Software for the daily running of your hotel.

We build custom software for independent hotels. Housekeeping, maintenance, shifts and internal requests in one place, used by your team from their phones.

Ready in four weeks. No app to install.

About us

Arken is a small team based in Italy. We build internal software for independent hotels, one property at a time, and we work directly with your staff from the first call to go live.

More about us

How a typical morning goes today

Paper planThe housekeeping supervisor writes the plan on paper.
Group chatA housekeeper reports a leak in the group chat.
Phone callThe front desk calls upstairs to ask if room 214 is ready.
Missed callNobody picks up.

Information is scattered and nobody has the full picture.

With Arken, everyone works from the same up to date information.

Every system is built for one specific hotel.

The basic structure is the same for everyone, but the details follow your hotel: the room states you use, your floors and buildings, your departments and the words your staff already use. A resort with a spa and a restaurant doesn't work like a 20 room hotel, and its software shouldn't either.

What the software covers

The state of every room and who is working on it. The supervisor assigns the rooms, staff update them from their phone, and the front desk sees changes straight away.

Maintenance

Two lines and a photo to report a fault

Air conditioning will not startopen
Blind jammedin progress

It works alongside the tools you already use

Arken doesn't replace your booking system, invoicing, inventory or guest CRM. It covers the internal work those tools leave out.

Try it yourself

Tap room 214 to change its state, the way a housekeeper would. The front desk view on the right updates at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

See all questions

No. A housekeeper only sees the few buttons they need. There is no app to download and no email account to set up: just a link saved on the phone, a username and a PIN. Training takes about half a morning.

It takes four weeks from signing. There is a one off fee for building the system, paid half on signing and half on delivery, plus a monthly fee for hosting, fixes and support. The price depends on how many departments you have and how your rooms are managed, so we give it to you during the call.

Your data belongs to you and you can export it at any time, without asking us. Your right to use the system is written into the contract.
