What Relyo does for staff housing
Grade rules first, then the best fit
Livinsoft matches residents by preference and profile. Smart Match uses what an employer knows: grade rules, then 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
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
- Flags a property with 3 or more over-allowance bills in a period
Grades apply the same rules to everyone
Livinsoft prices beds for the people who book them. In Relyo, each person's grade sets their room, their utility allowance and how much of the rent is covered.
- Room rules, including a room of their own
- Enforced as off, warn or block, per department
- Rule changes re-check existing stays
- Cost per occupant by grade and department
Frequently asked questions
Is Livinsoft a good choice for staff housing?
It can be. Livinsoft markets staff housing to ski resorts, theme parks, medical facilities and hotels, with a branded app, online payments, roommate matching, maintenance and inspections. If you need grade rules, utility allowances and cost per person, department and grade, which its public pages do not describe, Relyo is built for that.
What is the main difference between Relyo and Livinsoft?
Livinsoft is built mainly for student dormitories and for renting beds: bookings, seasonal pricing, online payments, a channel manager and financial reports. Relyo is staff housing software for hotels and resorts. It plans rooms with Smart Match, applies grades, checks bills against allowances and shows 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. Livinsoft fits better if you rent beds as a business and want bookings, online payments and a branded resident app.
How does room planning in Relyo compare with Livinsoft?
Livinsoft matches roommates from resident preferences and profiles, shows a match rate and says it works for staff allocation too. Relyo's Smart Match applies 6 hard rules, such as bed capacity, smoking and grade room rules, and scores 9 fit factors like shift clashes, night-shift quiet, commute and shared language. Preferences in plain words never override the hard rules.
Does Relyo collect rent or process payments like Livinsoft?
No. Relyo tracks rent due, paid and overdue, opens a rent ticket 15 days before each due date and records deposits, and money moves outside it. Livinsoft takes rent and deposits online through the operator's own payment provider.
Does Relyo have a mobile app like Livinsoft?
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. Livinsoft offers a resident portal and a mobile app that can carry the operator's brand.
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. Livinsoft's public pages describe automated billing to residents, not utility allowances.
Does Relyo integrate with Livinsoft, 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 Livinsoft 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 Livinsoft pricing, ask Livinsoft directly.
