The room board is the working heart of a hotel PMS. When the status is current, reception can act faster: available rooms can be sold, dirty rooms can be handed to housekeeping, reserved rooms stay visible and occupied rooms remain tied to the active stay.

One status, one action

SmartVisit works with practical room states such as Ready, Occupied, Dirty, Reserved and Maintenance. The point is not to add more screens; it is to make the next action obvious from the room grid.

Room shift without losing the stay

When a guest changes rooms, the active stay continues while the room assignment is updated. SmartVisit also connects the operational event to guest communication so the hotel can keep the guest informed.

Why live refresh matters

A room board that refreshes regularly reduces the gap between what happened at reception and what another team member sees on screen. That is especially useful during busy check-in and checkout periods.

One system for the front desk, the floor & the books.
