Property Management System

HotelOne PMS

HotelOne PMS is cloud property management for Australian motels, hotels and serviced apartments: front desk, channel manager, direct bookings, payments, housekeeping and door keys in one system — built and supported in Australia.

Front desk & calendar

Bookings, check-in / out, room moves and folios on one drag-and-drop calendar.

Channel manager

Rates, availability and restrictions synced to Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Airbnb and 50+ more via Channex.

Payments & deposits

eWAY card payments, deposits, payment links and refunds; cards held in a vault, never in the PMS.

Housekeeping

A cleaning board, and a phone link for each cleaner — no login, no app to install.

Door keys from the PMS

Key cards, PIN codes and unlock links issued with the booking on LockOne locks.

Locks at lockone.com.au

Self check-in

Late and unattended arrivals check in without anyone on the desk.

Reports & Xero

Occupancy, ADR, RevPAR and channel reports, night audit, BAS figures and Xero sync.

Australian support

24/7, in English and 中文, from the team that writes the code.

What's in it

Everything HotelOne PMS does, part by part

One subscription covers all of it, priced by the number of guest rooms with lock management included. Nothing below is an add-on.

Front desk & calendar

Every booking is a bar on one calendar. Drag it to change room or dates, stretch it to extend a stay, or drag across empty nights to take a booking or block a room for maintenance.

  • Walk-in and phone bookings, with a one-line quote to read out to the guest
  • OTA bookings that arrive without a room wait in Unassigned, and are placed automatically at check-in time if a room is free
  • Group bookings, room moves, early departures and extensions

Rates & restrictions

Each room type has a default rate plan. Breakfast, non-refundable and other plans can follow it automatically — for example +$25 or −10% — so one change moves them all.

  • Minimum and maximum stay, closed to arrival or departure and stop sell, date by date
  • Per-person pricing, with child and infant surcharges
  • Hourly stays: a base package plus a price per extra hour, capped at the daily rate
  • A price floor that warns before a mistyped rate reaches the OTAs

Channel manager

The channel manager is built in, through Channex. Rates, availability and restrictions reach the OTAs within about 30 seconds of a change, and OTA bookings, changes and cancellations come straight back onto the calendar.

  • More than 50 channels, including Booking.com, Expedia and Wotif, Agoda, Airbnb, Trip.com, Hotelbeds, Bookeasy and Google Hotel Ads
  • A price adjustment per channel, as a percentage or an amount
  • OTA virtual cards brought into the card vault automatically
  • A channel report with room nights, commission and net revenue per channel
What a channel manager does

Direct booking engine

Guests book on your own website — we build and maintain hotel websites with the engine built in — or on a HotelOne booking page, at the same rates and availability as the front desk.

  • Pay at the property, card guarantee or online payment through eWAY
  • No commission on direct bookings
  • A confirmation email to the guest and a notification to the hotel
  • Guests look up their booking without creating an account
How the booking engine works

Payments & card vault

Record cash, EFTPOS, bank transfer or eWAY card payments against the booking, hold deposits separately and refund through the original payment. Card numbers never touch the PMS: they sit in a card vault and are shown once, to authorised staff, with every view logged.

  • Payment links by SMS or email for phone bookings — no card number read out or written down
  • Scheduled charges on a guarantee card, with the guest’s consent recorded
  • One Payments page for everything still owed, held or waiting

Invoices, reports & BAS

Tax invoices carry your ABN and a sequential number and can be emailed from the booking. The night audit freezes each business day at 03:10, and the tax page gives the BAS figures — G1, 1A and G3 — for any period.

  • Occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, by weekday and by room type
  • Revenue mix and daily net takings
  • Receivables ageing, and city-ledger accounts for companies
  • Orders pushed to Xero every 15 minutes
GST and BAS for motels

Door keys & smart locks

Key cards, PIN codes and unlock links are issued from the booking on LockOne and TTLock-compatible locks, and every unlock lands in the same system. Lock management is included in the PMS price.

  • One card for several rooms and the public doors
  • Remote unlock, passage mode for entrances, temporary codes for contractors
  • Lost cards blacklisted on every lock
  • Low-battery alerts
Smart-lock integration in detail

Self check-in

Late guests let themselves in: send the door code before they arrive, or let them collect a key card from HotelOne’s own kiosk. When they leave, the card return box tells the front desk at once.

  • Door codes valid from check-in time to check-out time
  • Kiosk: ID scanning, payment and key-card dispensing
  • Offline codes for a lock that has lost its connection
How self check-in works

Guest messaging

Two-way SMS with guests, and templated confirmations, check-in reminders, payment requests and thank-you messages by SMS or email. OTA guest messages and new bookings show up in the same notification bell.

