Cleaning, inspection & handover in vacation rentals documented digitally

An operator of vacation rentals with several buildings and individual apartments runs the entire turnover between check-out and check-in with LiteLog: the cleaner works through the checklist in the LiteLog app, housekeeping signs off with photo evidence, defects become tasks assigned straight to the caretaker — and the handover report is created on site, on the device.

How LiteLog helps in vacation rentals

Between check-out and check-in. One clear process.

Cleaning, inspection and handover belong together. LiteLog maps the turnover as one chain — every station with a checklist, photos and a timestamp on the right apartment.

Cleaning with a checklist

The cleaner opens the cleaning checklist in the LiteLog app: OK/defect checkpoints per area, required photos for bathroom, kitchen and bedroom, and a completion report at the end. Works offline too — important in basements and buildings with weak coverage.

Housekeeping inspection

After cleaning, the inspection checklist with photo evidence runs. If a defect is recorded, it immediately becomes a task for the caretaker — and the office is notified automatically by e-mail or push.

Handover report on site

A form with photos and a signature field: hand the device to the guest, the signature lands in the report. Delivered as a PDF with your own company logo — sent straight from the app.

The difference to paper and photo chats

One process instead of three workarounds.

Photo chats, paper reports and shouting across the office work — until the first complaint. LiteLog records every station of the turnover with person, timestamp and photos on the apartment.

The process

Guest checks out — apartment ready again.

This is a turnover with LiteLog: three stations, and each one documents itself while people work.
1

Cleaning in progress

The cleaner signs in at the apartment — the LiteLog app recognizes the object via location or beacon and suggests signing in with one tap. Then the cleaning checklist: required photos per area, OK or defect per checkpoint, completion report at the end. Even without coverage — syncing happens automatically.

2

Housekeeping inspects

The inspection checklist with photo evidence confirms the quality. A defect — a dripping tap, a missing remote — is assigned as a task straight to the caretaker. The office automatically receives an e-mail or push notification.

3

Handover to the guest

At check-in, the handover report is created on site: photos, checkpoints, the guest's signature on the device. The finished PDF carries your company logo and goes out directly by e-mail.

Structure & administration

Built for operators with several buildings and individual apartments.

Master data, roles and connectivity — administration stays lean, even as objects are added.

Master data per apartment

Two-level hierarchy with names you choose: level 1 the building, level 2 the apartment. Address, notes and documents such as floor plans or appliance manuals live right on the object.

One person, several hats

Custom roles combine portal and app permissions. Whoever plans in the office in the morning and inspects apartments in the afternoon needs just one account.

Checklist import via AI

No need to retype existing Excel checklists: the AI import converts them into form templates — areas and checkpoints included.

Sign in and out without hurdles

No QR code, no NFC tag needed: the app recognizes the apartment via location or Bluetooth beacon and suggests signing in with one tap. The optional location lock prevents signing in from a distance.

Exports & scheduled reports

CSV and PDF exports for billing and owners. Scheduled reports arrive automatically by e-mail — daily, weekly or monthly.

REST API for your PMS

Open REST API with API keys: sync objects, create a cleaning task automatically on check-out, query checklist status. Your team or agency builds the connection to your property management system.

— From the field
Cleaning, inspection and handover used to run over three channels — paper, photos in a chat and shouting. Today everything hangs on the apartment: who cleaned, who inspected, which defects are open and what the guest signed.
