One feature I would love to see in OwnerRez is automatic task creation tied to reservations.
For example, when a booking is received, OwnerRez could automatically create a housekeeping task based on the checkout date. The task would appear in the Tasks section and mobile app, allowing managers to assign it to the appropriate cleaner. Similar automation could be used for inspections, maintenance, pool service, and other operational tasks.
Currently, many of us use third-party platforms such as Operto/VR Scheduler to handle this workflow. Since OwnerRez already knows the arrival and departure dates, property, guest information, and booking status, it seems like much of the necessary data already exists within the system.
From a user perspective, the biggest benefit is not saving money—it’s keeping everything in one place. Reservations, guest communications, owners, accounting, housekeeping, maintenance, and tasks could all be managed from a single platform rather than having to synchronize information between multiple systems.
Personally, I would rather pay OwnerRez for this functionality than pay a separate company. Having a centralized operational workflow would simplify day-to-day management, reduce missed cleanings, and make the platform even more valuable for property managers.
