"Rather than waiting and reallocating the rooms manually as the demand changes, KNOW Housekeeping allows us to prioritise the rooms as per the actual demand and concentrate on the cleaning the rooms where the demand is high making us more efficient"
Ed Richards
Hotel Manager @
St. James’ Court, London
"With KNOW Housekeeping allocation of rooms in the morning is a lot simpler and room priorities can be changed instantly. The best part is this can all be done through desktop, so supervisors don’t have to be wandering around the floors to find maids and changed their sheets around, it can all be done through systems and instantly."
Simon Shaw
Hotel Manager @
Holiday Inn London - Heathrow M4,Jct.4, An IHG Hotel
"All areas seem to have benefitted in some aspect of time efficiency. The time off request process, however, is possibly the largest win in terms of cutting time and improving communication. Associates are able to submit a request and check the status of it anytime, anywhere."
Justin Payne
Assistant General Manager @
"All the associates who have gone through orientation get excited to hear about using a central platform for scheduling and knowing that they can view everything on their phones whenever they want."
Andrea Jackson
Director of Services @
"The associates’ ability to request off, change availability, pick up shifts, etc., And the managers’ ability to approve and reject requests so quickly, sometimes instantly, makes the communication simple and clear. Less time spent behind a desk working on schedules equals more time on the marble."
Justin Weeks
Assistant General Manager @
"Thank you on behalf of the Great Wolf organization for your amazing partnership. This has been an amazing relationship, and I would like all the trainers and folks at UniFocus to know just how stellar it has been to work with you. A+ rating, no question."
Elliot Brandt
Corporate Mgr. of Onsite & Operations Programs @
"We rely heavily on the mobile app as an extension to labor scheduler. It streamlines a lot of paper-driven, administrative tasks"
Vincent Hubrich
Dir. Of Productivity Improvement @
"Time & attendance helped the staff be even more effective because employees sometimes have more than one job code or department. UniFocus T&A machines help them punch in/out in the right department and gives the managers visibility. The system also handles work rules and saves money, as rules can be very complicated with lots of variables. UniFocus T&A can be customized to the work rules for your area."
Andre Zotoff
VP of Asset Management @
HOTEL STRATEGIC INN PURI
"Our decision to implement UniFocus in all hotels in our portfolio was simple – we saw significant productivity improvements in properties using UniFocus for workforce management over those not using the system. Additionally, UniFocus brings a unique skill set to ensure that we develop and set effective operational standards to help us achieve even better results long-term."
