Worldwide: Property management system Mews has made its 13th acquisition with the addition of automated housekeeping platform Flexkeeping.
Flexkeeping, founded in 2012, provides a suite of automation and scheduling tools designed for hotel housekeeping teams.
Its main capabilities include:
• Automation and smart scheduling – Automatically manage room assignments, cleaning plans, shift scheduling and inspections using real-time PMS data and customisable rules.
• Real-time task management and communication – Staff receive instant room, maintenance and guest updates, with automated alerts and mobile tools for operations.
• Team collaboration – Housekeeping, maintenance and front desk teams are connected through shared checklists, centralised task tracking and instant communication.
• Flexible cleaning cycles – Users can set tailored cleaning plans and cycles according to local regulations, with visual workload management tools for managers.
The system also helps to remove language barriers by enabling users to create tasks in their native language through voice input, which is then automatically translated and routed to the appropriate department.

It’s the natural next step for our team and technology, bringing the power of automation and collaboration to even more hoteliers around the world. I can’t wait to set new standards in efficiency, staff happiness and guest satisfaction.”
