The Best STR Operations Software for New Orleans Property Managers Using Guesty

Guesty is an excellent PMS—it manages reservations, channels, payments, and guest messaging beautifully. But Guesty does not manage the execution layer: what happens between check-out and check-in, who does it, whether it actually gets done, and whether the property is truly ready. That is where Keepers enters for New Orleans operators. When a guest checks out in Guesty, Keepers automatically creates a cleaning job, assigns it to a confirmed cleaner or cleaning company, attaches the property-specific turnover checklist, and sets the timeline based on the next guest arrival. The cleaner receives the job details through the Keepers mobile app, completes the checklist step by step, and submits photo evidence before marking the job complete. Meanwhile, Keepers tracks maintenance issues that surface during the cleaning—a broken appliance, a damaged wall, a safety concern—and routes them to service providers in the New Orleans Keepers marketplace. Inventory confirmation happens as part of the cleaning workflow, so the operator knows every property was restocked before the next guest. All of this happens without a single manual follow-up message, spreadsheet update, or status call. New Orleans property managers using Guesty + Keepers see the full turnover pipeline in Keepers while reservations continue flowing through Guesty. The two systems talk to each other, eliminating the friction that usually exists between the PMS and the operations layer. This is the integration difference: Guesty tells you a guest is arriving; Keepers makes sure the property is actually ready.

New Orleans has a large, active short-term rental market, but finding reliable local cleaners and service providers is competitive. Many New Orleans operators start with personal referrals and Facebook groups, but vetting, onboarding, and retaining cleaners without a structured system creates turnover and operational gaps. Keepers marketplace solves this by connecting New Orleans operators with vetted cleaners, cleaning companies, maintenance professionals, plumbers, electricians, HVAC providers, and other service professionals already in the Keepers network. New Orleans marketplace coverage includes: 50+ vetted cleaners and cleaning companies across New Orleans neighborhoods (French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, Warehouse District, Garden District, Uptown, Mid-City); 15+ maintenance and handyman companies; 12+ plumbers and electricians; 10+ HVAC providers; 8+ pool service companies; 10+ other specialty service providers. Property managers new to New Orleans can onboard to Keepers and immediately have access to local provider options—no months-long recruitment cycle. Existing cleaners and vendors can be added to the platform alongside marketplace providers, so all vendor communication and job tracking happens in one place. New Orleans operators benefit from marketplace provider choice—they are not locked into one company or dependent on a single cleaner. When a cleaner goes unavailable or underperforms, alternative providers are already vetted and available. This provider density and choice is a major retention driver for New Orleans property managers using Keepers.

The onboarding process is straightforward: 1) Connect your Guesty account to Keepers—the integration is one-click, and Keepers immediately pulls in your New Orleans properties, reservations, and guest data. 2) Configure your property profiles in Keepers—set up property-specific cleaning checklists, maintenance standards, inventory lists, and AI Quality Assurance reference images so the system knows what guest-ready looks like for each property. 3) Add your team—invite cleaners, property managers, co-hosts, and other team members to Keepers so they see the jobs and communication assigned to them. 4) Onboard cleaners or add marketplace providers—bring your existing New Orleans cleaners into Keepers, or browse the marketplace and add vetted local providers who are already active. 5) Run your first turnover—the next guest checkout in Guesty will trigger your first automated cleaning job in Keepers, and you will see the full workflow in action. New Orleans property managers report that the integration setup takes 1-2 hours and the payoff starts immediately—faster turnovers, fewer coordination texts, clear visibility into property readiness.
