In the fast-paced world of hotel management, the choice between specialized engineering software, manual maintenance management, or a generic hotel-wide work order system can be a game-changer.
Here, we delve into why hotels benefit immensely from specialized engineering software, such as Sidekick, and why it outshines manual approaches and one-size-fits-all solutions:
Efficiency through Specialization
Generic maintenance systems often lack the hotel-specific features unique to the industry. Specialized software, like Sidekick, is tailor-made for the unique needs of the hospitality industry, resulting in higher efficiency and effectiveness.
Ease of Implementation
Setting up a specialized engineering software is a breeze, with pre-built features and templates designed for hotel operations. Manual systems and generic software require more time and resources to adapt to hotel-specific tasks.
Faster Return on Investment
Specialized engineering software ensures a faster return on investment due to its immediate applicability and ability to streamline processes. Manual methods and generic systems may take longer to demonstrate their worth.
Hotel-Centric Defect Management
Specialized maintenance software like Sidekick offers defect lists and escalation features finely tuned for hotels. This ensures that your defect management aligns perfectly with your requirements.

Energy, Water, and Utilities Trending and Reporting
Sidekick software includes features for tracking and reporting on energy, water, and utilities consumption. This data provides valuable insights for better decision-making, cost savings, and environmental responsibility.
Efficient Cluster Management
For hotel chains or those managing multiple properties, specialized software often offers cluster management. This allows you to oversee all your sites with a single login, ensuring uniformity in maintenance operations.
In the competitive world of hotels, specialized engineering software is not a luxury but a necessity. It ensures that your maintenance and engineering operations are aligned with the unique needs of the hospitality industry, elevating your efficiency and guest satisfaction.
