Frequent Asked QuestionsFrequent Asked Questions

Platform & Integration

  • Where does Inhaven fit into my existing operations stack?

    Inhaven is your all-in-one purchasing and inventory management platform. We manage the physical side of hospitality, the items that make a property guest-ready and owner-ready, and integrate with your existing PMS and operations tools so you're not rebuilding workflows from scratch.

  • Which PMS systems does Inhaven integrate with?

    We're currently integrated with Track, OwnerRez, and Breezeway, with Guesty and Streamline in progress. We're actively building new integrations to support property managers across additional platforms. Reach out to our team for the latest timeline.

Inventory Management

  • Can I track products I've already purchased from other brands?

    Yes. Inhaven is not limited to products purchased through our shop. You can add and track inventory from any brand or supplier you're currently using.

  • Can I import my existing inventory data?

    Yes. You can import your current inventory so you're not starting from zero. Your dedicated Account Manager can also assist with the setup to make the transition as smooth as possible.

  • Can I manage inventory across multiple locations or markets?

    Yes. Inhaven supports multi-location and multi-market operations so you can track inventory across every storage location and property from one platform.

Owner Quoting

  • How does billing to homeowners work?

    Inhaven allows you to quote, mark up, and invoice owners directly for items allocated to their properties. Every transaction is itemized and tied to real activity, giving owners full transparency and protecting your margins.

  • Can I quote items not purchased on Inhaven?

    Yes. You can add any item to a quote, whether it's from Inhaven's shop or another supplier. You can also quote items you haven't purchased yet. Owners approve before you buy, protecting your working capital and eliminating out-of-pocket risk.

  • Can I control who the quote comes from?

    Yes. You select the sender when creating the quote. Every quote is white-labeled under your brand, so owners only see your company name, your pricing, and your team.

  • Can I reuse or duplicate quotes?

    Yes. Save templates for common scenarios like onboarding, seasonal refreshes, or linen programs with consistent pricing and markups built in. You can also duplicate any previous quote and modify it for a new need. Filter your quote history by time period to quickly find and reuse past work.

  • How am I notified when an owner responds to a quote?

    You receive a notification each time an owner takes action on a quote. Every change is tracked with full history so anyone on your team can pick up the quote and understand where it stands.

  • What happens after an owner approves a quote?

    The approved quote converts into a purchase request, giving you a ready-made shopping list. Download the invoice for owner billing and move straight to purchasing with no rekeying or manual tracking.

  • How do owners pay for approved quotes?

    Once a quote is approved, you download the invoice and send it to the owner directly. Whether you bill at the time of approval or deduct from future rental revenue is up to you and your existing owner agreements. Inhaven gives you the documentation. You control the process.

Reporting & Alerts

  • What reporting and insights are available?

    Inhaven provides reporting across activity and spend by property, inventory movement by storage location, owner quoting and billing summaries, and profitability reports, giving you the visibility you need to make smarter purchasing decisions and control costs.

  • Does Inhaven offer customizable alerts and notifications?

    Yes. Inhaven notifies managers when inventory drops below PAR levels, when a field request is submitted, and when an owner has reviewed a quote. You can manage your notification preferences directly in user management.

Field teams & housekeep app

  • How are managers notified when a field request is submitted?

    Each field request routes directly to management as a purchase order for review and approval. Managers are notified immediately and can manage notification preferences in user management.

  • What if my team isn't tech-savvy?

    Inhaven was designed for field teams. QR code scanning, simple request workflows, and centralized approvals mean your team doesn't need training on complex software to use the system effectively.

  • What if my field team doesn't speak English?

    Housekeep is designed to be visual first. Field teams select items from product images rather than text-heavy lists, making it intuitive regardless of language. We're also actively adding support for additional languages, including Spanish and Portuguese.

  • Is there a mobile app for field teams?

    No download required. Inhaven's field team portal (housekeep.inhaven.com) is a mobile-friendly web app that your teams can access directly from their phones. They can scan QR codes, submit requests, and manage inventory from the field without installing anything.

  • Can field teams only request pre-approved items?

    Yes. Field teams select from a pre-approved stock list you define, so every request aligns with your standards and budget. No unauthorized purchases.

  • Does Housekeep work without Wi-Fi?

    Housekeep requires an internet connection to submit requests and scan QR codes. Any device with a browser and cell service can access the platform.

Users & Access

  • How many users can I add, and are there different permission levels?

    There is no limit on the number of users you can add. Inhaven offers several permission levels, from Admin to Field Team, so you can control who adds and removes users, who can make purchases, and who has access to order details.

  • Is Inhaven available for properties outside the U.S.?

    Inhaven is currently U.S.-based, with international expansion on the roadmap. Reach out to our team for the latest updates on availability.
