What Relyo does for staff housing
Grade rules first, then the best fit
In Bedspace Manager, your team assigns beds by hand or from Excel. Smart Match checks grade rules and weighs department, shifts, dates, languages and who has a car.
- 6 hard rules, including grade room rules
- 9 fit factors, such as night-shift quiet and commute
- "Keep the kitchen team together" never breaks a hard rule
- Every result explained, accepted in one click
Inspections link new damage to its stay
Relyo records move-in and move-out with photos and meter readings. Your team marks new damage on its stay, and nobody is charged for damage already there.
- Checks by your team and by the occupant
- Move-in and move-out photos side by side
- Repair costs attributed to the stay, for reporting only
Catch utility overuse the month it happens
Each grade can carry a utility allowance. Relyo checks every bill against it, shares the cost by days stayed and shows each person their share.
- Bill scan reads 13 fields, from any provider or country
- Cost shared by days stayed, under each grade's policy
- Flags missing bills and bills at least twice the recent average
Frequently asked questions
Is Bedspace Manager a good choice for staff accommodation?
Yes, when you rent beds and need leases and monthly billing per bed. Bedspace Manager gives HR, Finance and Facilities role-based access, plus maintenance and reports. In Relyo each team's work feeds the others on one record: grades from HR drive room planning, bills are checked against each grade's allowance and finance sees cost per department and grade.
What is the main difference between Relyo and Bedspace Manager?
Bedspace Manager centres on leases and invoices: billing cycles, proration, WhatsApp invoices and overdue reminders. Relyo is staff housing software for hotels and resorts and centres on the housing itself: Smart Match room planning, grades, four inspection checkpoints, utility bill checks and cost per occupant, department and grade.
Which is better for a hotel or resort that houses its staff?
Relyo is built for that case: grades, utility allowances, leased buildings, inspections and cost per occupant, with HR, finance, operations and housing on one record. Bedspace Manager's staff accommodation page does not mention hotels or resorts. It fits operators who rent beds by the month and invoice their tenants.
Does Relyo send invoices or collect rent like Bedspace Manager?
No. Relyo tracks rent due, paid and overdue and opens a rent ticket 15 days before each due date, and money moves outside it. Bedspace Manager generates monthly invoices, sends them as branded PDFs on WhatsApp and reminds tenants when they are overdue.
Can either tool deduct housing costs from salaries?
Neither describes a payroll integration. Bedspace Manager's labour camp page covers employer-subsidised and employee-deducted accommodation, tracked per worker. In Relyo, each grade's rent cover decides what a person owes, and money moves outside Relyo, for example by a payroll deduction you run.
Does Relyo have a mobile app like Bedspace Manager?
Relyo works in the browser on any phone, with nothing to install, but has no native iOS or Android app. It has four portals: operator, occupant, maintainer and landlord. Bedspace Manager offers web, iOS and Android apps for operators, and its tenants get invoices and reminders on WhatsApp.
Can Relyo track utility overage per person?
Yes: each grade can have a utility allowance, every bill is checked against it, and overage is flagged the month it happens. The cost is shared by days stayed, and each grade's policy decides whether the organisation, the person or both pay. Bedspace Manager's public pages describe income and expense invoices, not utility allowances.
Does Relyo integrate with Bedspace Manager, and can we move over?
There is no integration or API, but you can move over by file. Export your staff list to CSV or Excel and import it, up to 500 rows per file, or let Relyo AI map the columns and import after your approval. The Relyo team sets up your buildings with you.
How does pricing compare between Bedspace Manager and Relyo?
Relyo has no public pricing. Selected partners get a free pilot that starts with one building, set up with the founders, and pricing is agreed after the pilot. For Bedspace Manager pricing, ask Bedspace Manager directly.
