and Lodgify together is a game-changer, making a full-service rental management solution. With TIDY and Lodgify integrated, property managers can enjoy the following benefits:

Simplified Rental Cleaning Management

Keeping your rental properties clean for every stay is one of the most important steps in managing a rental business. However, maintaining regular, reliable vacation rental cleaning during the short turnover window between guest bookings is a challenge for business owners. That's where TIDY comes in.

TIDY helps you find the best property management cleaning services in your area and book them with ease. With TIDY, you can easily schedule, track, and pay for your cleanings through our app or website. You can also customize your cleaning preferences, add special instructions, and communicate with your cleaners directly. TIDY's platform connects you with next-day service providers for:

• House Cleaning
• Pool cleaning
• Carpet cleaning
• Window washing
• Lawn & garden care
• Junk removal
• Pest control
• Pressure washing
• Tree trimming
• Inspections
• Maintenance
• Trash services

For any physical management your property needs, TIDY is here to help. It's the ultimate platform for ensuring your property is in tip-top shape before each new stay.

When integrated with TIDY, Lodgify's software also helps to make property cleanings a breeze. Lodgify's platform lets you manage your reservations, guests, payments, and reviews all from one dashboard. When connected to your TIDY account, you can integrate your cleaning services with your existing calendar, automatically scheduling cleanings after checkout.

The two platforms together also let you receive notifications when your cleaners start and finish their jobs — plus get photos of the cleaned property. This way, you can rest assured that your properties are always clean and ready for the next guest. This simplified, automated property management solution saves you time, money, and hassle, so you can focus on growing your business.

Increased Occupancy and Income

With traditional property management methods, owners have to leave a significant amount of time between bookings to get each stay ready. Now, the integration of TIDY and Lodgify helps property owners turn over their rentals as fast as possible.

With this reliable and consistent commercial cleaning service, you can reduce your turnaround time and offer more availability to your potential guests. This lets you boost your occupancy rate and maximize your income. Plus, you'll save costs from having one or multiple long-term cleaning partners, increasing your potential revenue even more.

Knowing you can host as many guests as possible makes it easier to optimize your pricing strategy and adjust your rates based on demand, seasonality, and competition. Plus, the better cleaning — and increased amount of guests — means you will receive more and better reviews for your short-term rentals. These powerful tools can add a lot of value — literally — to your rental business.

Access to an Extremely Powerful Suite of Tools

Integrating TIDY and Lodgify also gives you access to an extremely powerful suite of tools that can help you grow your rental business even further.

For example, TIDY's features let you manage your cleaners, monitor their performance, rate their work, and tip them accordingly. You can also use TIDY's analytics to track your cleaning costs, frequency, duration, and quality to further optimize your cleaning strategy. TIDY also lets you message directly with cleaners to ensure clear communication and that they meet your needs.

Lodgify's platform features tools for creating a stunning website for your rental business, accepting online bookings directly from your guests, and syncing your availability with other channels. You can also use Lodgify's marketing tools to promote your website, generate more traffic, and increase your conversions.

Integrating TIDY and Lodgify lets you leverage the best of both platforms and take your rental business to the next level. The two platforms seamlessly integrate together to provide the ultimate solution for hosting multiple rental properties. They empower you to manage all the calendars, booking, cleaning, reviews, and more for each property in one space.

Enhanced Booking Management

With the two platforms together, property owners can easily manage all of their reservations from one place, whether they come from their own website or other channels like Airbnb. From TIDY's and Lodgify's unified dashboard, you can view one booking calendar for all of your upcoming stays. Here, you can also manage any cancellations, confirmations, payments, and reviews.

The two platforms also let you communicate with your guests before, during, and after their stay. And you can send them automated messages, confirmations, invoices, and reminders.

You can also collect payments securely through Lodgify's payment gateway or integrate with other payment providers like Stripe or PayPal. This streamlined booking management solution provides a hassle-free experience for you and your guests, enhancing the professionalism of your rental business.

Steps to Integrate TIDY and Lodgify

It's clear that TIDY and Lodgify are each powerful platforms in their own right. But together, they're revolutionary. And combining them is easier than you think. Here are the steps to integrate your TIDY and Lodgify accounts:

Create a TIDY Account

The first step is to create a TIDY account if you don't already have one. To do so, sign up for free on the TIDY website or download the TIDY app on your iOS or Android device. Then, you will need to provide some basic information about yourself and your properties, such as your name, email address, phone number, location, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.

You will also need to choose the right plan for you based on the number of properties you own. The plans range from $0 to $10 per unit per month. Confirm your account via email, and you are good to go.