  • SMS through the HotelOne phone app is free; an Android phone can send automatically as the property’s SMS gateway
  • Templates that fill in the guest’s name, dates, room number and door code
  • A blocklist, and STOP replies handled for marketing SMS

Housekeeping & maintenance

Cleaners open their own task page from a link or QR code — no login, no app — and move each room from dirty to cleaning to inspection to clean. Tasks can be raised automatically when a room is marked dirty or a guest drops the key card.

  • Assignment, a shared pool and optional inspection
  • A cleaning log with start, finish and duration
  • Maintenance jobs and routine tasks with due dates

Guests & loyalty

Guest profiles build themselves from bookings, matched by phone number, with notes and an internal alert the front desk sees on the next booking. Members earn points per dollar spent and move up tiers automatically.

  • Member list, tiers and points rules
  • SMS campaigns to members, with STOP handled as the Spam Act requires

Staff, roles & security

Each user has a role per property, and the role decides which modules they see. Signing in from a new location asks for a code, and viewing a full card number needs the hotel’s card view password.

  • Several properties under one company, each priced on its own
  • An activity log on every booking
  • Orders, payments and guest profiles exported to CSV

On a phone

Open the PMS in a phone browser and it switches to a phone layout: swipe the calendar, long-press a booking, take a payment or send a door code. The Android app adds notifications and can be the property’s SMS gateway.

Hosted in Australia

HotelOne runs on Google Cloud in Melbourne, so your bookings, guests and reports are stored in Australia.

We move you across

Our team imports your room types, rates and future bookings from your current system, and connects your channels through Channex.

Support 24/7

Phone, WhatsApp and email at any hour, in English and 中文, from the people who write the code.

Customisation

Configured to your operation — and changed where configuration runs out

We build and maintain this PMS ourselves, so you are not waiting on someone else's roadmap. If the way you sell rooms, bill owners or report to your accountant does not match the standard flow, we change the software rather than ask you to work around it.

The pain

“Hourly rooms, monthly tenants and apartments share one building — the system makes us fake it with dummy room types.”

What we customise

Room types, rate and deposit rules, stay lengths and the room-status flow are configured to your model; where configuration runs out, we change the code.

The pain

“The owner, the accountant and the system each want a different report — the gap is closed in Excel every month.”

What we customise

Send us the layout you actually sign off: per-apartment owner statements, GST/BAS-ready summaries, commission by channel and night audit, emailed on schedule.

The pain

“Our channel manager, accounting, door system and POS don’t talk — the same booking gets typed in three times.”

What we customise

Channex, eWAY and Xero are built in. For anything else — an existing lock brand, lift control, POS, group reporting — we write the connector on our open API and webhooks.

FAQ

Questions about HotelOne PMS

What is HotelOne PMS?
A cloud property management system for Australian motels, hotels and serviced apartments. One system runs the front-desk calendar, the channel manager, direct bookings, payments, invoices and reports, housekeeping, guest messaging and the door locks. It runs in a web browser, on a computer or a phone.
How quickly do rate changes reach Booking.com and the other channels?
Usually within about 30 seconds. If a channel ever shows a stale price, the OTA connections page shows the channel’s sync error in its original wording, and Full resync pushes the next 500 days of rates, restrictions and availability again.
Can we run the property from a phone?
Yes. Opened in a phone browser, the PMS switches to a phone layout: calendar, bookings, payments, messages, door codes and unlock links all work by touch. The Android app can also act as the property’s SMS gateway. Key cards are the one thing still written on the front-desk computer, with the card encoder.
Do you store guests’ card numbers?
No. Card details are typed into the card vault’s own form and never touch the PMS; the PMS keeps a token that can charge the card, or show it once to a user who enters the hotel’s card view password. Every view is logged, the CVV can be shown only once, and stored cards are deleted automatically after the stay.
Does it give us the figures for the BAS?
Yes. The tax page shows G1 (total sales including GST), 1A (GST on sales) and G3 (GST-free sales) for any period, broken down by item and by tax rate, with CSV export. Tax invoices carry your ABN and sequential numbers, and a voided invoice stays archived. Orders can also be pushed to Xero.
Can we control what each staff member sees?
Yes. Each user has a role per property, and the role decides which modules they see and which actions the server allows. Signing in from a new location asks for a code from an authenticator app or email, and viewing a full card number needs the hotel’s card view password.
Can we sell rooms by the hour?
Yes, once hourly stays are switched on for the property. Each room type gets a base package (for example the first 3 hours) plus a price per extra hour, capped at the daily rate automatically.
