Frequently Asked Questions

What problem does keyd solve for hotels?

keyd helps hotels manage building, refurbishment and asset projects alongside live operations, giving clarity on cost, programme, decisions and risk all in one place.

Who is keyd designed for within the hotel?

keyd is primarily used by General Managers, Directors of Engineering and Asset/Finance teams, with optional visibility for corporate or ownership teams who need oversight without an additional reporting burden on the hotel.

Do we still need consultants if we use keyd?

Yes, for complex projects you will still need consultants, especially if the works include a design element. However, you can be more selective and efficient in procuring consultants using the keyd network. keyd doesn't replace consultants; it helps you use them better. You get structured access to expert advice when you need it, without referring every issue to a full consultancy engagement.

What types of projects can we manage through keyd?

keyd is suitable for typical hotel projects such as: refurbishments and phased renovations, plant and equipment replacements, compliance and lifecycle works, guest-facing upgrades, back-of-house improvements and asset protection and risk-reduction projects. All within an operational hotel environment.

How does keyd help us control costs and programme?

keyd creates a single source of truth for approved budgets and forecasts, live cost tracking, programme milestones and variations and decisions. This reduces surprises, improves accountability and supports better-coordinated internal and owner reporting.

Can our corporate or ownership team see what's happening?

Yes. keyd offers an optional oversight view so corporate or ownership teams can see progress, risks and decisions across properties, without asking hotels to produce extra reports or slide decks. This is available for hotel operators bringing 3+ hotels to keyd.

How do we source contractors and consultants through keyd?

keyd includes a structured e-tender and sourcing platform, allowing hotels to invite, compare and appoint contractors and consultants transparently. This reduces reliance on informal quotes and fragmented email chains.

Is keyd complicated to set up or run?

No. keyd is intentionally straightforward. Setup is supported by the keyd team and the platform is designed for busy hotel teams, not project specialists. If you can manage hotel operations, you can use keyd.

How is keyd different from generic project management software?

Generic tools are built for construction teams or finance teams, not for operators. keyd is built specifically for hotels operating live assets, where guest experience, brand standards and operational risk matter as much as cost and time.

What does "on-demand expert support" actually mean?

It means your team can access experienced project professionals for practical, real-world guidance; to discuss ad-hoc queries, unblock issues and sense-test options without committing to separate contracts each time you need support.
