Cloud platform for accommodation operations
The platform for independent hotels, hostels and guest houses
SKAVA is a cloud system for the everyday work of small accommodation businesses: online self check-in, a staff panel with an audit log, long-stay billing and guest Wi-Fi. It already runs a working hostel in Rīga.

The problem
Small properties run on paper, spreadsheets and chat messages
Hotel software is built for short stays and a front desk. Hostels and guest houses work differently: many beds, long stays, invoices to employers and residents from many countries.
No record of who did what
Check-ins, room moves and extensions live in notebooks and messages. Disputes cannot be verified.
Long-stay billing in spreadsheets
Monthly bed prices, electricity per room, heating surcharges and employer invoices are calculated manually.
One Wi-Fi password for everyone
No link to the resident and no control after check-out.
SKAVA platform
Ten modules, one system
Each module works on its own and shares one record of guests, beds and rooms. Four are in daily use, two are ready to launch and four are in development.
Live
01
Online self check-in
The guest fills in a form by link or QR code in their own language and uploads photos of passport and visa.

02
Staff panel and audit log
Admin and staff roles. Every check-in, check-out, room move, extension and temporary absence is written to a log that cannot be edited.
Live
03
Long-stay billing
Monthly price per bed by season, electricity per room from smart meters, heating surcharge in €/m² and B2B invoices to employers.
Live
04
Guest Wi-Fi vouchers
Each resident receives a unique 30-day code linked to their stay (UniFi network).
In development
05
Dynamic pricing
Rates for Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and direct sales from one place, adjusted to demand.
In development
06
Owner reporting
Occupancy, revenue and outstanding debts online for the property owner.
Building and shared services
Integrations with the building itself: entry, meters, parking and the shared laundry.
In development
07
Face access
Residents enter the building and their room by face recognition. Access is linked to the stay: granted at check-in, removed at check-out.
Ready to launch
08
Smart meters in every room
Wi-Fi meters for electricity, hot and cold water in each room. Readings go straight into the resident's bill.
In development
09
Parking cameras
Number-plate recognition at the car park: residents' cars are matched to their stay, other vehicles are logged.
Ready to launch
10
Laundry booking
Machines are few and demand peaks in the evenings. Residents book a washing-machine slot from their phone — fewer queues, fair access for everyone.
Workflow
How it works
Three steps from the guest's arrival to the monthly invoice.
The guest registers
By link or QR code, in their own language, with passport and visa photos — before arrival or on site.
Staff assign a room
A few clicks in the staff panel. The action is logged with the time and the person who made it.
The rest runs automatically
Invoices, the Wi-Fi code and reports are produced from the same record.

Property management
We use the platform on our own properties
SKAVA also operates hotels, hostels and campsites for owners in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland: day-to-day operations, pricing and distribution, staff and monthly owner reports. Every property we run works on the SKAVA platform, so new features are tested in practice before they reach clients.
