Guest requests sitting in a PMS while maintenance teams work from a separate CMMS — or worse, from phone calls and paper logs — is the single largest source of delayed repairs in hotel operations. When your property management system and maintenance platform talk to each other in real time, guest requests become work orders instantly, room status updates trigger inspections automatically, and nothing falls through the cracks between front desk and engineering. Connect your PMS to Oxmaint today — free trial, no credit card, live in under 60 minutes.

The Problem
Why Disconnected PMS and CMMS Systems Cost Hotels Money Every Day
In most hotels, the front desk logs a guest complaint in the PMS. Then someone calls engineering. Engineering writes it on a whiteboard or a paper log. Hours pass. The guest calls again. The front desk calls engineering again. The repair finally happens — but the guest has already decided this is a 3-star review.
This is not a people problem — it is a systems problem. When the PMS and CMMS operate as disconnected silos, every maintenance request requires manual handoff. Manual handoffs mean delays, lost requests, and zero visibility for management into what is happening between guest complaint and resolution. Oxmaint eliminates the gap entirely by connecting directly to your PMS — Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, and others — so that guest requests become tracked work orders the moment they are logged. Book a demo to see the integration live with your PMS.
Integration Workflow
How PMS-CMMS Integration Works in Oxmaint
A guest reports an issue. Within seconds, a fully detailed work order reaches the right technician. Here is the exact workflow — no manual steps, no phone calls, no delays.
1
Guest Request Logged in PMS
Front desk or guest app logs a maintenance request in Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, or any supported PMS. Room number, issue type, and priority captured at source.
2
Automatic Work Order Created in Oxmaint
Oxmaint receives the request via API in real time. A work order is auto-created with room, asset, issue category, guest priority, and full asset history pre-attached.
3
Technician Dispatched via Mobile App
Work order routes to the right technician based on skill, location, and availability. Push notification on mobile with full repair context — no phone calls needed.
4
Repair Completed with Photo Verification
Technician completes the repair, logs parts used, captures photo evidence, and closes the work order — all from the mobile app.
5
PMS Updated Automatically
Room status syncs back to your PMS. Front desk sees resolution in real time. Guest gets notified. Full audit trail recorded — from request to close.
Guest Request to Technician Dispatch in Under 2 Minutes — Automatically
No phone calls. No paper logs. No lost requests. Oxmaint connects to your PMS and turns every guest maintenance request into a tracked, routed, closed work order.

05
Preventive Maintenance on Checkout
Room checkout events in the PMS trigger scheduled PM inspections automatically — HVAC filter checks, plumbing inspections, deep cleaning coordination.
06
Full Resolution Audit Trail
Every request tracked from PMS entry to work order close — with timestamps, technician details, parts used, and photo verification.
07

Frequently Asked Questions
PMS-CMMS Integration — What Hotel Operations Leaders Ask Most
How long does PMS-CMMS integration take to set up?
For supported PMS platforms (Opera, Mews, Cloudbeds, Protel, Hotelogix), integration is typically configured within 2–5 business days. No custom development is required. For PMS platforms not on the supported list, Oxmaint's open REST API allows custom integration — typically completed in 1–3 weeks. Book a demo and bring your PMS details.
Does the integration require IT involvement at the property?
Minimal. For cloud PMS platforms (Mews, Cloudbeds, Hotelogix), setup requires API credentials only — no server access, no on-premise configuration. For Opera on-premise deployments, a lightweight API connector is configured with your IT team in a single session. Start your free trial — integration support is included.
Is guest personal data shared between PMS and CMMS?
Only the data required for maintenance context — room number, request type, and occupancy status. Guest PII (names, payment details, contact information) is not transferred to Oxmaint. All data exchange is encrypted with AES-256/TLS 1.3 and compliant with GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, and PDPL. Talk to our security team — book a 30-minute demo.
Can one integration serve a multi-property hotel group?
Yes. Oxmaint supports portfolio-wide PMS integration — one configuration serves all properties using the same PMS platform. Properties on different PMS platforms can each connect independently while sharing a single Oxmaint portfolio dashboard. Start with your first property — free trial, no credit card.
