Key Features: log cleaning and maintenance issues or organise replacements for items or key safety equipment, such as sensors or smoke alarms. A breakdown of the costs can be added for each action. From actions, create checklists that can be easily marked as done/not done, notify key staff or contractors with outstanding lists updated automatically.

Key Benefits: actions can easily be tracked and traced through to their conclusion providing clients, management teams and suppliers with up-to-date information. With agreed accountability, provide total transparency by auto-sending reports to share/download or in PDF format all within the same system.

Please note that this feature comes standard with our Enterprise plan and is also available as part of our Advanced Actions add-on package. Contact our Support team for more info.


InventoryBase provides a feature to flag items with follow-up actions or highlight issues throughout a property. By using Actions, you can log all cleaning, maintenance issues, replacements, etc. on file, delivered on your report and downloadable as a separate report. You can read an overview on Advanced Actions here.

With the Work Order feature you can:

  • Create checklists from Actions

  • Easily mark each Action's status as Done/Not Done

  • Mark as Complete to notify any appropriate parties

  • Create reports which you can share/download as a PDF

πŸ†• Workorders now appear under it's own category on the online dashboard:
