How Hotel Oderberger Berlin Increased Productivity by 89% and Saved Over 30 Hours Monthly with Flexkeeping

OPERATIONS

Hotel Oderberger Berlin implemented Flexkeeping, a Mews company, to modernize its housekeeping operations and replace manual processes with digital workflows. The result was a marked improvement in efficiency, communication, and team satisfaction.

Why it matters: Housekeeping operations built on printed lists, manual room assignments, and back-and-forth phone calls slow down staff and increase administrative burden. At Hotel Oderberger Berlin, this approach took more than an hour each morning and fragmented communication between reception, housekeeping, and maintenance.

Flexkeeping gives hotel teams a single system to assign rooms digitally, communicate requests in real time, and track task status live on mobile devices. By automating previously manual tasks and centralizing updates, teams work faster, make fewer mistakes, and have clearer visibility into operational progress.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Hotel Oderberger Berlin wanted to move housekeeping out of manual processes, ensure real-time communication across departments, and free up staff time to focus on service quality and guest experience.

Modernize Housekeeping Workflows: Replace paper lists and manual room allocation with automated room assignment and digital task management.
Improve Cross-Department Communication: Enable reception, housekeeping, and maintenance teams to see and update task status in a unified platform to speed response times.
Increase Productivity & Satisfaction: Eliminate time-consuming coordination and make daily work easier for all team members.
