In most residential communities, Common Amenities or Facilities play a vital role in enhancing the living experience. However, managing these Facilities, especially during peak demand, can be challenging.
As a part of the Community Management Team (Management Committee / HOA / RWA, etc.), it’s crucial to have tools that ensure fair and efficient booking processes for all residents. Whereas, ADDA’s Facility Module already has multiple configurations to help a Community manage their facilities smoothly, often Communities have various specialised requirements for handling their unique common amenities/facilities.
This is where ADDA’s advanced Facility Booking module comes in – providing advanced configurations and controls.
Pain Points for Management Committees (MCs)
Managing common Facilities without a robust system can lead to several challenges for Management Committees:
- Effectively managing high demand: Sports facilities typically have high demand during weekends. In such circumstances, without a system which allows fair booking of these facilities, a lot of resident dissatisfaction can get generated.
- Manual Tracking: Keeping track of bookings, payments, and cancellations manually is time-consuming and prone to errors.
- Lack of Control: Without proper rules and restrictions, overuse or misuse of Facilities can occur, making it difficult to ensure fair usage for all residents.
- Unclear Rules and Regulations: Without a clear set of published guidelines, often miscommunication and misuse of facilities can happen. Also, residents might find the booking process confusing, leading to complaints and frustration.
Benefits of ADDA’s Advanced Facility Booking Module
Currently, your community’s Facility Booking module offers useful configurations, such as:
- Hourly/Date/Slot Bookings: Flexibility in booking based on specific time slots.
- Paid/Approval-Based/Free Options: Configurable options for different types of bookings based on payment or approval needs.
- Auto-Cancellations: Ensure smoother management with automated cancellations for missed or withdrawn bookings.
- Refundable Deposits: Option to collect deposits for damage protection or facility security.
However, ADDA’s Advanced Facility Booking Module enhances this experience by introducing even more powerful features to simplify and improve facility management. These options include:
- Prime Slots: High-demand slots can be designated as prime slots with usage restrictions and premium pricing, optimizing usage and boosting revenue.
- Facility Groups: Group similar facilities under shared restrictions. For example, multiple tennis courts can be grouped under “Tennis Court” to simplify administration.
- User Limitations: Set limits on the number of users allowed to access a facility at the same time (e.g., limiting pool usage to 20 users per slot).
- Owner Restrictions: Restrict facility access for property owners when tenants are using the property.
- Time/Calendar Restrictions: Set limits like no bookings beyond the next three months, or require bookings to be made at least two days in advance.
- Same-Day Booking Restrictions: Implement rules like limiting bookings to one per day or preventing consecutive slot bookings to ensure fair usage.
- Day/Night Bookings: Manage check-in and check-out based bookings for overnight facilities like guest rooms or day-based bookings for community assets such as music systems.
- Block Facilities: Temporarily block access to facilities during specific times or days for maintenance or other reasons.
These advanced configurations allow you to optimize facility management, ensuring fair and efficient access for residents while providing more opportunities to enhance community living and improve operational efficiency.