Create a Lodgify Account

The next step is to create a Lodgify account (if you also don't yet have one). You can sign up for a free trial on the Lodgify website, or speak with a representative to decide the best plan for you. You will also need to provide some basic information about yourself and your properties. You may need to wait for the company to verify your information, and then confirm your account via email.

Link Your TIDY and Lodgify Accounts

Once you have your accounts, you'll need to link them so they can communicate with each other. To do this, simply follow these steps:

• Log in to your TIDY account on the web or app.
• Go to the "Integrations" page and click on the Lodgify icon.
• Enter your Lodgify username and password and click "Connect."
• Select the properties you want to sync and click "Save."

That's it! You have successfully integrated TIDY and Lodgify. You can now see your Lodgify calendar on your TIDY dashboard and automatically schedule cleanings after each checkout.

Schedule a Cleaning

The final step is to schedule a cleaning for your properties. You can do this in two ways:

• Automatically: You don't need to do anything if you have linked your TIDY and Lodgify accounts. TIDY will automatically schedule a cleaning for your properties after each checkout based on your preferences. You can also adjust the cleaning time, frequency, and duration as needed.
• Manually: If you prefer to schedule a cleaning manually, you can do so by logging into your TIDY account and clicking on the Schedule button. Choose the property, date, time, and cleaner you want. You can also add any special instructions or requests for your cleaner.

Once you have scheduled a cleaning, you can track its status, communicate with your cleaning team, and receive photos of the cleaned property on your TIDY dashboard.

Congratulations, you've now integrated TIDY and Lodgify together. Now you can optimize your entire rental management process, enhance guest experiences, and grow your business operations.

How Does the Integration Work?

TIDY and Lodgify have collaborated to make the integration between the two platforms work seamlessly. After you integrate your accounts, TIDY pulls all your listings from Lodgify and creates them as properties in TIDY. Then, when a new guest reservation appears on your Lodgify account, it's also automatically added to your "Reservations" tab within TIDY.

Now TIDY knows the reservation details and when to automatically book a cleaning between guests' check-in and check-out. The turnover cleaning follows any instructions you set under "Automatic Booking." Your selected "Pros," or professional cleaning crew, can still accept each job as usual.

Once a Pro is assigned the job, they will receive your instructions and cleaning procedures, access the To-Do List (if you have one), and communicate with you through TIDY. The app will notify you according to the notification settings you determined under preferences. The Pro will also send you photos of updates through TIDY. And just like that, your property is ready for the next guest.

You can then continue managing your properties on the Lodgify platform, automatically or manually setting up cleanings as needed. Both TIDY and Lodgify have 24/7 customer service to address your needs or concerns throughout the entire hosting journey.

How Automatic Booking Works

Automatic booking is a valuable tool that all hosts should consider. The integration between these platforms makes automating the majority of your hosting process easier than ever.

Automatic booking works by TIDY identifying each new guest reservation from your Lodgify account, and automatically adding it to your "Reservations" tab in the TIDY app. Then, once the check-out notification occurs, TIDY automatically requests a turnover cleaning, following the instructions you set under "Automatic Booking." Your pre-selected Pros will then be on their way to getting the job done.

Now, you can sit back and relax while your Pros send you live tracking of tasks in the TIDY app, along with photos of the progress or the final result. You can also communicate with them directly in the app to ask questions or let them know about any concerns. This process continues for each booking, making the cleaning process completely automated.

TIDY also offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, meaning there's no need to worry about any errors.

As a manager of multiple rental properties, you understand the importance of maintaining a clean property for every new guest or tenant. However, managing the cleaning, maintenance, and upkeep of numerous properties can be a significant challenge, especially when dealing with dozens or even hundreds of units.

If you're tired of the endless phone calls and coordination with multiple cleaning service providers, it's time to consider integrating TIDY with your rent management software. TIDY simplifies the process of finding and hiring cleaning teams worldwide, helping rental owners automate the entire turnover cleaning process.

Integrating TIDY with Rent Manager can streamline your property cleaning process. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started.

Benefits of Integrating TIDY With Rent Manager

Rent Manager is a leading software solution for rental property owners, offering a unified platform to manage all properties from a single interface. With Rent Manager, landlords can easily track rental information, accounting, utilities, and generate comprehensive reports.

When TIDY and Rent Manager work together, they create a comprehensive rental management solution that can significantly benefit property managers. Here are some of the key advantages:

Centralized Reservations Management

One of the primary benefits of integrating TIDY and Rent Manager is the simplified reservations management. Property managers can view all their bookings directly on TIDY and sync rental listings from platforms like Airbnb or their own website. This integration allows you to schedule necessary cleaning and maintenance services in accordance with your booking calendar.

