AL: ALICE <> Transcendent Integration

Overview:

Hoteliers are facing challenges in coordinating the various digital tools used to manage their hotels. They require integrated solutions, actionable data, and seamless cross-department communication to meet their guests' growing expectations. Transcendent Rooms, a product by Actabl, addresses these needs by connecting Transcendent Engineering (PM) and ALICE Housekeeping, facilitating efficient collaboration between departments.

Product Highlights:

Real-time Work Creation: Room Attendants can easily create work requests for the Engineering department using their housekeeping app.
Status Tracking: Room Attendants can monitor the status of assigned work, including the assigned technician's information.
Work Order Details: 'Room Status' and 'Front Office Status' are displayed for all Transcendent Work Orders related to a Guest Room Asset.
Communication: Engineers and Housekeeping team members can communicate through Work Notes for work identified by Housekeeping.
Notification: Engineers receive notifications when work submitted by Housekeeping renders a room Non-Rentable.

Integration Field Mapping: Housekeeping Tickets to Engineering Work Orders:

1. Service Issue > Work Order Description: ALICE Tickets' service issues populate the 'Description' of the Work Order in Transcendent.
2. Ticket Status <> Work Status: Both systems share the same five possible statuses, allowing direct matching.
3. Due Date > Due Date: The due date is transferred seamlessly.
4. Created By > Requested By: The requester's information is retained.
5. Location > Location: Locations not present in Transcendent Engineering are created through the integration.
6. Internal Notes <> Work Notes: Internal notes from ALICE correspond to Work Notes.
7. Photo > Photo: Photos associated with the work are carried over.
8. Assigned To <> Assigned To: Users assigned in ALICE must be created in Transcendent through the integration for this feature to work.
