How Keytoko increased guest ratings and cut complaints by 60% with Breezeway

Keytoko is a real estate and rental management agency specializing in new forms of housing, operating primarily in Toulouse, Occitanie, and the Caribbean, including Martinique and French Guiana. Managing 75 properties, Keytoko prides itself on being friendly, honest, and solution-oriented, ensuring warm guest experiences and efficient operations.

Keytoko

The Situation

Before implementing Breezeway, Keytoko faced significant operational inefficiencies. The company relied on a combination of Google Sheets, WhatsApp, emails, and phone calls to manage housekeeping, maintenance, and internal communication. This fragmented approach led to coordination challenges, time-consuming scheduling, and delayed responses to technical issues and owner requests.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Keytoko adopted Breezeway’s property operations tools to integrate with their PMS, Avantio. This combination allowed real-time synchronization for seamless property management. Plus, Breezeway’s automation significantly enhanced operational efficiency with streamlined housekeeping, maintenance, and inspection scheduling, centralizing communication and improving task tracking.

Streamlined scheduling and task management

Before Breezeway, scheduling housekeeping and maintenance required constant adjustments due to last-minute changes. These manual efforts took up to five hours per week for guest communication and nearly two hours per day for scheduling housekeeping and maintenance, impacting both guest and owner experiences.

Jordan shares, “We now save up to 10 hours per week thanks to automation. Syncing our PMS, Avantio, with Breezeway, allows us to automate housekeeping and maintenance scheduling in real-time based on bookings.” With this automated scheduling, Keytoko can now seamlessly assign and adjust tasks, ensuring timely cleanings, inspections, and repairs.

By centralizing operations, Breezeway has empowered Keytoko’s employees with clearer workflows and greater autonomy. The elimination of fragmented communication channels has minimized confusion and last-minute schedule changes, allowing employees to focus on their tasks with greater efficiency and confidence.

Enhanced guest and owner experience

Jordan shares, “before Breezeway, we spent almost 5 hours a week sending reminders, check-in/check-out instructions, and answering repetitive guest questions.” With Breezeway, guest communication is now automated, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely check-in and check-out instructions.

Faster response times and proactive maintenance interventions with Breezeway’s clear tracking system for equipment and repair requests have improved guest satisfaction, leading to fewer complaints and higher reviews. As a result, guest complaints about cleanliness or maintenance dropped by 60% and Keytoko’s average rating increased from 8.1 to 9.4 (out of 10).

Owners also benefit from detailed reports, offering full transparency into their properties’ conditions and maintenance history, strengthening their trust in Keytoko’s management. Jordan says, “owners appreciate the detailed reports, faster response times, and greater transparency in property management with Breezeway.” With these clear systems in place, Keytoko has seamlessly and successfully added 15 new properties to their portfolio since implementing Breeway.