You'll have access to a unified calendar displaying all scheduled bookings, cleanings, and maintenance services. Additionally, you can manage other aspects of guest bookings, including cancellations, payments, confirmations, and reviews.

The TIDY dashboard enables seamless communication with guests or tenants before, during, and after their stays through live chat or automated messages, such as confirmation reminders. You can even accept payments through the TIDY platform, making it a comprehensive booking management solution. Combining TIDY and Rent Manager provides a hassle-free experience, allowing you to automate your rental management process and focus on business growth.

Automated Cleaning Request Setup

Property owners must regularly hire professional cleaning companies for turnover cleaning, which can be stressful and time-consuming. By integrating TIDY with your Rent Manager account, you can completely automate this hiring process.

Property owners can link their existing databases and rental calendars with their cleaning service schedule. From your TIDY account, you can then hire cleaning and maintenance services for one-time or ongoing periods.

With TIDY's automatic cleaning option, you can set your preferences for cleaning, provide cleaning instructions, and select your preferred cleaning providers. TIDY will then automatically schedule professional cleaners for your unit(s) after checkout. You'll receive live updates throughout the cleaning process and can communicate directly with the cleaners.

TIDY also allows you to schedule cleanings manually, providing direct control for last-minute requests. You can schedule next-day cleaning or maintenance services to accommodate short-notice changes that are common in property management.

To schedule manual cleanings, navigate to the "Schedule" button on your TIDY account and select the property, date, time, and cleaner of your choice. Provide any specific instructions or requests. As with the automated option, you can track the cleaning status and communicate with your cleaning team in real time.

TIDY connects property managers with the best cleaning services in their area. Our professional cleaning partners can provide the following pre-scheduled or next-day services:

• House Cleaning
• Deep cleaning
• Pool cleaning
• Carpet cleaning
• Window washing
• Lawn and garden care
• Junk removal
• Pest control
• Pressure washing
• Tree trimming
• Inspections
• Maintenance
• Trash services

With the TIDY website or app, you can schedule, track, automate, and pay for your cleaning services in one place. You'll no longer need to contact cleaning companies directly, reducing the risk of last-minute cancellations. Even if you're in a different time zone from your rental properties, you can be confident that the cleaning process is being managed effectively.

Utilize Your Existing Cleaning Teams

Already have a network of local cleaners? TIDY allows you to invite your preferred cleaners to our platform. Simply have them create their own TIDY account and add them to your "Pros" list. This list gives your preferred cleaners priority for each turnover. If your regular cleaners are unavailable, TIDY lets you manually or automatically choose another professional to complete the job, following your vetting criteria.

TIDY also enables you to hire cleaners on short notice, offering next-day service for maintenance repairs, standard cleaning, lawn care, and more. This option is ideal for last-minute bookings, cancellations, or unexpected issues like pest control needs.

Effortless Job Tracking

Another significant benefit of using TIDY with Rent Manager is the ability to track each cleaning job in detail. Our software allows you to monitor each step of the cleaning process, including who is cleaning, what tasks are being completed, and the expected completion time. Cleaners provide live updates, notifying you of any issues, delays, or questions. You'll also receive notifications when cleaners start and finish their jobs, along with photos of the final results.

You can communicate directly with your cleaners through the app or website dashboard to address any last-minute changes or requests. With TIDY's comprehensive tracking capabilities, you can have peace of mind knowing that your property is being thoroughly cleaned.

Seamless System Integration

You can transfer all your rental booking information from Rent Manager and other property management software to TIDY in minutes. TIDY automatically adds all your Rent Manager listings to the properties in your TIDY account. When new bookings or rental agreements are added to Rent Manager, they are automatically added to your TIDY calendar, dashboard, and Reservations section. TIDY then uses these reservation and checkout details to automatically schedule cleanings between rental periods.

You can continue using Rent Manager to manage your rental property portfolio, communicating with tenants and using TIDY to schedule cleaning, repairs, and maintenance as needed. You can also send guests automated reminders of scheduled maintenance and other interruptions.

Rent Manager and TIDY also provide advanced insights when paired together. Rent Manager's accounting software allows you to manage all your finances in one place and generate auto-reports. By integrating TIDY, you can easily view receipts for all rental cleaning services.

TIDY's AI-generated insights also provide suggestions for improving your property, such as layout and turnover cleaning tips. Together, these tools help property owners optimize their rental businesses, maximize occupancy, and increase revenue.
